FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 6 are designed to be true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size. Half sizes are available in selected sizes.
How do I clean my Agility Peak 6 trainers?
You can clean them by wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking them.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While primarily designed for trail running, their stability, grip, and protective features also make them suitable for moderate hiking on uneven terrain.
What is the benefit of the GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit?
GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit provides lightweight, waterproof protection and enhanced breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions without adding bulk.
Can I use these shoes on road surfaces?
These trainers are optimized for trail running. While they can be used on short road sections, they may not offer the same comfort or durability as dedicated road running shoes.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
They are best suited for rugged and unpredictable trails, including rocky, muddy, and uneven surfaces, thanks to their superior traction and protective features.
What is the purpose of the FLEXconnect™ technology?
FLEXconnect™ technology features dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole that enhance ground connection and provide a stable feel, allowing for more natural foot movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace fastening. For a tighter fit, pull laces more firmly. For a looser fit, slacken the laces. If the standard fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean. Remove any mud, debris, or excessive wear that might impede traction. Check for wear and tear on the lugs.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
While GORE-TEX® is waterproof, prolonged submersion or very high pressure can eventually allow water ingress. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seals.
Discomfort on rocky terrain
Confirm the forefoot rock plate is functioning correctly. Ensure laces are tied properly to keep the foot secure and prevent excessive movement on uneven ground.
