Altra Lone Peak 5 Review – 300 Mile Update – Appalachian Trail

Описание: After 300 miles of use the Lone Peak 5 is holding up extremely well, especially compared to previous versions. The stitched toe has no indications of wanting to peel off. Also, the uppers are in very good shape and have not delaminated or torn. There is one spot on the toe where I got wedged in some rocks and did manage to tear a small hole where the drain holes are. This hole has not expanded, nor has it given me any issues. The shoes are very comfortable and provide very good traction. We used them in the White Mountains of New Hampshire this year through the Wildcats and they clung to the rocks very well. I’d continue buying these but Altra is already moving on to version 6. I’m looking forward to trying a pair of the Lone Peak 6 in the spring. That being said, I might actually get another whole season out of these.

I’ve been using Altra Lone Peak trail runners for all my Appalachian Trail hikes. After having blister and knee issues with other types of shoes a few years back, I tried the “zero drop” Altra Lone Peak 3.0 and loved them. They fit me perfectly and feel great. I kept buying them until they were no longer available. Altra has evolved the series over time, releasing the 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 versions of the shoe. More often than not, people complained about the fit of the new versions and universally, the rubber toe was notorious for peeling off. The new lone Peak 5 version of the shoe features a stitched toe! Will this end the peeling issue? We’ll see as I continue to provide updates of my experience. Out of the box, they fit true to size, just like my old 3.0 did. Note these are now available in “wide” and “medium/standard” width. I purchased the medium width. The color is Dark Slate/Red.
