Which trail running shoes should you choose in the Agility Peak range?

The Agility Peak range by Merrell is a benchmark for trail running enthusiasts looking for performance, comfort, and protection on all types of terrain. Whether you’re a regular runner or enjoy long outings in the mountains, choosing the right model in this range can make all the difference depending on your stride, the type of terrain, and the shape of your arch.

The various Agility Peak models stand out for their specific technical features designed to meet different needs: enhanced heel support, excellent stability on uneven ground, optimal grip in wet conditions, and an effective rock plate to protect against sharp terrain. The upper and top part of the shoes, made from tough, breathable materials, offer a great balance of support, comfort, and lightness.

Heel height also varies between models, influencing how the shoe supports your natural movement.

To help you find the best-fitting Merrell Agility Peak model, here’s our complete overview of the available versions—so you can choose with confidence based on your running preferences, the types of terrain you tackle, and your foot shape.

The Agility Peak 5 Gore-Tex: a top-tier trail shoe for men and women

By combining FLEXconnect and FloatPro technology in the dual midsole, Merrell delivers one of the most impressive cushioning systems out there. Whether you're planning ultra distances (up to 100 km), tackling very technical trails, or simply looking to protect your knees, the Agility Peak provides all the cushioning you need.

This model also features a Vibram MegaGrip outsole, offering excellent traction on both dry and slippery ground. With such a sole, all your energy transfers directly into the terrain for an efficient stride in any conditions.

This version also includes a D-ring at the front of the lacing system for attaching trail gaiters.

A 6 mm drop across all Agility Peak 4 and 5 models:

Not too low, not too high, Merrell has chosen an intermediate 6 mm drop, a smart choice that gives its flagship model outstanding versatility. This setup allows the shoe to adapt to a wide range of terrains and runner profiles. Whatever your experience level or body type, you can enjoy this all-terrain trail shoe, designed to strike the perfect balance between performance, comfort, and user-friendliness.

The Agility Peak 4 for men and women: a flagship model that built the brand’s reputation

With its intermediate drop, superb grip, and highly effective foam cushioning, the Merrell Agility Peak 4 has long been a benchmark in the world of trail running footwear. While its plush cushioning may reduce ground feel slightly, the shock absorption is so effective that you’ll soon be racking up the miles effortlessly.

Merrell Agility Peak 4 vs 5: our review after testing

The Merrell Agility Peak 5 retains the all-terrain DNA that made the previous version so successful, while offering several significant improvements in performance and comfort. Tested and approved by our experts, it stands out with its lighter weight compared to the Agility Peak 4. The optimised FloatPro™ foam delivers better energy return and enables a more dynamic stride—ideal for long and varied runs.

The 6 mm drop remains, offering an excellent balance between stability and running fluidity. The upper has been redesigned for a more secure fit and improved breathability, crucial during long runs. As for the Vibram® Megagrip outsole, it continues to provide superb grip on technical terrain, whether dry or wet.

The result: a more agile, responsive shoe, even better suited to long distances than the much-loved version 4, already praised for its durability and comfort.

Why choose the Agility Peak?

In the world of trail running, Merrell has become a go-to brand thanks to its robust, comfortable, and versatile models. The Agility Peak range, especially its latest version, the Agility Peak 5, perfectly embodies this approach, combining comfort, protection, and grip, whatever the distance or terrain type.

Designed for runners who tackle technical and varied trails—through woodland, mountains, or rolling paths—this range strikes an ideal balance between energy and shock absorption. With an integrated rock plate covering two-thirds of the sole, terrain irregularities such as rocks and roots are effectively filtered out, helping protect your arch and reduce fatigue on long outings.

The Agility Peak range is also known for its excellent stability, thanks in part to reinforced heel support, including a rigid, padded heel counter. This design is ideal for runners needing reliable support on technical sections with uneven footing.

Another key feature is the durable upper, made with recycled materials, which combines longevity with breathability, helping regulate foot temperature even during long runs or in wet conditions.

On the sole, Merrell uses Vibram MegaGrip technology with 5 mm lugs in two complementary shapes to maximise traction: V-shaped lugs for propulsion and braking, and cross-shaped lugs for multidirectional grip. The setup performs well on dry and muddy terrain alike.

Whether you run short distances or tackle ultramarathons, this range is suitable for a wide variety of runners.

Does Merrell fit true to size?

To help you choose the right size, we provide detailed sizing guidance based on our expertise and customer feedback, available directly on each product page. These tips will help you avoid surprises during your first try-on.

For models in the Merrell Agility Peak range, it is generally recommended to go up half a size from your usual shoe size. This helps ensure optimal comfort, especially on long runs where your feet may swell slightly.
