Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 is designed for serious trail runners seeking optimal traction, protection, and comfort across varied and challenging terrain. Its key advantage lies in its superior grip provided by the Vibram MegaGrip outsole and a protective design that shields your feet from trail hazards. While exceptionally suited for off-road adventures, its specialized trail features mean it's primarily intended for dedicated trail use rather than versatile road running.

FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a technical mesh upper designed for optimal ventilation. This means they are highly breathable and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to splashes but will eventually soak through in heavy rain or deep puddles.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for technical and varied trail terrain. The Vibram MegaGrip® outsole with 5mm lugs, along with the rock plate and protective toe cap, makes them ideal for rocky paths, muddy trails, loose gravel, and mixed wet/dry conditions.
How should I clean my Agility Peak 5 shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush, lukewarm water, and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
Being 'vegan-friendly' means that the Merrell Agility Peak 5 is constructed entirely without the use of any animal-derived materials or by-products. This includes adhesives, dyes, and structural components.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The integrated rock plate provides crucial underfoot protection, shielding your foot from sharp rocks, roots, and other potential hazards you might encounter on uneven or technical trails.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While primarily designed for trail running, you can use the Agility Peak 5 for short stretches of road. However, the aggressive 5mm lugs and firm cushioning optimized for trails might feel less comfortable and wear down faster on pavement compared to a dedicated road running shoe.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The technical mesh upper provides ventilation, but a non-breathable sock can negate this. Also, ensure your shoes are properly sized; overly tight shoes can restrict airflow.
I'm still getting debris inside my shoes on trails.
Consider utilizing the Gaiter D-Ring feature. Attach compatible trail gaiters to block out pebbles, sand, and other small particles from entering the shoe's collar.
The shoe seems to be losing its fresh smell despite Cleansport NXT™.
While Cleansport NXT™ provides natural odor control, it works best when shoes are allowed to fully dry after each use. Ensure you air dry your shoes thoroughly in a well-ventilated area after every run. If persistent, a gentle wash with mild soap and water can help.
My feet feel sore after running on very rocky terrain.
The Agility Peak 5 includes a rock plate for protection. If soreness persists, double-check your lacing for a secure fit, and ensure your running form is efficient on technical terrain. Consider checking the age of your shoes; cushioning and protection can degrade over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a snug, secure fit. The 100% recycled laces and straps are designed for durability and hold.
Compatibility
- Gaiters: The integrated Gaiter D-Ring near the toe allows for easy attachment of compatible trail gaiters. This is particularly useful for preventing debris, sand, or snow from entering your shoes on challenging trails.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, pair these shoes with high-performance trail running socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Agility Peak 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, remove any loose dirt or mud by tapping the shoes together. For more stubborn grime, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and lukewarm water with a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage materials.
- Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment naturally helps control odors. To maximize its effectiveness, always ensure your shoes are completely dry before storing them.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
