FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 5G offers excellent grip and support, making them suitable for hiking on varied terrain in addition to trail running.
How do I maintain the waterproof capabilities of the GORE-TEX?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and cold water, followed by air drying, helps maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's performance. Avoid heat and harsh chemicals.
What is the primary advantage of the Agility Peak 5G series?
The Agility Peak 5G series is known for its exceptional grip on technical trails and reliable waterproof protection, allowing for confident performance in challenging conditions.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
While GORE-TEX provides breathability, it is a waterproof membrane. For very hot and dry conditions, you might find lighter, non-waterproof trail shoes more comfortable. However, they are still functional in warm weather if the chance of rain or wet crossings exists.
How often should I clean my trail running shoes?
It's recommended to clean off loose dirt after each use. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, depending on the conditions you run in. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What does 'Gore-Tex' mean for my feet?
GORE-TEX is a waterproof and breathable membrane that prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are securely tightened to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seals. Clean the shoes to ensure the membrane's breathability isn't obstructed.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The aggressive tread is optimized for trails. On very smooth or wet artificial surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can compromise traction.
Discomfort or rubbing
Re-adjust the lace tension for a more secure, yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. If the issue persists, the shoe size or fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For heavier dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- GORE-TEX Maintenance: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the GORE-TEX membrane, periodically clean the shoes as described above. Avoid machine washing or drying.
