Altra

Lone Peak 7 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

My First (but not last) Pair of Altras

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

9.5

I've had the Lone Peak 7 for over a month and have embarked on a handful of runs and hikes with them. Overall, I fell in love with this shoe almost immediately. It feels very comfortable to me, and lightweight. Running with my normal shoes (brooks ghost) my shins would get sore, and I do not experience that when using these shoes. Perhaps it's the zero-drop working? I can't speak to the long term durability issues as others have mentioned, but so far so good, they've held up well. These shoes will remain as my sole trail runners and a hiking shoe when I don't need/want my hiking boots. While these are not waterproof, they do dry very quickly as they're so lightweight and breathable. My only complaint is the laces are quite short. If you like to double-knot you may be strained on space. I use the runner's lock and there's not enough lace left for me to double-knot. They seem like high quality laces though, I've never had them come loose.

Too narrow

Too narrow. The toe box is not roomy. Wide available only in ugliest color. Offer more wide options. The heel pulls pulled right off. Rubber around toe box peeled after a few wears.

Comfortable with the wide option

I bought this in the wide option and dark blue color. Wide options should always be offered in dark colors so they don't look too wide when wearing them. Women's shoes too! Thank you.

Best fitting shoe I've ever owned

I wear them everywhere, not just on the trail. All that said, they have amazing grip on the worst trail surfaces, and when I wake up the next morning on a long hike my feet don't hurt or ache at all. I can't say that with my other trail shoes.

My Favorite Altra Shoe Thus Far

I am a Physical Therapist and I use it to wear in clinic daily. Love the feel and fit for my foot. Very comfortable. I wish there was an all black or all black and white color so I could buy another.

Too narrow!

We have bought 8 pair of Altras in the last 3-4 years and all the newer models are too narrow for our feet. Just had to return a pair of lone peak 7 that says they are the "original foot shape", because they were too narrow for my son's feet (compared to his previous pair!)

Awesome grip

After 2 pairs of LP5 and 2 pairs of LP6, I'm really happy to see the new grip on my 2 pairs of LP7, more aggressive! After 900km on the fisrt one, I can say it's the most durable shoes I wear. Can't wait to try the LP8!!!

If they make more wide options, maybe

Five stars 5 years ago! They have strayed from their foundation! Only offering 1 or 2 color options in 1or 2 models is a slap in the face to those of us that have supported this company since founded!

A perfect outdoors companion

This shoe delivers performance on the trails with style. The EGO foam provides a comfortable, yet supportive ride. The grip of the outsole will not have you missing Vibram. A must have in your collection.

Comfortable but falling apart

Comfortable and great for bigger feet. Holds up okay every where but the glued rubber edging around the toe of the shoe. The rubber is pulling away from the fabric around the toe area. This happened in about a month.
