Merrell Agility Trail Waterproof Hiking Shoes - Blue - UK 10

The Agility Trail shoes are designed for off-road trails, making them suitable for both hiking and trail running due to their cushioning and traction features.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure with minimal lift when walking.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

The dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole enhance ground connection, allowing the shoe to move naturally with your foot and adapt to uneven terrain for better stability.

FloatPro™ foam is engineered for enduring comfort and energy return, designed to maintain its cushioning properties over many miles of use.

The shoes feature a breathable mesh and synthetic upper designed to allow some airflow, helping to manage heat buildup. However, like most waterproof footwear, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof options.

This refers to a sealed, waterproof inner lining (like a sock) within the shoe that is attached to the upper and tongue, providing a barrier against water entry.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any punctures or damage to the waterproof membrane. Prolonged submersion in deep water may exceed the waterproof rating.

Clean the outsole lugs of any mud or debris, as this can impair traction. The 3mm lugs offer good grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a challenge. Ensure the shoes fit snugly to prevent foot movement inside.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before longer excursions.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Use the Cleansport NXT™ treatment, which helps neutralize odor. Regular cleaning will also help manage odor.
