Great fit with one big drawback.
Usual great Merrell fit and comfort along with consistent sizing. One major drawback though is you can't remove the insole, it's glued in place. Tried to carefully remove it but was worried I would damage the shoe or have pieces of the insole still stuck to it so I left it in place. I'll still use them but won't buy again.

Work Horse
I’m 6’ 200lbs, break in run 11miles. Snug & vented upper, feet stayed cool, cushion is just right, stable, rock plate+stack works great! Awesome shoes to get in training miles but light weight to race in.

The first pair I’ve ever hated
I love Merrell shoes and hiking boots. With that said, I really don’t like these. I bought these online when I knew I should’ve gone to the store. After 2 work outs I’ve determined that they just don’t fit me well. The arches in both feet hurt after just a few minutes. I didn’t pay close enough attention to the color. Seafoam green and purple is almost nauseating in person. I understand why they were discounted so much. This is the first pair that I’ve not liked, but I’ve also gone to the store and tried on all of the other pairs.

Love them
They fit perfect and comfortable right out of the box. No issues. They also look cool and fresh. I truly enjoy the ultra flexible bouncy soft bottom fit my needs perfectly.

AP5 - Awesome Shoe w/ a Few Areas for Improvement
I have around 50 miles on my pair, including the 24.5-mile, 2200+ feet second day of Moab Run the Rocks as well as a few runs in typical PNW terrain (roots, mud, etc.). The Good: This shoe is very comfortable and has good support, without an aftermarket insole, for my high arched feet. The toe box is generous but not sloppy, and the booty-like tongue system wraps the midfoot nicely. The midsole has nice rebound, and you don’t feel like you’re getting bogged down at toe-off like you do in mushier max cushion shoes. I think the rock plate helps with this while also providing plenty of protection, along with the rockered shape keeping you moving. However, there’s just enough ground feel to keep you in tune with the ground. The outsole uses Vibram Megagrip, which is always a plus, and the lug pattern works very well in mud. The Bad: The heel pocket seems too wide compared with the rest of the shoe. Even with a heel lock, it feels like I’m sort of floating in the heel. Lift isn’t the issue, but rather it’s a lack of lateral security. This is compounded by another issue, the narrow footprint of the shoe at ground level, particularly in the heel. I feel as though a few more millimeters of width in the heel where it hits the ground could make the aft part of the shoe feel more stable. I definitely feel more stable staying up toward the front of the shoe. If I get back on the heel, particularly in technical sections, it gets a little squirrelly. While the outsole is plenty grippy, the long, widely spaced lugs do mean less rubber meets the terrain on stuff like wet roots, so there are some limitations compared to a less aggressive lug pattern. Also, the front of the shoe could be a little more breathable, but YMMV. Overall this is a solid shoe that moves along very well. I am definitely enjoying them and still am figuring them out for my applications. The bad things I listed are in no way deal breakers, but I do feel a couple minor changes could make this shoe a true max cushion technical terrain beast. As it is, you can cruise up to moderate terrain for hours in total comfort.

Not as good as the 4s but still good.
I love the Agility Peak line but these aren't quite as good as the last version. The run bigger(longer) and seem to ha e a few touch points(likely because they are bigger) in the heel. I still like them but they don't have the glove-like feel of the last version. I love all the new color variants and the price was right but will be more of a walk around shoe than my goto trail shoe.
