On Wednesday the 2nd October we welcomed Southville Running Club to our shop for a Merrell demo evening to test the Agility Peak 5 on the trails of Victoria Park!

A big thank you to Kat and Tom from Merrell for bringing down so many shoes for us to test! Everyone who wanted to test the shoes got a pair and enjoyed the experience.

Merrell is a fairly well known brand in the outdoor and hiking space but their trail running shoes are less sought out. They have the resources and knowledge to make great trail running shoes though and have recently been making serious inroads into the market. One shoe in particular has stood out from the rest and that is the Agility Peak 5.

The Agility Peak 5 delivers a captivating fusion of cushion and performance in Merrell’s most popular trail running shoe.

The breathable engineered mesh and TPU upper, along with an SBR/mesh collar and tongue, offers a superior fit and lower water absorption. An external rear sling locks in the heel and the FloatPro™ Foam midsole is both lightweight and comfortable. The FLEXconnect® dual-directional flex-groves in the midsole and the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole with 5mm lugs enhance ground connection to ensure traction on any terrain.
