FAQs
Is the Agility Peak 6 waterproof?
This model focuses on breathability and drainage for performance; it is not inherently waterproof. Consider using a technical water-repellent spray if conditions require it.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the outsole lugs are designed for soft surfaces and will wear down prematurely on hard pavement or concrete.
How should I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a medium-stiff brush and warm water to scrub the lugs, ensuring you remove all mud and small debris to maintain grip.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The shoe features a neutral, supportive footbed, but it is compatible with aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch correction.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this series is designed with a unisex fit, ensuring a wide range of availability for different foot shapes and sizes.
How long should the cushioning last?
The FloatPro foam is engineered for longevity, though typical athletic shoe replacement intervals of 300-500 miles apply depending on terrain severity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or hot spots during long hikes
Ensure your lacing is not too tight across the instep and check that your socks are moisture-wicking and specifically designed for hiking.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using a trail gaiter if you are frequently traversing sandy or gravel-filled trails, as this will seal the collar area.
Traction seems less effective than expected
Check the outsole for caked-on mud or embedded small stones; clear the lugs with a stiff brush to restore maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the shoes are properly broken in with shorter walks to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike pattern. To maintain the life of your Agility Peak 6, remove loose dirt after every use using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing as it can compromise the structural integrity of the midsole and glue bonds. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, to prevent material deformation.
