MERRELL AGILITY PEAK 5 [Men's]

Trail running shoes equipped with a high-performance thick sole unit.

The upper features a lightweight, breathable "high-performance engineered mesh with TPU reinforcement" for a neutral fit and stability. The midsole utilizes "FLOATPRO™" foam, a sustainable midsole that combines the contradictory qualities of lightweight and durable, with excellent rebound and cushioning. Additionally, an ESS foam rock plate is installed in the bottom three-quarters of the forefoot to counteract impacts from the ground, contributing to a sense of stability under the foot and promoting a smoother step. The outsole is a "Vibram MEGAGRIP x Vibram TRACTION LUG" outsole (5mm lug depth) that provides the highest level of grip on wet surfaces and rugged trails.

This model has been garnering numerous test impressions, with many saying it offers "high stability upon landing" by improving the risk of "shaky heel strikes" caused by the soft cushioning inherent to thick-soled shoes. Compared to the previous model, the Agility Peak 4, the upper has been updated for breathability, lightness, a softer fit (comfort), and grip. With a good balance of functionality, this is an all-around model that's perfect for any outdoor activity, as well as challenging long-distance trail races like 100km and 100mile races.

[Function/Material]

■ Engineered mesh x TPU reinforcement The upper is made of a high-performance mesh called "Engineered Mesh," which is loosely knit in areas that require high breathability and flexibility, and densely knit in areas that require increased support. It is then reinforced with TPU to improve stability.

■ Recycled shoelaces and webbing
Shoelaces and webbing made from 100% recycled materials.

■ Gaiter D-ring and heel Velcro: A D-ring for attaching the gaiter is located at the top of the toe, and Velcro is located at the heel.

■ Heel lock structure: A rear sling is placed to stabilize the heel even during long periods of use.

■ Toe cap: Rubber on the toe area protects your feet from external impacts.

■ Recycled mesh lining
Breathable mesh lining made from 100% recycled materials.

■ EVA insole: Lightweight and highly cushioned EVA foam insole.
■ Recycled mesh footbed cover with Cleansport NXT™ anti-odor treatment
Breathable mesh footbed cover made from 100% recycled materials and treated with Cleansport NXT™ odor resistance.

■ FLEXCONNECT™
The structure features assist lines running vertically and horizontally to smooth out foot flexion in all directions and make it easier to grip the ground.

■ ESS Rock Plate The forefoot side of the entire sole is equipped with an ESS foam rock plate that protects the sole and prevents impacts from the ground. It also contributes to a sense of stability on the sole of the foot.

■ FLOATPRO™ midsole: EVA foam that combines excellent cushioning with the contradictory qualities of lightness and durability. Lightweight yet resilient, it delivers long-lasting performance. To reduce environmental impact, it is manufactured using a "zero-waste" process and is made from easily recyclable TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) material.

■ Vibram MEGAGRIP outsole: This is one of the most high-performance compound grips from Vibram, the world-famous Italian sole manufacturer. It provides outstanding grip on wet surfaces and uneven terrain.

■ Vibram TRACTION LUG (Vibram Traction Lug) Lug shape Vibram's latest patented lug shape with fine protrusions provides better grip. The increased surface area increases stability and improves traction performance.
