FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Merrell Agility Peak 5?
These shoes are specifically designed for trail running, including ultramarathons, cross-country races, and trail 5Ks, offering maximum cushioning and versatile grip for off-road terrains.
How does the 'increased rocker' benefit my running?
The increased rocker design promotes a smoother heel-to-toe transition, which helps improve running efficiency and comfort, especially over longer distances and varied terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for road running as well?
While their versatile grip can handle some paved surfaces, the Agility Peak 5 is optimized for off-road conditions. Road running might cause faster wear on the trail-specific outsole and may not offer the same cushioned feel as dedicated road shoes.
What is the weight of the Merrell Agility Peak 5?
The shoes feature a lighter build, weighing in at under 10.6 ounces, which contributes to reduced fatigue during long runs.
How do I ensure the best fit for these shoes?
The sculpted heel cup is designed for an improved fit and reduced slippage. To maximize comfort, ensure you choose the correct size, lace them securely, and wear appropriate running socks. Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, follow the care instructions provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for manual cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too loose or slips inside the shoe.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a lacing technique that matches your foot shape. Consider different sock thicknesses or lacing patterns like a 'heel lock' to improve fit.
Reduced grip on wet or muddy trails.
Regularly check the outsole tread for embedded debris like small stones or mud, which can reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly after each run. If the issue persists, the tread might be worn, indicating it's time for new shoes.
Discomfort or hotspots developing during runs.
Verify your shoe size is correct; ill-fitting shoes are a primary cause of discomfort. Ensure your socks are appropriate for trail running. Break in new shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Care
To maintain the longevity and performance of your Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes (made from Polyester material), follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy trails, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the upper and sole.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
