FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for winter running?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit waterproofing provides excellent protection against cold and wet conditions, making them suitable for winter trail running. However, they do not feature specific insulation.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when walking or running.

Can I use these for road running?

While the Vibram® Megagrip outsole offers good grip on most surfaces, it is optimized for trails. Using them extensively on hard pavement may lead to faster outsole wear and a less comfortable ride compared to road-specific shoes.

What is the main benefit of FlexConnect™ technology?

FlexConnect™ technology utilizes dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole. This enhances ground connection and allows the shoe to move more naturally with your foot, improving agility and responsiveness on uneven terrain.

How often should I clean my trainers?

It's best to clean off loose dirt and mud after each significant use. For a more thorough clean, hand wash them periodically as needed, especially after particularly muddy or wet runs.

What is the difference between the Agility Peak 6 and the GORE-TEX® version?

The primary difference is the inclusion of GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit waterproofing in this version, which adds a layer of protection against water and moisture while remaining lightweight and breathable.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®

Ensure the laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or fabric. Water may also be entering from the sock if they are not waterproof.

Traction is reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Vibram® Megagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated mud or debris. Ensure the rubber is not worn down excessively. Some extremely polished or icy surfaces will naturally have less grip.

Discomfort during the first few runs

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter runs or walks initially. Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable pressure distribution. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks.

Midsole feels too firm

The FloatPro™ foam is designed for durability and energy return; it may feel firmer than EVA foams. Break-in will soften it slightly. Ensure you are using the correct size, as a shoe that is too small can feel firmer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for wet conditions.
  • Superior grip and traction on diverse trail surfaces.
  • Responsive cushioning for energy return on long runs.
  • Durable construction built to withstand rugged terrain.
  • Good stability and ground feel.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • The low profile might offer less ankle support for some runners.
  • Not ideal for extremely muddy or boggy conditions where deeper lugs might be preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly using the lace fastening for a secure and comfortable fit before your first run. It is recommended to wear them for shorter distances initially to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's structure.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult female trail runners. Compatible with most standard running socks. The lace system allows for adjustment to accommodate various foot widths.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could compromise its integrity. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
