I absolutely love these sneakers from the moment I put them on. I wear a 7 1/2 and that's what I ordered. Fits great. My feet are a little wide and I still had enough room in the footbed.

Good shoe. I was expecting a bit more wrap around the heel. I feel the ankle is too low and rocks and debris will get in easily.

I purchase these shoes online and when they arrived, I loved the way they felt on my feet and they felt really cushioned. I was looking forward to getting them out on the trail for a test but unfortunately I didn't like how my heel kept lifting while walking around the house. I tried a few different lace techniques but nothing seemed to help. I did read prior reviews that this happened with other people, but I still ordered in hopes that they would fit my feet better. Maybe if I would have sized down a half size, it would have been better. but I always size up for hiking to allow swelling. Had to sadly return

Got to demo the shoes on a very muddy run and they were amazing! Theyre very comfortable and were lightweight than I had expected. Great for messy trail runs and the color didnt drastically change after. Highly recommend!

They are pretty comfy, but my toe hit at the end and the sole just wasn't right for my foot width so I am returning.

I needed some new shoes so decided to try these. They are so comfortable! I wore them for a three day trip to Disneyland. My feet didnt hurt at the end of each day. It rained pretty hard one morning, but with wool socks, my feet were comfortable. The shoes dried quickly when it stopped raining.

I have around 50 miles on my pair, including the 24.5-mile, 2200+ feet second day of Moab Run the Rocks as well as a few runs in typical PNW terrain (roots, mud, etc.). The Good: This shoe is very comfortable and has good support, without an aftermarket insole, for my high arched feet. The toe box is generous but not sloppy, and the booty-like tongue system wraps the midfoot nicely. The midsole has nice rebound, and you don't feel like you're getting bogged down at toe-off like you do in mushier max cushion shoes. I think the rock plate helps with this while also providing plenty of protection, along with the rockered shape keeping you moving. However, there's just enough ground feel to keep you in tune with the ground. The outsole uses Vibram Megagrip, which is always a plus, and the lug pattern works very well in mud. The Bad: The heel pocket seems too wide compared with the rest of the shoe. Even with a heel lock, it feels like I'm sort of floating in the heel. Lift isn't the issue, but rather it's a lack of lateral security. This is compounded by another issue, the narrow footprint of the shoe at ground level, particularly in the heel. I feel as though a few more millimeters of width in the heel where it hits the ground could make the aft part of the shoe feel more stable. I definitely feel more stable staying up toward the front of the shoe. If I get back on the heel, particularly in technical sections, it gets a little squirrelly. While the outsole is plenty grippy, the long, widely spaced lugs do mean less rubber meets the terrain on stuff like wet roots, so there are some limitations compared to a less aggressive lug pattern. Also, the front of the shoe could be a little more breathable, but YMMV. Overall this is a solid shoe that moves along very well. I am definitely enjoying them and still am figuring them out for my applications. The bad things I listed are in no way deal breakers, but I do feel a couple minor changes could make this shoe a true max cushion technical terrain beast. As it is, you can cruise up to moderate terrain for hours in total comfort.

I love the Agility Peak line but these aren't quite as good as the last version. The run bigger(longer) and seem to ha e a few touch points(likely because they are bigger) in the heel. I still like them but they don't have the glove-like feel of the last version. I love all the new color variants and the price was right but will be more of a walk around shoe than my goto trail shoe.

I thought the bottom of the shoe cushioning was good as was the width and arch support. However, for some reason, the comfort for the big toe was not there. The fit rubbed. If that had been fine, I would have taken them for a long walk.

I got these for an upcoming vacation but when I took them out of the box, I had to wear them immediately! They are so cute and indescribably comfortable. Im not a trail runner but have grown to love merrells trail sneakers for any situation I need comfy shoes! Recommend for gym goers, vacation sneakers etc! Very breathable and true to size.

I'm a mailman and walk 6-10 miles a day 5-6 days a week. I've been carrying for 22 years and I go through shoes like a kid goes through a pack of gum. Something I need has got to be affordable and long lasting- these have done that so far.

These are an awesome pair of Merrells! The color is great and the uppers are soft and stretchy. The soles are a perfect mix of rigid and flexible, providing enough support without being too hard. They dont slip off my heels. I wore them out of the box all day sightseeing and my feet were tired but they didnt hurt. Great shoe!!!

This shoe is very good-looking. I immediately got compliments when I wore the shoe. While wearing the shoe I noticed how light it is and how cushy the sole is. It's also quite airy which helps in the hot Texas climate. The only reason I don't give this shoe a 5-star is that the foot support could be a bit stronger. I'm comparing this shoe to my Hoka shoes and they provide the support that I was expecting from the Agility Peak 5 pair.

I absolutely love these sneakers. They are so comfortable. They are great for walking around all day or going for a run. I love the colour. They are fun and bright. I usually have to break my sneakers in and get heel blisters. Fortunately I didnt have this issue with these.

Im really pleased with these trail running shoes. The colors are bright and fun, the fit is great, true to size, and the grips at the bottom really grasp the loose pieces on the trail and I feel stable and comfortable when running and walking. I like how the tongue doesnt move a whole lot when running and that the laces are plenty long for a good tie and knot. I didnt have to adjust them at all while running, which was super nice. I even wear them on errands and to my kids outdoor sporting events I love them so much.

Comfortable, light weight, well ventilated and good grip. Only gripe is they could be a little wider in the toe box.

The Merrell Agility Peak 5 certainly lived up to my hopes for it. I needed more cushioning especially in the heel area for pounding down long mountain descents and this shoe has delivered . The outsole has great grip on smooth rock and mud and the mesh upper breathes well while keeping out dirt and dust. It is built on a well thought out last, ensuring that your toes don't hit the end of the shoe on steep downhills .

These shoes have great potential- they are comfortable—EXCEPT—the tongue is thin, and cheap, and if it rubs against the foot, is literally I unbearable. Also, the shoe is very shallow and gets like I could walk right out if it. I’ve always heard people say how great Merrells are- I disagree.
