FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?

Yes, the Agility Peak 6 offers excellent support, cushioning, and traction, making them suitable for hiking on varied terrain, especially if you prefer a more responsive feel.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Merrell or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on with your usual running socks is also advised.

Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?

Yes, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides reliable traction on wet surfaces. However, always exercise caution on extremely slippery terrain.

What is the main benefit of the FlexConnect™ technology?

FlexConnect™ technology enhances stability by providing a more connected feel to the ground, crucial for maintaining balance and control on uneven and technical trails.

How durable is the FloatPro™ foam midsole?

FloatPro™ foam is engineered for resilience and durability, designed to maintain its cushioning and energy return properties over many miles of trail running.

Will the forefoot rock plate interfere with comfort?

The rock plate is designed to protect your feet without causing discomfort during normal trail running. Some users may notice it initially, but it typically becomes unnoticeable after a break-in period.

What terrain is this shoe best suited for?

These shoes are specifically designed for rugged, unpredictable trail running terrain, including rocky paths, dirt trails, and ascents/descents.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean. Remove any mud or debris that may be lodged in the tread pattern. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify that the lacing is adjusted correctly, providing a secure fit without being too tight. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. The forefoot rock plate may require a short break-in period.

Soles showing excessive wear

Inspect the type of terrain where the shoes are primarily used. These shoes are optimized for trails; frequent use on hard surfaces like pavement can accelerate outsole wear.

Midsole feels too firm

The FloatPro™ foam midsole is designed for resilient energy return and stability, which can initially feel firmer than softer foams. Allow for a break-in period of 10-20 miles on trails for the cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly by trying them on with the type of socks you typically use for trail running. Adjust lacing for a snug, secure fit without constriction.

Compatibility: The Merrell Agility Peak 6 is designed for trail running and compatible with most standard trail running socks. They are not specifically designed for use with gaiters, but many standard gaiters may fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
