FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Agility Peak 5 can handle short sections of road to get to a trail, they are primarily designed and optimized for off-road trail running. The aggressive tread of the Vibram MegaGrip outsole is best suited for varied natural terrains.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 Trail Shoes have a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.
How should I clean my Agility Peak 5 shoes?
Brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or dry. Air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for ventilation and breathability, not for waterproofing. While it offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof.
What does the gaiter D-ring attachment do?
The D-ring allows you to easily attach trail running gaiters, which help to prevent debris like small rocks, sand, and leaves from entering your shoes during a run.
What kind of traction can I expect from the outsole?
These shoes feature a Vibram MegaGrip outsole, known for providing 'unbeatable traction' on both wet and dry surfaces, giving you confidence on diverse and challenging trails.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, Merrell has incorporated sustainability into the Agility Peak 5, utilizing 100% recycled laces, webbing, breathable mesh lining, and a 100% recycled mesh footbed cover, along with a 50% recycled EVA foam footbed.
Troubleshooting
Poor traction on certain surfaces
While Vibram MegaGrip offers excellent traction, extreme mud or highly polished wet surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure your stride is appropriate for the conditions and consider replacing shoes if the tread is significantly worn.
Foot discomfort or hot spots during runs
Check your lacing for tightness; an overly tight or loose fit can cause issues. Ensure you are wearing appropriate trail running socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the 6mm heel-to-toe drop is suitable for your running mechanics. Allow a break-in period for new shoes.
Debris getting into the shoes
Utilize the integrated gaiter D-ring attachment. Purchase and attach compatible trail running gaiters to prevent stones, sand, and other debris from entering the shoe, especially on very loose or sandy trails.

Care:
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: After each run, gently brush off loose dirt and mud using a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odour Prevention: Remove insoles after runs to allow both the insoles and shoes to air out thoroughly. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
