FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Merrell Agility Peak 6 Trainers are designed for breathability and drainage, not full waterproofing. They are intended for trail running where quick drying and ventilation are important.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These trainers are optimized for rugged trails, including dirt, rocks, gravel, and moderate mud. They offer excellent grip and stability on uneven and unpredictable surfaces.
How do I know if the size is right?
It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Trail running shoes should have enough room in the toe box for your foot to swell slightly and to prevent toes from hitting the front on descents, but not so loose that your foot slides.
How do I clean the Vibram® Megagrip outsole?
Remove loose dirt with a dry brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse and allow to air dry.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be used for short road sections, they are not ideal for dedicated road running. The aggressive tread pattern and trail-specific cushioning are best utilized on natural terrain.
What is the purpose of the forefoot rock plate?
The forefoot rock plate is a protective layer designed to shield your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards commonly found on trails, preventing discomfort and injury.
How does the FlexConnect™ technology contribute to performance?
FlexConnect™ technology integrates with the midsole to provide a stable platform and enhance ground connection, particularly useful for maintaining balance and control on technical terrain.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can clog the lugs, reducing effectiveness. Clean the sole with water and a brush.
Foot fatigue after long runs.
While designed for long miles, ensure the fit is correct. Consider if additional cushioning or support inserts are needed for your specific foot type or running style. Break-in period may also be beneficial.
Water enters the shoe easily.
These trainers are designed for breathability and drainage, not full waterproofing. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a more specialized waterproof shoe.
Laces become untied during a run.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing standard laces with lock laces for added security on demanding terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Merrell Agility Peak 6 Trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. For optimal performance, it is recommended to wear them for a short period on easier terrain before undertaking a long or challenging trail run.
Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for trail running and are compatible with various outdoor terrains including dirt paths, rocky trails, gravel, and moderate mud. They are not optimized for road running or highly technical, obstacle-course racing scenarios.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing the shoes with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
