FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a TPU Gore-Tex waterproof upper, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While durable, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 is primarily designed for the demands of trail running. It may not offer the same cushioning or smooth ride optimal for extensive road running.
How do I clean my Agility Peak 5 sneakers?
Brush off loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do they offer good grip in wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram MegaGrip high-performance rubber outsole provides excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces, enhancing stability on varied terrains.
What is Cleansport NXT™?
Cleansport NXT™ is a natural odor control treatment applied to the shoes, helping to keep them fresh during and after use.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
These sneakers are best suited for technical trails, muddy paths, rocky terrain, and other varied outdoor surfaces that demand superior grip and protection.
How do I maintain the waterproofing of the shoes?
Periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for Gore-Tex footwear to maintain its water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim.
Check if water entered over the top of the shoe (e.g., deep puddles). Ensure the DWR coating is intact; reapply DWR spray if needed. Inspect for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane.
Poor traction on wet or loose surfaces.
Clean the Vibram MegaGrip outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if the lugs are significantly worn, traction will be reduced.
Unpleasant odor from the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after each use. The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps, but proper ventilation is key. Remove insoles to air out separately. If needed, use a shoe deodorizer.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Check your lacing; it might be too tight or too loose. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If new, allow a break-in period. If issues persist, re-evaluate sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply slip on the Merrell Agility Peak 5 and adjust the lacing system to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent movement on uneven terrain and reduce the risk of tripping.
Compatibility
These sneakers are primarily designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities where variable terrain and wet conditions are expected. They are suitable for technical trails, muddy paths, rocky ascents, and descents. While durable, they are specialized and may not offer the same comfort or efficiency for extensive road running.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt by brushing or gently tapping the shoes together. For mud, allow it to dry and then brush off. For deeper cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can degrade materials like Gore-Tex and adhesives. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing: Periodically re-treat the exterior with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for Gore-Tex footwear to maintain the shoe's water repellency over time.
- Odor Control: The integrated `Cleansport NXT™` treatment helps with odor, but ensuring shoes are dried properly after each use is crucial. If odors persist, consider using shoe deodorizers designed for athletic footwear.
