ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoe

I’ve been a fan of Altra’s for their wide toe box and zero drop shoes for years. I used to love the Superiors, but they redesigned them to be too narrow for my feet. When I switched to Lone Peak- they were still too narrow. Finally, I discovered that Lone Peak’s came in a wide width, and voila! Perfect fit, plus the aggressive tread is wonderful on all kinds of rock surfaces (much better than Superior and earlier Lone Peak versions). Wore them all over Utah on slick rock with no slipping. Bought 2 more pairs, because I’m worried Altra will redesign them and screw them up like Altra has with the Superiors.

I give 5 stars to products that meet or exceed my expectations. These do. I bought them on a Friday and the following day went for a 3 night backpack of the TCT on Catalina. This is a ridge following trail with lots of rock and ups and downs. These trail shoes performed extremely well. They are very close to zero drop, but not quite. They breath well, have excellent grip uphill and downhill. I usually take a 12 in trail shoes but ordered a 12.5 because I owned the original Lone Peaks which proved too short in my regular size. The reason: I have a Morton toe (longer middle toe than the rest). If you are looking for shoes with a broad toe box that lets your toes spread out, this is the pair. If you are looking for some volume above you toes, this is the pair. If you are looking for a shoe with a soft but tight fitting heel counter, this the pair. Very Lightweight. Great Backpacking trail shoes.

As a disc golfer, I was always trying to find a good pair of shoes with great traction and comfortable. Having size 13 extra wide feet, not an easy task. Friend of mine recommended Altras as they have a wide toe box. Got a pair of Lone Peak 7s a couple years ago and found that 12.5 wide is the perfect fit. The zero drop took a little getting used too but I must say, THE best pair of shoes I have ever had.Sadly, after 2 years of casual use, I was due for a new pair. I actually bought Lone Peak 9s but in 13 wide as that was all I could find. While nice, they were just a bit too long. Took them back and ordered these Lone Peak 8s in 12.5 wide."Like a glove!"The new best shoes I have ever worn for throwing some discs.Great traction, great color and very comfortable!The price is worth it!

Got these for an OCR and to have a nice trail shoe. The outsole has some solid rubber lugs and feel good to run in. They seem to run a little bigger than their running shoes tho, recommend going 1/2 size down

My son’s first pair of Altras and he’s never going back to another brand. The fit and comfort is superb and they hold up to his very active lifestyle. The foot shape feature is so important.

Well built shoe. The quality shows and I could see it lasting for a few years as opposed to some mainstream options. Great traction.

I stumbled across these shoes a couple years back while in colorado on vacation and this has been the only she I've worn since. (Lone peak) series. The shoe fits greatbi love the wide toe box. The only thing that makes me get a new shoe prior to the tread running out is my big toe usually rubbing a whole above it through the shoe. I have had my last 3 pairs do this. But that's all I can say against this shoe. I will still continue to wear these shoes. My suggestion is if you find one you like buy 2 pairs cause they make new models often of the lone peak and you may like the previous pairs. I personally like the 5 and 7 models. Hope this helps.

Beware of buying Altra products on Amazon, the company will not honor their one year warranty! I purchased a pair of Altra Lone Peak 8's and after very light use the insides of the shoes began to disintegrate. After contacting Altra and filing a claim they denied it because they said they were purchased from an "unauthorized retailer" even though this appeared to be the "Altra Store" on Amazon. Altra explained these are unauthorized third-party vendors selling their shoes on Amazon and they've been trying to get the "Altra Store" labeling changed for years because it, deceptively, makes people believe they're buying direct from the company. I'll never buy another Altra product from Amazon again. To their credit, Altra offered me a $75 giftcard in good faith even though they didn't have to. I have no idea if the products sold here are factory seconds or not but, considering how poorly they held up I think they might be.
