Mens running shoes Merrell AGILITY PEAK 5 GTX black
The Merrell AGILITY PEAK 5 GTX men's running shoes are designed for longer trails in the terrain. This new version of the Agility Peak model has an extended rock plate with a 3/4 coverage of the FloatPro® midsole. It is made of FLEXconnect™ technology from durable and lightweight EVA rubber, which, thanks to special two-way grooves, gives the shoes excellent agility, flexibility and stability on unpaved terrain. The Vibram® MegaGrip sole has high durability and reliable grip in both dry and wet conditions. The shoes have a reinforced toe for extra protection against trail hazards in the form of stones or branches.
The upper is durable, breathable and lined with mesh. A big advantage of the shoes is the waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, which prevents water, mud or snow from entering the shoes. Thanks to this, you can run even on cold, dry days.

GORE-TEX®
The GORE-TEX® membrane contains 1.4 million microscopic pores per square centimeter, which are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water and 700 times wider than a water vapor molecule. This ensures that the Gore-Tex® membrane is completely waterproof from the outside and permeable to sweat from the inside. The oil-repellent substances present in the membrane prevent the absorption of body substances.
Shoes with a GORE-TEX® membrane will keep your feet dry and at the right temperature in all weather conditions and provide perfect climate comfort. They are long-lasting waterproof, relatively breathable and protect the foot even in the most difficult conditions.

EVA
The name EVA stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate . It is a type of copolymer that combines the properties of plastic and rubber. Sports brands use this material in the form of foam, from which they make midsoles and sometimes insoles for shoes.
The widespread use of this foam is due to its excellent properties.
- lightness → one of the biggest advantages that affects the overall weight of the shoe
- shock absorption → cushions every step forward, which your knees will especially appreciate; it can absorb shocks from your steps and thus increases comfort when running and walking (even over longer distances)
- flexibility → EVA material is very flexible and elastic, allowing natural movement and adaptation to the foot
- durability →generally this material is resistant to cracking and wear, but of course after really long use it can easily get crushed
- thermal insulation → keeps the foot warm in cold weather, and in summer resists hot surfaces
- water resistance → the closed cell structure of EVA foam does not absorb water, so this material is also used in outdoor shoes
- affordability → compared to advanced cushioning materials, the production of EVA foam is relatively cheaper, which is also reflected in the resulting price of the shoe
