Altra Men's Lone Peak 8Sneaker

Absolutely great shoes for hiking or trail running, very comfortable and excellent material quality. I think I have owned these for over a year now and with daily walking they are still in great shape, a little wear on the tread but that is perfectly normal for the amount of walking I do.

I’ve been a big fan of Altra lone peak shoes for while now. I have size 15 UK feet which are also quite wide so finding shoes is extremely difficult for me. I have previously owned multiple pairs of lone peak 4s and now it’s getting increasingly difficult to get these so I decided to upgrade to these. I was not disappointed.These shoes are so comfortable I could wear them all day. They also really lightweight, which means that your feet and legs don’t ache after a long hike.I have never had a blister In any lone peak shoe and the same stands for these, Even when your feet are soaking wet.They have good grip and dry out really quickly. The quality is great and compared to the lone peak 4 Shoes where there was a weak point at the front where the mesh used to deteriorate, I am yet to find anything wrong with these so far.Definitely the best hiking shoe brand out there.

I bought these for everyday walking so I can't really assess them as trail running shoes. The main draw for me is the wide toebox. If you're not familiar with Altra you'll find that they have a little bit of a Donald Duck look to them because of this but you'll get used to it and no-one rolls around laughing. I have a bunion due to decades wearing cramped, cheap shoes and I wish I'd been wearing these all that time. Barefoot/minimalist purists may not like them as they have some cushioning and a bit of roll in the step but they are so, so comfortable. I had a pair from the same brand previously and wore them until the soles fell off. When that happened, I had to make do with a pair of cheap(-ish) walking shoes from Decathlon; the difference is like night and day. I hadn't realised quite how uncomfortable walking had become until I started with these.I chose the blue/black colour and it's as restrained as I hoped. The shoes look fairly smart at the moment though I expect they'll get mashed in the countryside.I hope and expect them to last well as the cost is not insignificant. My previous pair were only binned because of the soles: the uppers remained pretty much intact even after a number of years.Very happy with purchase and would buy again.EDIT: 3 months in and I have a small hole in the upper in the right foot above where the big toe sits. A little disappointing; the material is quite flimsy, it appears. Ideally, I suppose, the toe should sit under the reinforced toe of the shoe but, given the difference in foot size, these are the best fit for me. Nevermind: I've patched the hole inside with Gorilla tape to stop it getting bigger. It doesn't substantively change my opinion as most of my footwear ends up as much hole as shoe.

Great for walking, not just trail running. Good price for a quality product.

three months now mostly walking (15k per day) and some trail running. no discernable wear at all, compared to most lightweight trail running shoes. nearly a barefoot feel so some discomfort in foot muscles but great sensitivity. decent grip on most trails and ok (not the best) on wet rock. laces come undone constantly. wide fit trail running shoes are difficult to find (Hoka's are not true wide fit) so was glad these exist. but overall very happy.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever worn

I tried all the other Altra foot shape shoes.I thought why not, I’ll give these a blast.Well, they’re perfect.Gone to 11.5 from 11 and there has never been a comfier shoe on my feet.Well, vibram fivefingers perhaps.But for a “normal” shoe they’re amazing.

this specific year model compared to previous years has heat laminated toe cap protection that starts to delaminate after very little use and peels away. this is not even in a wear use area. i would recomend skipping this model as mentioned previous models are great and the first pair had a sewn toe cap and i have worn them to no grip on the sole with no issues in construted material use. gaynors as the seller does not seem to understand faulty materials in manufcature as i was refused a refund. after only having them less than the return window time frame not impressed they seem to have gone down hill as a bussiness wont be bying from them again. this after having bought from them for over 18 years so dissapointed.
