The Altra Lone Peak 6 is a staple shoe in the ultra distance and hiking community for a good reason. It is packed with 25mm of cushioning throughout the length of the midsole, with an extra-wide toe box that allows for a natural splay of the forefoot. This type of toebox space is great for helping to build the musculature in the sole of the foot and toes, which can aid in the healing of foot and toe issues. The upper offers breathability for hot days and dries quickly after a good dunk in a cool stream. This new iteration has an updated eyelet pattern, which allows this naturally wide shoe to be cinched to fit narrower feet. It hosts a 0mm drop, meaning this doesn't have additional support or cushioning in the heel. It is best for those that intend to strike the ground with the forefoot and not the heel. Altra has increased the durability of these shoes in the recent past, and it shows. It's our favorite for longer distances and the one we choose when there's a long fast pack or training day ahead. 
While we love this shoe, it's not for everybody. The zero-drop design takes some training to get used to. Since there is no extra cushioning in the heel to lift it, the rear chain of muscles in your body will have to work quite a bit harder, and you may feel a bit of strain on the Achilles tendon. With proper training, this can wane, but if you are new to the zero-drop game, this might not be the shoe you can buy and start running long distances in immediately. But for those seeking a cushioned, well-protected, and wide trail running shoe that gives you room to spread your toes, here it is.  

Switchback Travel

If you’re among the myriad trail runners who suffer from the pressure points, hot spots, and blisters resulting from ill-fitting shoes, this one’s for you. Popularized by the barefoot running movement, Altra’s zero-drop Lone Peak is arguably the most ergonomic and comfortable trail runner on the market. With a flat footbed and extra roomy toe box, the Lone Peak allows the foot to stay in its naturally flat and splayed position, which is great news for wide-footed runners or those with particularly finicky feet. We’ve recommended this shoe to dozens of friends and acquaintances who’ve struck out with more traditional shoes (including wide versions of models like the Hoka Speedgoat), and have yet to lead anyone astray.

The new Lone Peak 6 doesn’t venture far from previous models, but it does feature an updated upper and new lacing system for a more secure fit. This is good news for those with low-profile feet: Previous versions of the Lone Peak have been critiqued for being too roomy and thus unstable on rocky and rooty terrain. And true to its trail-worthy intentions, the Altra also features a rock plate, gaiter attachments, and drain ports both on the toe box and inside of the foot. But all praise aside, it’s important to keep in mind that the zero-drop design is not for everyone, and those accustomed to a more typical trail runner might find the Lone Peak rather sluggish. Finally, we haven't had great luck with the Lone Peak's durability, although the “6” features a more robust toe guard that should address many of the outgoing model’s delamination issues. See the Men's Altra Lone Peak 6  See the Women's Altra Lone Peak 6

**Altra Lone Peak 5:**  I had the 3.5 for years and loved them, but I finally upgraded last month.  I had to size down half a size.  I don’t know if that’s because of some changes to the shoe itself or because stuffing my feet into climbing shoes has shrunk my feet

  The shoes were still a bit looser than I would have liked, and I ended up with blisters on the outsides of each big toe.  I really only run into issues with the shoes on rocky downhills where my feet may slip off of rocks.  I don’t know if it feels sloppy because of the width or because of some feature of the shoe.  The traction is still decent and aside from the fit, it’s everything I want in a shoe

  I usually get a couple of years out of my shoes, so I'm concerned about durability of the A.L.P. 6 

Oh, by the way, they do look goofy with the WIDE toe-box area, but that's how some feet are made. I'll take comfort over fashion any day. 4 stars

 However, the tradeoff is that my feet do NOT ache at the end of the day of wearing the A.L.P. 6

Comfortable for WIDE feet

	Compared to the Ultraventure 1, the MTN Racer is a bit lighter, firmer, and fits more snugly in the toes and midfoot while heel fit is the same. Users have been advised to size up half a size for the MTN Racer if they wish to have a fit similar to the Ultraventure. I felt that the Ultraventure’s cushioning sometimes bottomed out on large sharp objects, which happened to a lesser extent in the MTN Racer. I prefer the MTN Racer over the Ultraventure for the lighter weight, Megagrip outsole, and firmer cushioning

 Topo could update their EVA formula or use their new ZipFoam that they’re using in some of their other shoes like the Ultrafly 3, Cyclone, and Ultraventure Pro. Another area of improvement is weight.

 Topo could update the upper with what they’re using for the Runventure 3 or with the Engineered mesh from their road shoes and newer Ultraventure 2. I thought the midsole flattened a bit early compared to say Brooks’ BioMoGo used in their Caldera.

 They are not waterproof and do allow airflow. But not nearly enough, especially when compared to the material found on the Altra Riveria Street or Topo Terraventure 3. 

Hot feet

I've been fine with older versions of Altra Lone Peak mids (waterproof and windproof), for cold and dry conditions Altra Olympus (high stack insulates well from the cold, but surprisingly airy uppers). Do like my sandals too though.

I've been backpacking in zero drop minimalist shoes for the last 8 years but have never done any serious backpacking or hiking in the winter snow. I'm moving to SLC and want to start enjoying the wilderness in the winter but also be safe about my feet. I really don't like wearing boots (or shoes)  with an elevated heel or much structure but I realize I will probably need that for snowshoes and not getting wet and frostbite!
I've backpacked in VFFs, bedrock sandals in shoulder seasons so I have robust feet,  but that was in the Appalachian's. Please send me some recommendations!
Thanks!!

Recommend me some zero or low drop winter backpacking/hiking boots for snow. (I don't like wearing shoes but I know I'll need them!)

I don’t care about waterproofness. Feet sweat and get wet. I just need them to dry when I take them off

 I tried a size 14 in these but sizing up made the shoe too wide and the toe box was so large my feet were moving side to side. Even doubling socks didn’t help - I also hate doing that.

r/Ultralight - The Purchase Advice Thread - Week of June 07, 2021

A specific thing I love is the laces. They're textured and therefor don't require tight knots to keep in place. 

I really like the aesthetic look as well, the green ones, which I have, have a  topographical pattern which is super neat. They also just hold their shape better, if that makes sense. 

Anyways, since I only recently got the 6's and have used them on maybe 25-30 miles of trail so far, all I can say is they are COMFORTABLE. Usually I go through a love/hate period with Altra's where they don't fit right or I have to replace them into different patterns to get them right. But the 6's felt perfect from the moment I wore them. 

Great shoes with minimal changes from past success

, but I would have hoped the design of these shoes would have prevented that.  Durability--after two weeks including the admittedly hard use on the trail for three days, some of the plasticized outside "skeleton" had already started peeling away from the mesh.  I brought my pair in and the salesperson said that was unusual, so I exchanged them for an identical pair.  I hope these ones do better

Pros and cons

 I contacted the company and inquired about a warranty. They worked with me and I had a replacement shipped super fast! It was an amazing experience, I’d order again in a heartbeat.

Great Service!

Altra Lone Peak 6 | Blister Review

Upgrade Pick

While the comfort and support of maximally cushioned shoes are great, all of that padding can have some serious consequences for stability and agility &mdash; two key aspects for mountain runners in particular. HOKA must have been listening to complaints, and their answer is the HOKA Torrent 2 &mdash; a stripped-down version of their traditional ultra-running platform that is one of those magical trail shoes. Designers cut the stack height to a more reasonable 23mm in the heel but maintained all of the comfort and support HOKA is known and loved for. The result is a highly responsive, surprisingly agile, yet supremely cushioned trail runner that weighs as much as a minimalist, zero-drop shoe.
There are only a few downsides to this shoe, and they all generally relate to those issues inherent with other maximally cushioned shoes. While the decrease in stack height improves stability, the dense foam in the midsole cuts out a substantial amount of ground sensitivity &mdash; a positive for long-distance runners but more of an issue for technical alpine trails. The relatively wide last and shorter heel pocket also makes for a less-than-stable experience when sidehilling or running in off-camber terrain, which again affects the performance of this shoe only in certain circumstances. Our biggest fear is that the durability of the outsole rubber, in particular, may not hold up to as many regular long-distance outings as other ultra-running options on the market. But considering the price point of this top-performing shoe, it may be more than worth lacing up in the Torrent 2 at the starting line of your next ultra-marathon.

Settled with the Hoka Torrent 2, cushion still feels great but more stable (lower stack) than the ATRs and relatively lightweight. They're not the most rugged but work well for hard packed trails with some trees and rocks that are around here. I would have liked to try to Nike trail shoes or the New Balance Hierro but nowhere he has them.

Hi all I’m looking for a pair of trail shoes for hard/dry trails. I live around lots of fields and farmland and as the weather is drying up, the mud has too and I’m feeling pains in my legs which I think may be to do with running in soft, road shoes on harder, jagged trails. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for trail shoes? I’d like them to be comfy but also supportive and I’m not interested about going fast. 

TIA

Trail shoes

 It is still pretty lightweight. 9.1 ounces isn't the lightest shoe, but for a trail shoe that does make it pretty light. Uh, and I do feel like there is like a nimbleness to it that I really enjoy

 I know I've been hearing from a lot of you guys who have been enjoying this shoe as well and I think that you guys are enjoying it, but there might be some of you who either have questions or completely disagree and I'd love to hear from you guys too down in the comments, but down below, let's keep the conversation going down there. That's all I have for today everybody. Thanks so much for making it all the way to the end of the video. Hopefully you guys are staying safe out there on your runs and I'll see you in the next one

 I really like how soft it is and the rubber outsole is. You know it's a rubber outsole so it's definitely going to hold up really well. I'm not seeing any like uneven wear or anything like that in the shoe. Uh, so really impressed with the way that these lugs are able to hold up over time

 I feel like I can get up through them really easily. In terms of how it's holding up, I feel like the pro fly midsole is still feels pretty cushy. I really like how soft it is and the rubber outsole is. You know it's a rubber outsole so it's definitely going to hold up really well

Hoka Torrent 2 - After 100 Miles

 Seems though that Sense Ride 4 and the Ultra Glide might be a bit more cushioned. VJ Ultra is also getting good reviews, but they are quite expensive.

Hey All,

I was hoping one you shoe geeks could recommend be a good trail runner for some long miles, more specifically a 100 miler I'm training for.

I'm looking for something with a fair amount of cushion that will help my feet, legs and back feel a little less achy

For my last long race, 50 miler, I trained and raced in entirely 1 shoe: NB GOBI V3. - that I have loved but found to not have enough cushion.

I have recently bought Sacony Peregrine 10 ST and found them to heavy and not quite as cushioned as I would have hopped.

I've been looking at Altra Lone Peak's or Timps but don't want to swap to a zero drop mid tranning. Hoka One One has soon good cushioned shoes as well but I'm not trying to spend more than  $120 on a shoe.

I'm super picky about shoes but any suggestion would be appreciated!
