"Never had a blister, no support issues and most of the time I forget to cinch the laces right at the trail head and I don't even notice. ... Incredibly comfortable, right out of the box."
"Foot-shaped toe box ... super roomy ... Great for comfort and natural splay"
"The box toe allowed my swollen feet to feel comfortable even after climbing Mt Washington."

"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."
"On my ass would be lucky. I come home with bloody knees and wrists when I let the knobs on my LonePeaks wear down too far."
"Great in the mud: eye-opening for someone that tends to slip and slide."

"quick-drying shoes ... all the wetness will be wicked away ... When you get to camp, take out the insoles to dry the shoe."
"My Altra Lone Peaks take about 30 minutes of movement to dry off :) ... yep. means I don't have to chose between crossing barefoot (owie!) or bringing a second pair of shoes."
"they dry very quickly"

"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."

"the zero drop eliminated some hip pain I was having."
"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 come home with bloody knees and wrists when I let the knobs on my LonePeaks wear down too far. ... Which is always."
"I bust both sides of my first, and last, pair of LP's at 100km. These were rocky tough trails but still.."
"their quality is just plain awful. ... Every pair I’ve owned in the last several years, be it road or trial shoes (including multiple pairs of LPs) has had the sides blown out of them well before shoes should start to fail."

"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."

I'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
r/UKhiking • Hiking shoe - zero/low drop, wide fit ->Living 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.
r/hiking • what summer hiking shoes do you wear? ->I 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!
r/barefootshoestalk • Love Barefoot, Hate Frostbite- Wide Feet, Cold Mountains, No Options?! ->There 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.

r/UKhiking • Hiking shoe - zero/low drop, wide fit ->I use altra all weather lone peaks, smartwool socks, gaiters, and exospikes. It works really well for me on trails in Putnam county, NY.
r/XXRunning • Ice, snow, mud...what are you all wearing on your feet?? ->Going completely against the grain here; I wear LPs around town and haven’t had issues with them wearing out (ever though I’m a bigger chap). I haven’t found a shoe I like to run or hike in as much as the LPs (except for one, see at the end) However, if you are thinking about the all weather LPs I wouldn’t buy them. I had a pair and they just aren’t LPs. Can’t quite put my finger on it but they fit different. And they are not waterproof. Our local running shop has lots of complaints about them. I’ve searched a fair bit for a waterproof zero drop day to day shoe and I’ve finally found one that I love and have worn all winter; xero ridgeway Chelsea boots. They are perfect when it’s wet out. And strike a nice balance between cushioning and being more minimalist (but not as much as a vivo). But get half a size bigger than your normal shoe as they are a little snug.
r/trailrunning • Anyone try the Altra Lone Peak 9? ->Altra 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.
r/trailrunning • Using trail running shoes as daily shoes? ->I’m taking a pair of zero drop trail runners, lone peak 8 to be precise. They aren’t for everyone, and take a little getting used to. The idea is that is more natural than having a lifted heel. The shoes them self’s are extremely fast drying and very light. They also come in a “waterproof” version I own a pair of these as well, love them, but wouldn’t recommend. The water proof ones will get some breakthrough (wetness) on the inside after some time in the rain. The longest I’ve worn them in pouring rain, snow or puddles has been about an hour and I didn’t have any breakthrough. But it will happen eventually. So the extra heat from the waterproof lining isn’t worth it to me. If it starts raining too bad I’d switch to my chacos.
r/CaminoDeSantiago • Trail(running) shoes for camino? ->Trail runners for grip. I play Altra Lone Peak Waterproof Lows in the wet months. They are treaded with no drop for a balanced feel.
r/golf • good golf shoes, that are not golf shoes ->I buy mine new on Poshmark at a good discount. Op, Buy the Altra gators that attach to them and it’s like a mid.
r/CampingGear • Shoes…but on a budget ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
