Lone Peak 9 Waterproof Low

Women's

This is a fabulous hiking and off trail shoe that is truly waterproof. This brand of shoe especially This style is known for its wide toe box designed to be more like an actual foot shape. So when trying this shoe a person needs to understand that and not criticize inappropriately. The rest of the shoe fits normally with the heel staying secure. This brand and style are also known for being a zero drop shoe which means it's flat to the ground with it not bring slightly higher from back to front. This design is to mimic how our body abs feet were meant to naturally walk which is something I really like. The shoe is cushioned nicely but not overly so. Again designed for good ground contact and help your feet and arch stay strong naturally. The shoe materials are soft and comfortable. The color is nice too and wish there were more options. This type of design with wide toe box and zero drop is not for everyone. I'd advise researching this brand of shoe and exploring their other designs to help you choose trying one out. Then perhaps they would be reviewed a little more objectively and not just slamming them for having a wide toe box.....which is one of this brands selling points.
