FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Agility Peak 6 model is breathable and does not feature a dedicated waterproof membrane; it is designed for maximum ventilation.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically usable on pavement, the Vibram Megagrip compound is optimized for trails and will wear down faster on abrasive concrete surfaces.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Agility Peak 6 is designed as a lightweight trail shoe, but specific weight varies by the exact size ordered.
How do I maintain the tortoiseshell detailing?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents when cleaning; simple water and a soft cloth are sufficient to maintain the finish.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The shoe provides moderate neutral support, utilizing the midsole foam to cradle the foot arch during movement.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole debris accumulation
The Traction Lug system is designed to shed mud, but if debris sticks, use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the gaps between lugs.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel fit and prevent internal movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Agility Peak 6 shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you account for foot swelling by wearing the socks you intend to use for hiking when fitting.
- Break-in: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform short walks on local trails before embarking on long-distance treks.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water—do not submerge in a washing machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the breakdown of the midsole foam or adhesive materials.
