Pros

  • Buy a single pair of Altra Lone Peaks. Zero drop. You'll love them.
  • I actually did a week in Hardangervidda last summer, and honestly, I ended up going with my trail runners (Altra Lone Peaks) plus waterproof socks. I looove the lightweight feel and how fast they dry, and it was such a relief just trompi...
  • I have wide feet too and I've switched to Altra Lone Peaks for hiking. The toe box is super roomy and they're comfy right out of the box. The wide toe box is honestly the best part and I find I’m way less likely to get blisters on longer...
  • i'm flat footed and I wear altra lone peaks (trail runners) with injinji trail socks
  • IMO, only the Lone Peaks have the truly forgiving toe box.

Cons

  • I have Lone Peaks that I've used for hiking and backpacking. One thing that I do not like is hiking on rocky terrain with them. For me, I feel like the sole is too soft for me and I feel every ridge and rocky point on the bottom of my foot.
  • Altra Lone Peaks used to be one of the most popular zero drop trail runners. They drained and dried quickly up through about the series 7. I cannot speak to the 9s. Very good traction. Very comfortable. The singular fault I have with the...
  • For myself, I developed plantar fasciitis from overly flexible shoes that allowed my feet to hyperextend (Altra Lone Peaks).
  • I love my altar lone peaks, but I do hear complaints about durability. Mine are zero drop with no additional insole, and even after 3 day 35 mile with lots of climbing, no leg ankle knee or back issues.
  • I'm not sure they are super supportive though... And the zero drop takes a little getting used to.

I actually did a week in Hardangervidda last summer, and honestly, I ended up going with my trail runners (Altra Lone Peaks) plus waterproof socks. I looove the lightweight feel and how fast they dry, and it was such a relief just tromping through streams without worrying about wet feet for days.

Altra Lone Peaks used to be one of the most popular zero drop trail runners. They drained and dried quickly up through about the series 7. I cannot speak to the 9s. Very good traction. Very comfortable. The singular fault I have with the brand is durability. They are great while they last, but they do not last as long as other shoes.

I have wide feet too and I've switched to Altra Lone Peaks for hiking. The toe box is super roomy and they're comfy right out of the box. The wide toe box is honestly the best part and I find I’m way less likely to get blisters on longer hikes.

I’m no pro, but Altra Lone Peaks are fantastic. I wear them in the trail and end up wearing them to work too because they are so comfortable.

They didn't hold up for as long as the Lone Peaks.
