FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their technical design is optimized for trail running. They are best used for their intended purpose to ensure longevity and performance.
How do I know if I need a larger size?
Trail running shoes should allow for slight foot swelling during activity. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end when standing. If the shoes feel restrictive from the start, consider trying a half-size up.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's construction and the waterproof membrane. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
How long does the Gore-Tex waterproofing typically last?
The Gore-Tex membrane is durable and designed for the lifespan of the shoe. Proper care, as outlined, will help maintain its waterproof properties.
What is the main advantage of the Agility Peak 5 over other trail shoes?
The Agility Peak 5 offers a blend of rugged protection, superior comfort, and agility specifically for highly technical and obstacle-laden trails, with the added benefit of Gore-Tex waterproofing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex
Check for tears or damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. The membrane is waterproof but not submersible; prolonged immersion can lead to water entry.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the tightness persists, consider that this model may run snug and a half-size larger might be more comfortable, especially for wider feet.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole treads of mud or debris. While the outsole is designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces like wet polished rock can challenge any shoe's traction.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
