AnkleBreaker 5000's
Look, these are good shoes. I think the lightweight, comfortable liner and stiff foam could make for a really great mud or gravel shoe. But Merrell decided to make a lightweight "trail" running shoe with little to no ankle support and a stiff bottom in lieu of actually making a shoe built for running on variable surfaces that make change up that angle of your foot at a moment's notice. These are not built to protect your foot, but they are built to go fast. I would say, if you are looking for a shoe with ridiculous lug length, grip beyond measure, and a stiff sole that will rebound you through the finish line of a muddy or gravel race, you can certainly buy these. But if you run mountain marathons, if you're heading up and down rugged, ragged terrain full of jagged rocks, you are not gonna enjoy this. Or maybe I just have soft ankles. Having ran a few ultra-marathons in Brooks Cascadia 17's and Altra Lone Peak 7's, both on opposite ends of the spectrum of padding, somehow this shoe goes over the line to become the worlds stiffest trail runner on record. Would not recommend for your next mountain-pass race. TLDR; Fun, bouncy but stiff road running shoe that has the grip for trail but the ankle support of a feather in a hurricane. Fine for mud and gravel.

Torn, so much potential. Read Full Review
This is a review for the Agility Peak 5s and not all of Merrell’s products. I love Merrell’s footwear and they have always exceeded expectations of comfort, durability, and quality. However, while every other product I’ve gotten from them has been exceptional unfortunately the Agility Peak 5s have let me down. Comfort, fit, grip, feel, and performance were all great and if it was just those I was basing this rating on then it would get 5 stars. However, the eyelets on these shoes are not durable. I have taken them on several backpacking trips, day hikes, and the rim-to-rim in GCNP. But, total I’ve maybe put ~70 miles on these and to have the eyelets ripping through the way they are already is a huge bummer. We’ll see if they’ll even make it to 100 miles before fully ripping through. Bottom line if it wasn’t for the low quality of the eyelets I would 100% recommended these and give them 5 stars. But, until the durability issues are fixed and resolved I just can’t recommend them. All my other Merrell’s have held up for years but these unfortunately have fallen short. Please fix this issue in newer versions Merrell!

Shoe
The shoe is good, biggest issue is after just a couple uses the eyelits for the laces are stretching and hard to say if there’s much life in them before they rip.

Great choice for a big trip
Great on uneven terrain in plitvice lakes national park Croatia. Wore them right out of the box for this trip with no issues. Light, packable and look good.

So comfy!
These fit so well! Right out of the box they were comfortable. I got a lot of compliments on them too! I work at a summer camp so I walk around a lot on differing terrains.
