FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for waterproof trail running?
The product description indicates they are trainers for trail running. While they offer good protection, they are not explicitly described as waterproof unless a Gore-Tex (GTX) variant is specified.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Merrell and compare it to your foot measurements. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
Yes, while designed for trail running, their cushioning and support make them comfortable for general walking and everyday wear.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the sole that shields your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, preventing discomfort and injury.
How often should I clean my trail running shoes?
It is best to clean them after each significant use, especially if they have been exposed to mud or dirt, to maintain their condition and performance.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole?
The Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole is renowned for its exceptional traction, providing reliable grip on both wet and dry surfaces, which is crucial for challenging trail conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Adjust the lacing system, ensuring it is not overtightened. Try different lacing techniques or consider if the size is correct for your foot shape.
Grip is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly worn outsoles, replacement might be necessary.
Cushioning feels insufficient.
The FloatPro Foam is designed for lightweight cushioning. If more padding is desired, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Difficulty pulling shoes on.
Utilize the pull tab at the heel. Loosen the laces significantly before attempting to put the shoe on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Agility Peak 5 trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure you have your preferred athletic socks. Adjust the lacing system for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring no pressure points.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running and general outdoor hiking. They are compatible with standard athletic socks and are suitable for use on a wide range of natural terrain.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or extreme temperatures.
