Out of the box comfy! I normally wear a 7.5 or 8. I bought an 8 and it’s perfect! My foot is slim and I have a little wiggle room in the toe box and snug fit for my heal. The tongue is attached so it can’t slide over, yippie! I have worn Merrell for many years and normally they have a harder feel but these are a little more padded underfoot. Very comfortable. My body weight is mostly between the pad of the foot to the heal. I have a high arch and the Peak 6 feels great. Toes are almost up in the air so it feels great walking in them. Super strong grip on the road, I won’t slipping. I’m very happy! Oh, also have good air ventilation for the toes!!! If you have a wide foot it may be best to size up half size.
I absolutely love these trail runners. I have worn them in a variety of terrain and they have surpassed my expectations. Great right out of the box. The grip and spacious toe box are highlights.
These shoes feel amazing on my feet! They are so lightweight, which was my main reason for choosing these after my recent knee surgery. The fit is perfect and comfortable right out of the box. I am not a runner, but do walk/hike. The Mega-grip Vibram soles are impressive so far and seem to be quite a step up from the Vibram soles on the Moab 2 Vents. I have wider feet and was a little concerned about how they would fit at first. They fit like a glove without feeling overly narrow. Although I wish they came in better colors, I can certainly overlook that much in exchange for the weight, comfort, grip, and breathability. They seem well made and I would definitely recommend these.
This is the shoe I reach for always! Increased support and comfort from the long sky 2, while keeping the agility, light weight and speed. Also all the colour options are amazing. Recently gifted these to a friend who is about to hike the west coast trail (the goretex version) Super versatile. Really pleased.
I love running smooth to rocky trails in this shoe! I can run in it daily without any blisters or sore feet. The cushion is great for big days out on the trail! The Vibram traction and lugs make it great for slippery trails too.
I just ordered my 4th pair of these. I love them and have completed several trail events ranging from 1/1 marathon distance to 50k wearing them. I even wore them when I ran the Chicago marathon last October, Honolulu Marathon in December and the Rock and Roll half marathon in Vegas in February- they were great on pavement too. I go through shoes pretty quickly, but these hold up well especially if you’re not a wrecking crew with your shoes, which I admit is a good description of me. I highly recommend them.
Beautiful shoes , good traction . Easy to put on and off.
I'm 78 and have been walking back streets, uneven ground (no curbs - just dirt/gravel/small potholes, etc) since COVID years, and this new Agility Peak gets my best thumbs up ever. They're balanced, have that roomy toe area, and grasp the ground with a security that feels like a step up from the "5". Thanks Merrell crew!
These shoes met all of my needs and surpassed my expectations. When using them on the trails in utah the fit never wavered. Going from rocks to mud to dirt, they did amazing.
I love these shoes. Very supportive and still cushioned. I find them more comfortable than the Hokas and Brooks shoes that I have.
