Description
The Altra Men's Lone Peak 8 is a zero-drop trail running shoe that is good for hiking and running across a wide range of conditions. It has a flatter geometry, relatively flexible forefoot, good traction, and a comfortable yet supportive upper. The shoe has grippy 5 mm multi-directional lugs with a rock plate and a rubber toe kick for protection, with well-draining mesh uppers that prevent sand and trail grit from entering.
Pros:
- Wide, comfortable toebox
- Forefoot rock plate
- Deep 5mm lugs for traction
- Responsive midsole
- Natural barefoot feeling ride
- Breathable and durable ripstop upper mesh
- Dries quickly
Things to consider:
- On the heavier side versus some alternatives
- Not as durable as heavier hikers
- Zero drop is primarily for movement, not ideal for standing still for extended periods.
- The Maxtrac outsole, while excellent in terms of its durability and traction, isn't made by Vibram.
