FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes waterproof?
The Agility Peak 5 is not explicitly marketed as a waterproof shoe. It features a breathable engineered mesh and TPU upper designed for ventilation and quick drying. For waterproof protection, consider a Gore-Tex version if available.
What is the drop of the Agility Peak 5?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 has a stack height of 31mm in the heel and 25mm in the forefoot, resulting in a 6mm drop.
Can these shoes be used for trail running as well as hiking?
Yes, the Agility Peak 5 is designed with features like FLEXconnect® flex-grooves and a high-performance Vibram® outsole that make them suitable for both hiking and trail running.
What does 'Vegan-Friendly' mean for these shoes?
Vegan-Friendly indicates that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of this shoe, including in the materials, dyes, or adhesives.
How do I clean the Cleansport NXT™ treatment?
Cleansport NXT™ is a natural odor control treatment applied to the footbed. It is not a surface coating that can be cleaned off. Regular cleaning of the shoe will help maintain its overall freshness.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the midsole. It shields the foot from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, reducing the risk of bruising and discomfort.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent damage or odor buildup. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or airtight containers, as this can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the size or fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The unique lug design helps shed material, but heavy buildup can affect performance. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.
Water retention or slow drying
While the materials are designed for breathability, prolonged submersion will cause water absorption. Ensure proper drying techniques are used after wet conditions. Air dry away from heat.
Laces come undone frequently
Re-tie the laces, ensuring a secure knot. Consider using a double knot if necessary. Inspect laces for wear and tear; consider replacing them if they are frayed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Agility Peak 5 requires no special setup. Simply ensure the laces are tied to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. The design is intended for immediate use out of the box.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps manage odor. Regular airing out and occasional cleaning will maintain freshness.
