King MT 2

Shoutout to the King Mt2 from Altra. Feels like old school Altra. I think it's meant to be a Munro shoe but I've found it does really well on rock. The velcro strap also means switching between looser fit for plodding miles and tighter fit for responsive scrambling is super handy  That said I do most of my scrambling in merrell vapour gloves so maybe I just have low standards 

I think the Lone Peaks are too chunky.  King Mts are the goat trail runner.  Different people have different preferences.

Another vote for Topo. I still like and use the Altra King Mts for more aggressive or wet conditions. The Topos are more comfortable and much more durable, but retain a lot of water in my experience.

Check out the Altra King Mountain. The one with the Velcro strap. It's slimmer padding than the lone peak I used to run in and it's way more durable. Also the grip in mud or wet conditions is far superior to Lone Peak. I hope they keep this model around for longer. They got rid of it for a short time. Might have to buy a backup pair while I still can.

I use my Altra King MT running shoes for riding on flat pedals. I usually ride clipless, so I don't really have a need for a dedicated flat pedal shoe. I find the thin sole zero drop construction fits the bill pretty well, and the Vibram sole sticks to the pedals.

Second that. I run in Altras for a lot of runs but the Kjerag for most trails. Also the Altra MT king are grippy and low stack, and not as wide as the lone peak (lone peak are too wide for me)

Mudtalon speed are less awful. I favour Altra King MT - not as aggressive as true fell shoes but not far off, I've done a few 2 day MMs in them.
