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!

 Very similar fit and width in the toe, but it does have a slightly softer midsole and we've got a full Vibram mega grip outsole on that shoe as well. So looking forward to getting my feet in them and giving them a thorough testing. I'd say if you're looking for that workhorse trail running shoe that's going to cross over to lots of different distances and different types of terrain and you like having that nice roomy sort of feel in the toe box of your shoes where your feet can stay relaxed and splay. Or you've always struggled for width in your trail running shoes and you feel you need a bit more space

 Really hope you enjoyed it Guys, hope you found it Helpful if you did. give us a big thumbs up. It really helps the channel out. And don't forget to subscribe to the channel

 These features are there to make sure you feel dialed down into the midfoot of the shoe locked into the back end of that shoe so that you feel super secure so no lateral movement while you're running out on the trails. Inside that upper, in the tongue, you've got a nice level of padding and a nice level of padding around that heel collar and in the heel cup. And if you like running with gators on your trail shoes, topo have worked in some really handy attachments into the upper of the shoe. So that's a few details about the spec, but also the construction of the midsole and the upper in the Ultra Adventure 2

 The shoe is available in one colorway for men and for women and when it comes down to size, I would say it's true to size with a very good width in the toe box. Moving on to the construction of the Ultraventure 2 and it features this three piece injected Eva midsole to offer the runner a nice lightweight, cushioned and responsive ride. The outsole of the shoe is coated in Vibram's Xs Trek Evo rubber and then we've got this nice evenly spaced, aggressive lug on that outsole to give you good levels of traction while running out on technical trails. moving up to the upper in the shoe and is constructed using this lightweight and breathable engineered mesh fabric

TOPO ATHLETIC ULTRAVENTURE 2 | Best Trail Running Shoes | Run4Adventure

 The cost: 135, which I think is pretty fair. I think up five bucks from the Ultraventure one. And yeah, all right, so I'm going to get into it with the upper midsole, outsole some of the takeaway points and comparisons, and close it out. So starting with the upper so the upper, they use an engineered mesh material

 Some of the other brands that have come out I've used an engineered knit, the North Face that we most recently reviewed. I'm Wear Testing A Salomon Cross Pro right now also uses an engineered knit. This is more of an engineered mesh thin, breathable. Nice difference between the Ultraventure 1 and the Ultraventure 2

 Ultra tends to swoop a little bit harder right around the big toe, but you lose a little bit in clipping off your second or third toe impact there. Probably the closest match would be the Saucony Mad River, a shoe that I also I like the Mad River one more than the two, but also has a fairly similar toe box design and shape so it just tends to work. I think with a lot of feet, natural motion feels fairly light. under the foot has a good blend of cushioning as well as protection underfoot, and the lower heel to toe angles just make it a little bit more efficient

 Let us know what you think if you get a pair, how it wears, and um, if I have any issues with it longer term with only 100 miles. I don't really have any durability issues so far. a couple of static nicks here and there, but it's holding up just fine. Outsole rubber
