Lone Peak 6 - Altra Running

Comfort, meet adventure. Protective and weather-resistant, lightweight and fast or versatile, find the right hiking shoe for you.Comfort is a subjective thing that has a lot to do with fit, body type, and the specific types of hiking you do. The Lone Peak's roomy toe box, moderate cushioning, and minimal support works for many hikers. When it works for you, the Lone Peak can feel like your favorite slipper with trail traction. For others, though, that big toe box may be uncomfortable or feel sloppy on technial terrain. Personally, I found the Lone Peak pretty comfortable on easier trails but not on steeper, tougher trails. That being said, plenty of people absolutely love that comparatively loose fit and max toe room. Don’t let a few looming clouds keep you off the trails. With the Lone Peak ALL-WTHR Mid 2, you can set out for a hike no matter the forecast. Water-resistant, lightweight bootie construction protects you from the elements, with the same legendary comfort you know and love from the Lone Peak Family. Roomy Original FootShape™ Fit, responsive Altra EGO™ midsole foam, and a grippy MaxTrac™ outsole keep you moving all day. Bag that adventure, even if there are a few raindrops! I'm all about those roomy toe boxes, but not all about the zero drop. (For what it's worth, the podiatrist who trained me in hiking footwear had the same take on Altra trail running shoes.) Sadly, I quit hiking in my Lone Peaks after my second calf strain in fifty miles—after zero calf strains in my previous 10,000 miles in other brands (and none in 3000 Altra-free miles since). Some of my customers, co-workers, and friends have had more serious issues in the Altra Lone Peak, including injuries such as stress fractures, broken ankles, and ruptures Achilles tendons. Altra Lone Peak All-WHTR Mid 2 are a lightweight water resistant boot perfect for fast moving hiking and trail running, whatever the weather. Altra says: Mid-height collar and eVent upper do a great job sealing out the elements while still allowing the shoe to breathe better than much of the waterproof competition.

Altra Lone Peak All-WHTR Mid 2 are a lightweight water resistant boot perfect for fast moving hiking and trail running, whatever the weather. You’ll be hard pressed to find a mid-sized shoe as lightweight as these. The pair I have are quite a few ounces lighter than my previous mid-sized shoes from Keen and are only marginally heavier that the Salomon trail runners I used on the Appalachian Trail. Still, compared to most trail runners these shoes will still be a great deal heavier. For example, my pair of NeoShell Mids are nearly a half pound heavier than my regular low-cut Lone Peak 3.0’s. Even so, if you’re looking for a compromise between weight and ankle support than these shoes are one’s to keep your eye on. CONS Midsole Comfort
