Lone Peak Series

I bought a pair of shoes from Altra they were consider no drop/ barefoot trail shoes. I wore them for two caminos close to 300km of hiking. Also for hiking at home here in the USA Midwest. I just picked up my second pair. They are not exactly the same but I’m breaking them in only had them for a week. They are a wide toe box as well which gave my toes lots of room to move with no blisters either trip. I included a link for the shoe I just bought. [shoe link](https://www.altrarunning.com/en-us/trail/mens-lone-peak-9%2B/AL0A85RG.html)I’m 6foot6inches tall weigh roughly 285lbs (2metes 130kg).

I’m not a fan of zero drop running shoes. I had one pair of Altras and won’t buy another. I guess I’m not allowed to share my shoe opinions on a post asking about shoes without getting downvoted. 🤷‍♂️

Altra LP's were great for me on the HRP, assuming you mean summertime.

Altra trail runners. Or any trail runners really. You don’t need climbing specific approach shoes.

I've put over 2000 miles into a couple pairs of Altra runners. I have boots I use for more rugged adventures with lots of ankle rolling risks, but for 90% of trails, runners are too comfortable and light to not wear.

Go to REI and let them Guide you. I ended up with Altra trail runners. They’re great

My altra lone peak 9’s have a few hundred rounds in them and going strong. Might not be minimalist enough for you though.

And to be clear I meant the 9+ with the vibrant soles, they are superb.

Just got some altra lone peaks. Feel great underneath and have good soles for trail running. Would recommend

REI is having its 20% off one item sale this week. Go get a good pair of shoes. Whatever best fits your foot. I just did my first hike in Altra Lone Peak 9’s yesterday. They were fantastic. But obviously you need a shoe that fits your foot. With the REI 20% sale and the 10% rebate on top of that you’re looking at real close to $100 for top of the line shoes when all is said and done. Good luck

As the other commenter said- you are overthinking this. Any trail runner will be fine. Get a color you like in a model that fits your foot and be done with it. I use my Altra Lone Peaks for all of that and more.

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!
