FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Agility Peak 5?
The Agility Peak 5 is primarily designed for trail running, including ultra-distance and cross-country events. They are also noted for their versatility in other outdoor activities.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?

How much do the Agility Peak 5 trainers weigh?

The description does not specify width options. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts for fit guidance based on typical Merrell shoe dimensions.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
Yes, they are designed for use in all conditions, offering excellent traction. However, like all footwear, performance may vary on extremely slick surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Break them in gradually on shorter runs before undertaking long distances.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean thoroughly. While designed for all conditions, extreme wet surfaces may naturally have reduced grip compared to dry trails.
Heel slippage occurs during runs
Verify the heel counter is properly engaging your heel. Ensure laces are tied securely using the provided eyelets, utilizing the heel lock lacing technique if necessary.
