Merrell Agility Peak 5 - Grey - UK 12

The Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a breathable engineered mesh upper, which provides excellent ventilation but is not waterproof. They are designed to manage moisture by allowing sweat and some water to escape quickly, rather than keeping water out entirely. For waterproof options, look for Merrell models with Gore-Tex or similar membranes.

We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and wearing the type of socks you'd use for trail running. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, with a secure fit around the heel and midfoot. As these are Men's shoes, please consult the men's sizing chart.

While technically possible, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 is optimized for trail running. The aggressive Vibram MegaGrip outsole is designed for maximum traction on soft and uneven surfaces. Using them extensively on pavement can lead to faster wear of the outsole lugs and may feel less cushioned than road-specific running shoes.

FloatPro Foam is a lightweight and durable midsole material developed by Merrell. It provides long-lasting cushioning and energy return, designed to maintain its comfort properties over extended periods and tough terrains, making it ideal for high-mileage trail running.

Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes are constructed with 100% recycled materials in the laces, lining, and footbed, and contain no animal products, making them a vegan-friendly option for trail runners.

These shoes are best suited for varied and challenging trail terrain, including technical singletrack, rocky paths, muddy sections, and loose dirt. Their exceptional traction and cushioning make them ideal for mountain trails, cross country routes, and general outdoor adventures where reliable grip and comfort are essential.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in new shoes gradually on shorter runs. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking trail running socks to reduce friction. Check for any pressure points from lacing and adjust if necessary.

Clean the Vibram MegaGrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might be impairing grip. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for new shoes.

After each run, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. If odor persists, use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside, letting it sit overnight before shaking it out. Avoid storing shoes in damp places.

While durable, aggressive terrain can cause wear. Ensure you're cleaning them properly and avoiding harsh chemicals. If wear is significant, contact Merrell customer service, as it might be a manufacturing defect. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures.
