FAQs

Are the Merrell Agility Peak 6 suitable for hiking as well as trail running?

Yes, while designed for trail running, their stability, cushioning, and protective features also make them suitable for hiking on rugged terrain.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® waterproofing remains effective?

Clean the shoes regularly and allow them to air dry. Avoid using direct heat sources for drying. While GORE-TEX® is durable, prolonged immersion or damage to the membrane can affect its performance.

What is the main difference between the Agility Peak 6 and other trail shoes?

The Agility Peak 6 distinguishes itself with the combination of GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit waterproofing, FloatPro™ foam for energy return, FlexConnect™ for stability, and a Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug technology for exceptional grip on challenging terrain.

Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?

The GORE-TEX® membrane offers waterproofing but can sometimes reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes in extremely high temperatures. For very hot and dry conditions, non-waterproof versions might offer better ventilation.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to try them on in person if possible, as trail shoe fit can be personal. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically use for trail running. Check the sizing guide and ensure there is a little room in the toe box for downhill descents.

What maintenance is required for the Vibram® Megagrip outsole?

Regularly clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris that could impair its grip. Inspect for excessive wear.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Minor water ingress might occur through the ankle collar if submerged. Check that laces are tied securely to maximize protection. If persistent, the membrane may be compromised and may require further inspection.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the lugs. Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip is not excessively worn down. For extremely slick conditions, extra caution is advised.

Discomfort or hot spots during runs

Verify the correct shoe size and width. Consider the socks being worn; moisture-wicking socks can improve comfort. Break in the shoes on shorter runs before longer distances. Ensure laces are tied properly, not too tight or too loose.

Shoe feels unstable on uneven ground

Confirm the shoe size is correct and that the foot is well-secured within the shoe. The FlexConnect™ technology is designed for stability, but initial runs may require adjustment to the feel. Ensure you are using them on intended trail terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready for the trails right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. It is recommended to wear them for short walks or runs to break them in before embarking on long trail adventures.

Compatibility:

Primarily designed for adult male trail runners. They are compatible with most types of trail terrain, including rocky, muddy, and uneven surfaces. Not optimized for road running.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
