Merrell Agility Peak 5

Merrell Agility Peak 5 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size confirmed across multiple sources. Toe box wide enough for wide feet; heel can slip on some foot shapes, addressable with heel-lock lacing.

Feel

Balanced FloatPro midsole: cushioning is present but not soft, with good response on firm terrain. The 6 mm drop drives forward momentum and engages the rocker effectively.

Durability

Over 50 miles with no significant wear on the Vibram MegaGrip outsole. TPU overlays protect the upper. Laces reported by some as a weak point at the top eyelets.

Best for

Versatile trail shoe for long-run and ultra paces on mixed road-to-trail terrain. Suited to runners seeking protection and grip without excessive weight.

Weak points

Recurring heel slippage across multiple testers, partially addressable with alternative lacing. Toe box flagged as narrow by Runrepeat and one BITR tester. One tester notes actual drop feels higher than the stated 6 mm.
