FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a breathable mesh upper for ventilation. While it offers some resistance to splashes, it is not explicitly designed to be fully waterproof and may allow water penetration in very wet conditions.
How do I clean my Agility Peak 5 shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Removing the insoles can help them dry faster.
What kind of terrain are these best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for challenging and technical trails, including rocky paths, varied gradients, and mixed wet/dry conditions. The Vibram® Mega Grip outsole provides excellent traction on these surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Agility Peak 5 comes with removable EVA insoles, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort and support.
Is there a break-in period required?
While generally comfortable out of the box, it's recommended to wear the Agility Peak 5 for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to fully adapt to your feet, especially given their robust protective features.
What is the Rock Plate feature for?
The Rock Plate is an insole component strategically placed to provide excellent protection against sharp rocks, roots, and other debris you might encounter on rugged trails, enhancing foot safety and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Poor grip on wet or muddy surfaces.
Ensure the outsole tread is clean and free of caked-on mud or debris, which can reduce traction. While the Vibram® Mega Grip is excellent, extreme conditions or worn tread can still impact performance.
Discomfort or hotspots during long runs/hikes.
Check your lacing; an overly tight or loose fit can cause issues. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Also, ensure your socks are suitable for the activity and that the removable EVA insole is properly seated. Allow for a break-in period.
My feet feel too hot or sweaty.
The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper, but intense activity or hot weather can still cause warmth. Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Remove shoes and insoles for airing out after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the integrated lacing system is snug but not overly tight. Adjust laces to provide a secure, customized fit across your midfoot. Double-knot for security during active use.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet, especially if you're new to trail-specific footwear.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Best suited for challenging and technical trails, including rocky paths, muddy sections, and varied gradients. The Vibram® outsole performs well on both wet and dry natural surfaces.
- Activity: Ideal for trail running, hiking, fastpacking, and light trekking.
- Footwear: Compatible with standard athletic socks. Consider moisture-wicking socks for optimal comfort.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn grime, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials. You can remove the EVA insoles to speed up drying and air out the interior.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or material degradation.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the upper for any damage. Addressing minor issues early can extend the lifespan of your shoes.
