Our read

The BOA® variant of the Agility Peak 6 targets trail runners who want a dialed-in, micro-adjustable midfoot lockdown over aggressive terrain. With a substantial 38mm heel stack, 5mm Vibram Megagrip lugs, and an underfoot protective shield, it's positioned for long miles on technical, unpredictable trails. Evidence is largely manufacturer-sourced, so ride and durability claims should be treated cautiously until independent testing confirms them.

Ride

FloatPro foam delivers energy-return cushioning on a tall 38-30mm platform (8mm drop), while FLEXconnect flex-grooves aim to preserve ground connection. Firmness is not independently verified.

Fit

BOA® PerformFit Wrap provides a micro-adjustable, one-turn precision fit that locks the heel and wraps the midfoot; a bellows tongue helps keep out debris. Wide width is offered elsewhere in the line but not confirmed for this BOA variant.

Best for

Trail runners wanting secure BOA lockdown and cushioned protection for long, rugged, technical outings.

Avoid if

You want a waterproof shoe (choose the GORE-TEX version), prefer traditional laces, or need verified lightweight race-day performance.
