FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Agility Peak 6 trainers are versatile and provide excellent support, cushioning, and grip, making them suitable for both trail running and long-distance hiking on varied terrain.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the shoes securely, ensuring your heel is locked into the heel cup. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Can I use these shoes in very cold weather?
While the GORE-TEX® provides waterproofing, these are not insulated winter boots. They are suitable for cool to mild winter conditions on trails, but may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold.
How durable is the Vibram® Megagrip outsole?
Vibram® Megagrip is known for its exceptional durability and high performance on challenging surfaces. With proper care and use on intended terrain, it offers long-lasting traction.
What is the difference between this model and non-GORE-TEX® versions?
The key difference is the GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit membrane, which adds a layer of reliable waterproofing and windproofing to the shoe, ideal for wet conditions, while maintaining breathability.
How should I care for the GORE-TEX® membrane?
Avoid using harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach. Clean with mild soap and water, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Minor wear on the lugs is normal but significant degradation might indicate the outsole needs replacement.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Check for obvious tears or damage to the upper or GORE-TEX® membrane. Ensure socks are not saturated from the top opening. If the membrane is intact, it might indicate a need for re-waterproofing treatment on the upper material over time, though the membrane itself is highly durable.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Midsole feels too firm
The FloatPro™ foam and FlexConnect™ technology are designed for stability and responsiveness. It may take a few miles for the midsole to fully 'break in' and conform to your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on diverse surfaces thanks to Vibram® Megagrip and Traction Lug tech.
- Waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit keeps feet dry without sacrificing breathability.
- Comfortable and responsive cushioning with FloatPro™ foam for long-distance support.
- Enhanced stability and ground feel provided by FlexConnect™ technology and flex-grooves.
- Protective forefoot rock plate for added safety on rough trails.
Cons
- May be overly aggressive for casual trail use or groomed paths.
- The robust design might feel stiffer to runners accustomed to minimalist shoes.
- Limited colour options available for this specific model.
- Waterproofing, while excellent, may reduce breathability slightly in very hot, dry conditions compared to non-waterproof versions.
- Lace fastening requires manual adjustment for optimal fit.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required beyond ensuring a comfortable lace-up fit. They are designed to be compatible with standard athletic socks. To maintain the performance and longevity of your Agility Peak 6 trainers, it is recommended to clean them after each use, especially if exposed to mud or dirt. Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly with cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. The GORE-TEX® membrane should not be exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this can compromise its waterproof and breathable properties.
