"It's truly amazing how good they are at gripping scree, sand, and unstable terrain. ... My Altra Lone Peaks saved me from nearly sliding off a cliff on sandy terrain in Arizona, kept my footing bouldering up a mountain in Pennsylvania, and across a ridgeline of scree along Mount Hood in Oregon."

"Except for the uncommonly wet mud-fest at Black Mountain many years ago I've never had grip problems."

"I’m very tough on shoes and Altras seem to take the punishment well."
"I usually put around 400 miles of running and a lot of miles of walking on each pair of Lone Peaks."
"My Winter Gore-Tex Lone Peaks have lasted for at least four winters, as the soles remain intact under my spikes"

"Additionally they are zero drop shoes which is also better for foot and ankle health and promotes a stronger achilles tendon."
"I had never done zero drop before these either, but theyre great and I wont go back to shoes with any amount of drop"
"the low drop and low stack height of the Altra Lone Peak is perfect for these conditions, providing a comfortable and stable platform."

"I did a drying test on both pair last year and found both dry quickly IF you remove the insole when it gets wet or keep them dry and remove them before making a water crossing. ... In the field, I walked through creeks and got my feet totally wet (not on purpose) in November with nighttime lows in the upper 20s. Shoes dried by morning and the insoles were still damp, but dried as I hiked."
"quick-drying shoes ... all the wetness will be wicked away ... When you get to camp, take out the insoles to dry the shoe."
"they dry very quickly"

"Altra brand shoes are 'zero drop', so your calf muscles will need to stretch by a quarter inch or so. Do this WELL before your hike by putting 100 miles or so on them, or you will massively, tearfully regret it."

"My Altra Lone Peak shoes have zero cushioning ... I can feel every pebble on the trails."
"LP definitely low cushion, those puppies feel like barefoot shoes after 400km in them"
"if your trip involves any kind of hiking that's not on pavement or gravel I'd consider actual hiking shoes. ... some of the rougher hikes...yeah my big toe nail on one foot and a nail on the other foot is still black underneath from wearing these on a hike. ... The trails I did were rough, muddy, and slippery which resulted in me hurting my feet when I slipped and jammed my foot into rocks. ... Which would not have been an issue if I were wearing actual hiking shoes that offer more protection for your feet."

conro 1.0Altra makes (made?) the Lone Peak Alpine which has the same fit and tread as the lone peak but a more casual looking upper. I’m on my 2nd pair of them as my everyday shoe but I think they may have been discontinued.
finchfinch2 1.0The altra peaks are expensive but they last a couple seasons. Worth the investment I feel
GetStable 1.0I have had good success with Keen. Their waterproofing has lasted me longer than Columbia or others. That being said, I'm currently trying a pair of Altra Lone Peak 8s in their waterproof version. I use the regular ones in dry conditions and really like them, but the waterproof ones are too new to really know what the durability will be like. The Altras might be out of your price range though. I think I paid $210CAD for mine.
HalfGreekPenguin 1.0I've got Altra Lone Peak All-wthr Low 2 which are more waterproof than the plain Lone Peaks and I'm quite happy with them, but I use them for trail running and have only really encountered shallow puddles or soft muddy spots, so not sure how much water you want to be prepared for. These "Low" ones are like running shoes but they also have a "Mid" that goes up to the ankle. Worth checking out Lems as well (www.footworksrunning.co.uk for UK) You might be able to find more info/recommendations on r/BarefootRunning otherwise
Trueblocka 1.0Living in Southern California, my hiking shoes are year around hiking shoes. I love my Altra Lone Peaks. I've had Line Peak 6's and 9's and they are both great for trail running and hiking.
AdorableReception826 0.5I use Altra Lone Peak all-weather boots (they’re ankle height) for winter hiking in Colorado. Some reviews say they’re not very waterproofed, but I never had an issue with them getting wet, and you can buy the spray to waterproof them extra if you’re worried (I bought it but didn’t end up needing to use it). Paired with warm, thick hiking socks, my feet stay cozy in them!
captliberty 0.5I have that pair of Altra, personally I like the water resistance and feel more confident to tackle different terrain in all weather with them. They are warm, relative to a more breathable shoe but it's a trade off I'm willing to accept.
forsakenpear 0.5There is an Altra Lone Peak All-weather, which has a waterproof lining. I’ve used the regular Lone Peaks plenty in Scotland and though they get wet easily, they also drain and dry easily. I’ve had several times when I step in a bog but by the end of the hike my feet are dry again. They are incredibly comfortable too, at least for me.

girlwholovespurple 0.5I love my Altra Lone Peak waterproof trail runners with wool socks. Good for everything except deep snow.
I’ve had multiple pairs of their regular lone peaks, but I loooove my waterproof ones since it’s so wet in the PNW!
Altra lone peak all weathers are great for mud/rain/light snow.
Organic_Chocolate_35 0.5Hi all, looking to replace my trusty Altra All Weather Lone Peak 2’s. Great shoes, can throw them on in any situation and not worry about a thing. They don’t last long though, and I’d like more cushion. The drop and toe box don’t really matter to me. Need something that can walk in a wet or dry city all day, climb stone, and go on dirt and get wet. Hopefully also isn’t terribly ugly. May consider a mid-height shoe but it’s never been on my radar. Feel free to convince me yes or no. Gotta be waterproof (or mostly), don’t convince me otherwise. Here is my top list so far: Vans Crosspath XC Gore Tex - I know nothing about them, but cmon, they’re dope and look to have good tech. Brooks Cascadia 19 GTX - I’ve heard Brooks is good but that’s all I know. On Cloudrock low Waterproof - Again, heard good things but no personal experience. Altra Timp 5 GTX - Thinking they’re like a more padded version of my old Altras. But sometimes I like switching it up so idk. Hoka Transport GTX - I have Hoka Bondi SR as my work shoes and I love the padding and feel of Hokas.
