Sapatilhas de trail AGILITY PEAK 6 GORE-TEX caqui/preto MERRELL

Used for hiking on wetter surfaces and performed well. Very comfortable.

I owned a pair of these shoes and the lace tightener broke off after about wearing a dozen times. This makes the shoes unusable.

These shoes look great and I wanted to love them, but when I tried them and walked around the house for a few minutes, my toes started to feel pressed on the sides. It didn’t feel like I needed a larger size, they just felt uncomfortable. I guess because they are GTX and the sides are reinforced, they are less flexible and push hard against the toes. I had to return them.

I replaced my Agility Peak 5 shoes with the same size Agility Peak 6, however, the fit is not the same. The Agility Peak 6 feel wider. I can overcome this by pulling the laces tighter but this somewhat puckers the shoe. In general, they feel comfortable and are waterproof which meets my needs for trail runs and day hikes.

The Agility Peak shoe is very light and very comfortable. I feel like I could stand or walk for a long time wearing these shoes. Having Gore - Tex makes it even better, you can wear it in any type of weather

Perfect shoe for trail running or an all-terrain waterproof sneaker. I also wear mine when I work on the grounds crew at a local golf course. No more morning dew making my socks wet for the whole day!

One big issue I have is the toe area. Everytime I take a step and lift my foot, it sounds and feels (on your toes) like plastic popping back in place. Luckily I use these for bike riding. But is annoying when I'm walking in them.

Why do you guys take a shoe that people love for several generations largely because of the fabled Merrell fit, and change it without warning to a completely different last that changes the volume in the toe box? There is only sizing fine print "True to size with secure run-ready fit." That described the Peak 5 for me, so it raised no alarms. It's looking like I will have to return these without even trying them outside to see if they will stretch any. The reinforcement at the bottom of the lace area makes it even worse by tightening down the restriction right where the foot has to flex. I would have to go to the absolute thinnest of socks to even make them bearable, and I can't even imagine wearing them for any length of time on a hot mountain day when after a couple of hours your foot will swell a bit. My climbing shoes are more comfortable than these and easier to get on. If you change the last, make a new model or option and keep the old one, or suggest a different option. At least put a wide option (not sure it would help) on the Goretex version and warn people.
