"the tread and grip was OUTSTANDING."
"wet rocks lots of technical terrain. ... every other bit of terrain, very grippy"
"Nakababa ako sa Litalit Trail ng KXC na mabilis at walang kaba ... 80° descent yun na combinations ng rocks, mud, at paved paths na malumot. Binagyo pa kami nun kaya doble ang dulas at putik"

"I feel this way about the agility peak 5 ... agile and fast over anything technical, from rocky singletrack accents and descents, to scrambling hand over foot on slabs."

"my heel was constantly coming up, I couldn't get a good lockdown. ... I've never experienced this is any pair of shoes. ... The smaller size is too snug in the toes, so I definitely can't go down a size."

"Maybe it’s the non-removable rock plate in the AP5 that makes them feel less bouncy to me."

Agreed here. Coincidentally wearing my AP5 BOA in the office right now. I’ve been really happy with my agility peaks and depending on where you’re based, the Merrell website has been running discounts.
r/trailrunning • Trail Shoe Advice/Recs ->Merrel Agility Peak 5 GTX - is a great max-cushioned trail shoe, nice and light with Goretex for wet conditions
r/trailrunning • Best trail running shoes ->Try the Merrel Agility Peak 5 GTX - excellent max cushioned trail shoe with goretex
r/trailrunning • Which trail shoes ->Try the Merrel Agility Peak 5 GTX - excellent max cushioned trail shoe with goretex
r/trailrunning • “Everyday” trail shoe ->I have 2 pairs of these, one Gore-tex and one not and I went TTS on both. I have pretty wide feet though.
r/trailrunning • Thoughts on Merrell Agility Peak 5 ->I have both the Merrells and the Speedgoats (I live in the PNW so both are Goretex) and of the two I prefer the Speedgoat. The Merrells feel clunky, stiff, and heavy compared to the Hoka. The Speedgoats are light but sturdy, and so comfortable. They also have great traction.
r/hiking • Trail runners/hiking shoe recommendations? ->I would go with something that’s less squishy, I tried the AP5s and I felt I would roll my ankle. I went with asics trabuco 12s, did a couple of races in them. they’re pretty stable, and I over pronate a lot. my road shoes are. asics gel kayanos
r/trailrunning • Agility peak 5 pronate ->This might be a fit thing. I tried the AP5s and found myself having very bad medial foot pain very soon into my run. Switched to the Salomon Genesis, and have not had it happen since. My podiatrist linked the pain to overpronation, and it was telling that I only had it with the AP5s, not with the SG5s I had before or the Genesis I have now.
r/trailrunning • Agility peak 5 pronate ->Asics trabucos are wide and roomy. The speedgoats 2E are actually very narrow and low volume. Even the mafate speed 4 in normal width are roomier. I tried topo MTN racer 3. They are wide in the forefoot, but narrow in the arch/midfoot. Can't wear them Agility peak 5 is also wide and high volume.
r/trailrunning • Trail running shoes for wide and flat feet ->The Saucony Xodus has a pretty high stack, and the PWRRUN PB is definitely a super foam. Version 4 is set to release in a couple of months with significant upgrades over the previous model—most notably, a Vibram outsole ([Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 First Look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klJoS7fwkJk)) Personally, I’m planning to grab a pair as soon as they drop and use them for all my summer 25 races. My Merrell Agility Peak 5s from last summer have flattened out, so it’s time for an upgrade!
r/AskRunningShoeGeeks • Super Foam Trail Shoe ->Merrill agility peak 5 have been a lot of fun and can get killer deals on them. I got house of dragon ones for under 60 I think lol
r/trailrunning • What trail running shoes & gear are you all rocking this season? ->I feel this way about the agility peak 5, and some of the sales make them an insane value
r/trailrunning • Up to 9 models of trail shoes and still looking... ->Fair critique, the plate does go up far enough to cause that stiffness
r/trailrunning • Up to 9 models of trail shoes and still looking... ->I got Merrell agility peak 5s for ~$60 on a double sale and LOVE them. I have ultrafly, terrex speed ultras, peg trail, speed 3s, catamounts, and kjerag as other reference points too.
