  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « The Agility Peak 5 from Merrell builds on its predecessor's success, offering key updates. We found the latest version lighter and more stable, especially with its improved Vibram Megagrip outsole and strategic lug design. The nearly 40-mm stack height offers exceptional muscle protection, making it ideal for diverse trail challenges. While it excels in cushioning and comfort, we still see room for improvement, particularly in reducing weight and refining the design for forefoot and midfoot strikers. »
