ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoe

I love these shoes. Listen, the world doesn't have to live in extremes. My feet need low-drop, but not barefoot-thin soles. I want my shoes to be lightweight, but not paper-thin. I want them to look ok with shorts or jeans, but not scream beast-mode. These are flippin' awesome. Very comfortable, decent cushioning and decent arch support. I weight 225lbs, I wore them through a summer vacation trip to Washington, SO MUCH walking, and these shoes were comfortable and supportive throughout. After that, they became running shoes, and they've served me for a dozen runs at 3-4 miles each, I have zero complaints. BTW, a few of those were on dirt and gravel, and these shoes performed admirably; good traction, and roots don't hurt. Fit is accurate, I wear 13 in Nike, Vans, Ecco, Bass, and these. Toe box is just a smidge roomy. The only critique I have (8 months into ownership) is that they take stains pretty fast. It's my own fault for wearing them to wash pots and pans... but just a few splatters of dishwashing water, and they're stained forever. Still, I would absolutely recommend these to a friend, and/or buy them again.

If you haven’t tried Altra shoes, make your feet the happiest they have ever been with shoes on! The roomy toe box allows for a natural shape of your forefoot. From their zero-drop to fully cushioned models, they are the BEST! True to size in most cases. Their hiking models are also awesome!

Light durable shoe for hiking. Nice and wide for comfort and great grip for trails.

These are great hiking shoes and I use them when landscaping around the yard. Helps minimize my Morton's neuroma numbness and pain since it has a large toe box. True to size fit. Nothing bad about the lone Peak 8 shoe model. The only thing that's bad about the company (Altra) is they run out of shoes fast (especially my size 14). I learned my lesson with the Escalante 4's (also a great shoe model) when I bought them to try them out and then loved them... but when I went back to purchase another pair the Escalante's they were all out of my size. So what did I do when I read the favorable views on the Lone Peak 8? I bought 2 pairs in my size without waiting to try them out. Once again, great comfort with that larger toe box for my aging 45 year feet. I only wish I had ordered a third pair to get me through the year before the lone peak 9's come out since I'm pretty rough with the wear and tear I put on my shoes (and body for that matter)... when I went back online to order them a couple months later, they were sold out in my size... again, lol! If you haven't looked at trying Altra, I'd give them a chance and make a run at them.... pun intended. They're great for folks on their feet all day like folks working in a hospitality/restaurant job, hospital, packaging/parcel job, etc.... and off course running, walking and hiking.

Great fit and comfort but they wear out pretty quick.

Amazing trail runner though I use it more for trail walks. 130miles till now!

Haven’t been able to hike more than a few times, but the size is just right vs being too big in comparable size in women’s. Foot pain decreased! But still always need to use my custom inserts for arch support! I wear to work for comfort and switched out laces. Great price.

Used 4 pairs of these to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. They're reasonably durable. I got about 600 miles per pair and it was always the collapse of the foam sole that made me need to replace them. I'm very happy, these are all I wear.
