Broke In 60km

Bought at a good price and only able to hike the Camino in Spain after the warranty expired. Brand new, but no warranty, went on the hike. Third day, 60km after, the laces webbing came off. Really??? This is my first (and last). Now I have a paperweight.

The Shoe That Your Feet Have Been Dreaming Of

The most impressively comfortable and reliable shoe you will ever wear. I have struggled with comfortable footwear my entire life. Since college I have worn 15W or 16 (if 15W wasn't available), but no shoe has ever felt completely comfortable while allowing proper room for my toes. The Altra Lone Peak shoes are unmatched. Has a way more natural shape of the foot than other shoes, and the toe box creates the most comfortable space possible for your toes. Surpassed all of my expectations.

From A Non Runner - Love Em

And now for something completely different. My running days far behind me. 5' 11" and 280 with very wide feet. I have tried Brooks - Beast, New Balance, etc. This is the best fitting shoe i have had in ages. Fir when my wide Chacos are a no go i use these. I do a lot of field work on and around water and these have been great. Tl;dr great even for the non runner

I'm A Daily Rucker And A Raving Fan Of These Shoes!

I wear these rucking 15-20 miles every week and am ordering my second pair after a year so I can start breaking them in. Love them!

Excellent Customer Service!

My Lone Peak 4's blew out after 1 week on Vermont's Long Trail. I was not happy! Altra customer service sent a new pair of LP 5's out immediately. Only problem was that they would not send to a post office on my route. I ended up buying a different pair of shoes to continue the LT. I started using the new LP5's as bike packing shoes this summer. So far they are holding up great! I find the design of these to be a good improvement over the LP4's.

Want To Try Other Altra Products Too, But Yes.

Did a lot of up and downs. mainly on road but also some on trail and switching to zero drop was the right choice. It of course need to be done in steps, but I do believe I am physically better because of it. These LP5 lasted me for a year. I ran 1500km this last year (a bit more than 900 miles) If I'd force myself I could still get out more but it's about time to switch. Starting next month I'll try out the Olympus 5, because why not. Downside with these shoes? I had none besides maybe the design and if you are in the situation of muddy rocks slippage - not quite sure how well other should would be able to cope with that though.. The wide toe box is great. With improper lacing the downhill sometimes gave some slipping - user error. Very satisfied and would buy the LP6 but don't know the Altra lineup enough so going to try the Olympus next. Altra, great job on delivering a shoe that delivers.

Very Comfortable, Durability An Issue.

I've had the Lone Peak 5, my first pair of Altra shoes, for two months and I've worn them for normal everyday activities for about 35-40 of those days. Nothing strenuous, just walking and a few brief jogs. The soft heel with rugged tread is great for comfortability, and the exterior of the shoe has held up great. They do run a bit wide, but the main issue with these Altra shoes for me is that the right heel is already deteriorating (i.e. the threads of the interior fabric are already splitting) after such little use; durability and craftsmanship are a big concern for more aggressive activities that require rugged performance. I wanted to test out these shoes before taking them on a month-long backpacking trip, and I wish I was more thrilled with the results. I'm not sure I'll be taking these with me. Other features of the shoe are truly great. This is why I give the product 3 stars instead of 2. I am going to file a warranty claim with Altra and see what happens. If you are going to spend $100 or more on a pair of trail running shoes, my recommendation would be to find something more durable. I know there are a lot of people who love these shoes, so I'm wondering if I just received a defective pair.

I Wear Them Everyday!

This is my 2nd pair of the Altra Lone Peak 5 Hiking Shoes. I wear them everyday. Weather at home, work or on the trail they have been by far my best shoes. They are light, durable and very comfortable.

Lone Peak 5: The Last Of A Great Line Of Lone Peaks Imo.

I've owned the 3, 3.5, 4 and now I now own three 5s. I did this not because I think the 5s are the best. I did this because Altra removed the gaiter ring at the base of the laces in the 6s. Now you hook your gaiter clip to the laces. Oddly the gaiter ring remains on the Olympus, but it appears there's no Velcro tab on the Olympus. What's up with that? My favorite Lone Peak was the 4. It's wider in the toes, the heel pull is slightly more substantial, but the 5s have a slightly larger Velcro tab and a tongue pull (which is worthless because it's too small). I strictly buy these shoes because they're designed to attach a gaiter. The toe box is the second reason. Sorry Altra you blew it in regard to the Lone Peak 6 and lost a customer, until you figure out how special the previous versions were, specifically the 4s

Great Performance But Can't Handle "All Types Of Trails"

The shoes are light, good traction and perform well but with less than 2 months of use it's already falling apart. Very disappointed with low durability. Misleading marketing.

Light Weight And Sturdy

Got them for the lost city trek in Columbia and for rim to rim Grand Canyon trek. Wanted light weight trail shoes rather then heavy boots. They feel great and wide width. Can’t Wait to take them on the trail!

Fits My Foot So Well

I bought these in the last month or so and abused them in Big Sur, CA. They have held up well and didn't give me any blisters! I have wide feet with high arches and these were perfect: super roomy and comfy.

My 5th Pair Of Altra's Lone Peak Shoe

This is about my 5th pair of Altra's Lone Peak shoe. I have low back issues and the design and balance of this shoe really help to relieve low back stress and pain.

Very Comfortable Shoes

I bought these shoes a few weeks ago. They are my first pair of zero drop shoes. I have some barefoot shoes that I love, but they don't have a sole for very rocky terrain. I bought the Lone Peak for that reason. So far I find them very comfortable.

Awesome Shoes! Must Buy For Hiking!

I switched from heavy hiking boots to these trail runners and WOW--what a difference! The fit and comfort is sooo much better and I will never go back to boots let alone any other brand. I love how much space you have while not being over the top. I also love the fact that they dry out soooo quick! They're super grippy, too. What a great purchase if you're in the market for trail runners or hiking shoes!
