Merrell Agility Peak 5 Trail Running Shoe - Women's Adobe Rose, 9.0

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I ran a technical singletrack loop in the Agility Peak 5 that mixed loose rock, rooted sections, and some muddy low spots, and the Vibram MegaGrip outsole held its ground through all of it. The FloatPro midsole kept my legs feeling surprisingly good on the descent, which is usually where I start to feel the wear on a longer effort."The Merrell Agility Peak 5 Shoe carries a lot of trail miles in its lineage, and this generation sheds weight and sharpens performance without losing any of the dependability that made the Peak series a go-to for trail runners at every level. The FloatPro foam midsole is the heart of the shoe, delivering a responsive and cushioned platform that balances energy return with enough protection to keep your legs moving forward through the back half of a long effort. FLEXconnect dual-directional flex grooves work with the natural movement of your foot to keep you connected to the ground on variable terrain, while a rock plate adds a layer of underfoot protection that lets you stop thinking about what you are landing on. The engineered mesh upper pulls in airflow and sheds water fast thanks to a mesh collar that resists soaking through on stream crossings or wet trail sections. A protective toe cap shields the front of your foot on technical ground, and an anti-odor treatment keeps things fresh through back-to-back training days. The Vibram MegaGrip outsole rounds out the package with multi-directional traction that bites reliably on wet rock, loose dirt, and everything in between.
