Agility Peak 6 trail trainers, beige/khaki, MERRELL

Wore these shoes hiking the AT for 302 miles. The shoes held up fairly well.., but found that the insert seemed to create mold after the first time getting wet (did not see this on the Peak 5). Easy fix, replaced insert with superfeet insert Also the Peak 6 model removed the Velcro heel feature and small loop near the toe like the Peak5, and made the gaiters I had not useable. Still a good shoe, just a little disappointed. Back in a pair of Agility Peak 5’s that I had prsviously bought.

I bought this pair about a month ago after doing some research on different shoes. Since then I have done Angel’s Landing, South Kaibab of the Grand Canyon, and various other hikes in the southwest. These have been amazing, great traction and excellent comfort without sacrificing any durability. I’ll certainly be getting another pair once these wear out, I hope to see a version with the BOA system in the near future.

Super comfortable and very breathable. Should be perfect for Summer wear.

These are great shoes. Lots of structural stability. Killer grip, good venting, flat laces stay snug and cool lace holder. A little more snug in the tube box compared to the novas but that is good for technical terrain.

Perfect hiking-running and everyday shoe. I hike with a 40lb vest and run same areas. Shoe fits both needs.

I’ve always bought the MOAB style Wide width shoes which provide excellent heel stability. The right shoe keeps on rolling to the right no matter how tight I go. I’m a big guy and maybe the lack of horizontal support is not there or just need a chiropractic adjustment to correct this.

Ran a trail half marathon the first time I put these on, and had zero issues. Rock plate must work like a dream, because I didn’t feel any. I can see these becoming my go-to trail shoe!

I tested these for the past few months and have enjoyed them. They are comfortable on long runs and feel responsive. I am a fan of using gaiters on trail runs so I personally put a piece of velcrow on the heel. They have worn well, I have over 200 miles on them and expect another 150-200 miles without issue.
