   Altra Men’s Lone Peak 7: Conquering the Trails in Comfort and Style
   I’m not going to lie, I’ve been through a lot of trail shoes. From clunky behemoths to minimalist nightmares, I’ve seen it all. But the Altra Lone Peak 7? This, my friends, is a game-changer. It’s like they took everything I love about trail running and distilled it into one perfect shoe.**First things first:** comfort. These shoes are like plush pillows for your feet, even after miles of gnarled roots and rocky ascents. The zero-drop platform and wide toe box let your toes splay naturally, preventing that cramped feeling at the end of a long run. And the Altra EGO™ midsole? It’s like running on a cloud of springy goodness, soaking up impact and keeping your legs feeling fresh.**But don’t let the comfort fool you.** These shoes are grippy beasts. The MaxTrac™ outsole digs into loose dirt, hugs wet rocks, and laughs in the face of mud. I’ve scrambled up scree fields and bombed down loose gravel slopes with unwavering confidence. The 5mm lugs are the perfect depth, providing traction without feeling clunky.**And the upper?** It’s a thing of beauty. The seamless, stitch-less construction is like a zweite Haut, disappearing around your foot and moving with you like a second skin. It’s breathable enough for summer sun and surprisingly water-resistant for those surprise puddles. Plus, it looks sharp. I’ve gotten compliments on these shoes from fellow trail runners and city slickers alike.**Sure, no shoe is perfect.** Some folks might find the wide toe box a bit roomy (though I love it for toe wiggle room on long runs). And the price tag might make some wince. But for me, the Lone Peak 7 is worth every penny. It’s an investment in your feet, your enjoyment of the trails, and your overall trail running experience.**So, if you’re looking for a trail shoe that’s comfortable, grippy, stylish, and built to last, look no further.** The Altra Lone Peak 7 is the real deal. It’s not just a shoe, it’s a trail running soulmate.**Five out of five stars, hands down.** Buy these shoes. Your feet will thank you.**P.S.** I almost forgot about the StoneGuard! This little rock plate is a lifesaver on technical trails, shielding your feet from those sneaky hidden stones. Just another thoughtful detail that makes the Lone Peak 7 such a winner.

   Comfortable shoes, but not very durable
   I use these almost exclusively for hiking. They are very comfortable with no break in period. I usually have hot feet, but these seem to breathe very well and keep my feet cooler. I prefer light colors for shoes for this reason (not a fan of the crazy vibrant or dark colors on most Altras or other trail runners). The shoes dry relatively quickly, within 24 hours with the insoles removed in a dry climate. I used these to hike the Zion narrows for several miles up and down and they worked well for this purpose. I replaced the insole with a Dr Scholls planter fasciitis insole in order to increase the cushiness and support, which has seemed to work well without being too stiff. The soles are soft so you will feel irregular objects that you step on.These shoes could be better with the grip and durability of the outsole. The tread seems to wear down ~60% after 200 miles of hiking. My first pair has ~330 miles on them with a small amount of tread left. The tread is not very grippy, especially after 50% tread. The compound gets slippery if going from water/snow to rock. I wish these had vibram rubber or something grippy and more durable lugs. Also, be careful when slipping these on because the cushioning in the heel can become dislodged and bunched up under the fabric if you don’t use your finger or a shoe horn to slide your heel into the shoe. Otherwise, these shoes are the most comfortable of all the hiking shoes that I have tried on. Hopefully Altra doesn’t ruin these with unnecessary redesigns aside from the outsole which needs to be beefed up a little.

   Clear upgrade from Lone Peak 6
   If you like to mountain hike, trail run, and rock scramble, and you have wide feet, the wide toe box feature of the Altra Lone Peaks make this shoe a good option. I purchased some Altra Lone Peak 6’s about 9 months ago and unfortunately they have already worn out. The inseam (upper part) started to tear and the grips on the bottom of the shoe started to wear out. I liked the Lone Peak 6’s for their wide fit and they were comfortable to a degree, but they did not have much support and were not durable. They gripped well on limestone rock and sandstone, but did slide around a bit on scree slopes as well on some of the rocky trails I go on. I already notice an upgrade with the Lone Peak 7 in comfort. they have a bit more padding. Also the grip and traction is clearly better, even on scree slopes I have noticed a clear improvement. The only thing I worry about with this shoe is long term durability. I’m not sure how Altra Lone peaks can improve on durability to make a more rugged shoe without giving up certain perks like the toe box width and overall flexibility of the shoe. I tried a pair of La Sportiva’s as they appear to be highly regarded and more rugged, but their extra wide was not nearly wide enough in the toe box.

   Top rated hiking shoe
   This is my second pair of ALTRA Lone Peak 7 shoes in this colour. My first pair wore out around the heels and parts of the soles after multiple long distance hikes (1,000 KMs +) across Spain, Italy and Switzerland and up Mount Kilimanjaro (apart from Summit day) and various other hikes and mountains. I found them very comfortable from the get go. The wide toe box ensures next to no toe friction avoiding any blisters. There is plenty of grip (although I would prefer a Vibram sole) and enough cushioning in the sole across rocky terrain. I love the colour and design and preferred to stick with the 7 rather than the 8 for that reason. I own a pair of LP 6s and the major improvement in the 7 for me is that they let in less water when walking across wet fields and grass. They still let in a lot through the fabric so I take alternative socks and soles to change in to. But overall outstanding.

   I have been wearing Altra shoes for many years now, they are the only shoe I purchase due to my Extremely wide square feet and they are very budget friendlyI purchase a pair every 6 months on averageI wear them everywhere and average 80km a week on themI would highly recommend them to anyone with wide feet and prefer a more natural feel (zero drop).Unfortunately this time they have sent me 10.5 instead of my needed size 11 rendering them useless to me.

   Wide toe box for my duck feet + zero drop has me in heaven. Even though these shoes are trail runners, they’re actually great every day shoes IMO. They are best suited to natural surfaces (grass, dirt trails etc) and I wouldn’t run long distances on the pavement in them (but you can with no issue, they’ll just wear fast)… but if you wear them as every day shoes you’ll be fine. I prefer them in the city over most running shoes and they’ll be the superior choice come winter.I have barefoot shoes for daily walking but rotate these in every now and then and also have a pair of Altra Torin 7’s in wide which I bought for running but they feel a bit too much like walking on a pair of mattresses for every day use. These feel just right. The Lone Peaks are a classic for a reason.
