Just received them today and they were comfortable the minute I put them on! Lightweight and very "springy." I got the white/multi and just love the colors. I wear a size 7 and these are a little snug but they'll stretch a bit -- going up 1/2 size would have been too big for me. However, depending on what socks you wear you may have to go up a 1/2 size or more. The only thing I don't like is that the inner "tongue" isn't loose on the sides -- it's affixed inside the shoe at each corner of the tongue. So, for someone like me with high instep I had to really loosen the laces and wiggle to get in. But I figured it out and made it work.

These just arrived and as soon as I slipped them on I knew they were going to be great. There is good arch support and heel cushioning. I think the footbed is helping to prevent pronation. They have a Vibram Megagrip sole so I feel confident wearing them. Got them on sale (a plus) and I love the color. I purchased the silver/pomelo color choice in a size 11. There’s plenty of room for a thicker sock. Walking around with size 11 feet, you seek out shoes that are flattering and don’t look huge. These are both. Overall these Agility Peak 5 shoes are sure to be a favorite going forward.

I received my shoes right before camping and taking two hikes in the Ruby Mountains outside of Elko, Nevada. I was so very pleased to have them on these technical hikes!We walked over boulders, across streams, through shallow mud, and then over mostly packed snow; my Agility Peak 5’s got a thorough test and passed with flying colors! I never once slipped or lost my footing, didn’t need my regular shoe inserts, and my feet were comfortable every step of the way.I also appreciated the rubber edge that took the scrapes (but doesn’t show it) instead of the fabric on the side of the shoes, that’s durability built in. My husband’s running shoes didn’t fare so well and were very ragged afterward.I normally wear a size 8, but bought these in an 8.5 so that I can wear ... MoreI received my shoes right before camping and taking two hikes in the Ruby Mountains outside of Elko, Nevada.

I just returned home from a trip to Europe. I wanted to bring one sneaker that I could wear the whole trip and was functional but also cute with dresses, pants, etc. I brought these and they were great! I wore these to walk around London all day, to walk over the uneven cobblestones in Bruges, and up a mountain trail to a glacier in Norway. They were ridiculously comfortable and looked good too- got many compliments. I have a difficult foot to fit and shoes a lot of people like don’t always work for me. But these I would for sure order again. I found them true to size- they seemed a bit big at first, but after wearing them all day made me glad I got my usual size 10. I got the white with the pink/orange bottom. Give these a shot- you won’t be disappointed !
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
I personally do not find these very comfortable. I generally wear flatter shoes. I bought these for an upcoming trip where I will be trekking a portion of the Santiago de Compostela and wanted to make sure I had good footwear. I've been breaking them in for 2 - 3 weeks, just going for shorter 3 mile walks each day and they haven't gotten any more comfortable really. The base of the shoe just seems like it is too much. If you are used to a shoe that has a chunkier base than this shoe might be for you, but if you're a person with flat feet or wears flatter shoes during workouts or hiking, this shoe is probably uncomfortable for you.
Bought for serious trail running but other chronic injuries have precluded too many miles there… for the moment…but I have worn them for hiking many, many miles, outdoor cycling, walking for days on trips, a couple of indoor/outdoor workouts, some shorter (3-5 mile easier trail runs) and they are my favorite running shoes of all time.I have higher arches that always require a custom orthotic-not needed for these. Narrow heel, narrower than average, low volume feet just love these shoes. Grip has been excellent on every type of terrain but haven’t tried snow. LOL. So stable, excellent cushion while still providing firm support. I was worried the thin tongue would bother my low volume feet but nope, with decent hiking or running socks they are totally fine.

Now I must decide-buy a back up pair or see if somehow the next version is even better? Merrell for hiking boots, trail runners, and hiking sandals. One of my absolute favorite brands for my goofy feet. Comfort and fit are my primary concerns these days but hey, they also look very cool.
I bought this shoe and it arrived over the weekend. Originally, I wanted something waterproof as I purchased the goretex since I will be wearing these commuting to work in the winter, and definitely needed a shoe with overall great cushioning as I am having foot pain. The shoes were amazing, I wore them all day over the weekend with no pain on the ball of my foot. So far I've worn them to commute to work twice, since I have a fairly long distance to travel by foot after the train to work, and they have been so comfortable. I haven't had a chance to try them in wet weather yet, but am looking forward to it. Got my regular sizing in Merrell, and even with a thicker sock, it's perfect.
Just returned from a 2 week national park tour vacation. We hiked a total of 86 miles in 11 different parks. These shoes are by far the best hiking/walking shoe I have ever owned. Our longest hike was 12 miles. I am prone to blisters and sore feet…I had neither! I even hiked thru a creek at glacier national park and walked a few miles in them afterwards and they never bothered my feet. If you need a shoe with more an ankle support these will not be for you, but if you are looking for all day comfort, they are! We did moderate hikes, nothing real crazy. The tread works great when hiking on rocky surfaces. I bought the size (9.5) I typically wear and they worked perfectly. They were also easy to clean up when I returned.
My Agility peak 4's have been a lifesaver- they accommodate my orthotic and helped me get moving again after toe surgery. No other Merrells have worked for me- usually due to ankle discomfort and tight toebox. I really wanted black so was thrilled to see Agility peak 5 in black (ish). But why oh why keep the name and dramatically change the shoe!! The heel now has a very course lining instead of smoothe- almost like a brillo pad so you have to wear thick socks. The toe box is now tighter. and the insole is firmly glued in so you can't put in your own orthotic. So frustrated!
