Customer Reviews Altra Lone Peak 4 Mid Mesh

After reading the bad reviews on the Lone Peak 4, I felt like I had to jump in. My shoes were so comfortable out of the box. They are light weight but still durable. Now they are not work boot tough but very durable for trail running. I have had no issues with them coming apart or having defects. The comfort is great and my knee problems went away after 3 runs in them. The Altra shoe design is an amazing breakthrough and makes so much sense. Thank you Altra for running comfort, quality and a great looking product.

I am an avid hiker and absolutely love these shoes! I bought these in January 2019. Did a ton of hiking in Moab when I lived there with these and they ripped the trails out there. Moved to Colorado in June 2019 and did all sorts hiking around boulder, Denver and in summit county. They just feel like the best shoe I've ever worn. I like that I can trail run in them and also trust them on gnarly steep terrain as well. All around 10/10 and would recommend these to anyone that wants an aggressive hiking shoe! But I will warn they don't do well in creek crossings! Just watch your step and you should be fine.

Just walked the Kennedy 50 miler in them. Great shoe - had no issues with blisters or foot pain. 0 degree drop and wide toe box are great!

super comfortable upper, cinches around the foot well, fast low impact stride, breathes well, ultra light

These boots are rugged, tough, durable, and excellent. I bought them to hike the West Coast Trail, and I'll be honest I was a little nervous about them holding up. But, they were the only minimalist/zero drop/wide toe box hiking boot I could find on the market that might possibly get the job done. Boy, was I not disappointed. I hiked with these bad boys through roots, mud, sticks, sand, ladders, rocks, etc. and they held up perfectly. Breathable, flexible, and indeed waterproof (disclaimer: I did put a coat of scotch guard on them just to be safe). These boots took me all the way and I can't recommend them enough. If you are hesitating, don't! These are the boots for you.

I hiked 5 days doing 14 mile days through rain and dry weather on the blue trail. I never felt pain in feet, no blisters and are most comfortable shoes for hiking. I tried many other hiking boots and shoes and these will save your feet and back.

No one has made a better boot that I have worn! Ever! Not even close. Most comfortable,supportive,forward thinking product that I have found period. Nice Work Altra!

I have the regular Lone Peaks and the Mids, and I love the shoe. Out of the box, it feels about perfect. I normally wear a 13 4E. I use the Mid Mesh pair as my work shoe - typically on my feet for 10 hr shifts. The only downside is I've had some inflammation I can only attribute to muscle weaknesses in my feet. I feel like I'm still in the transition phase from the high heels.

I'm an an Ex-Wildland Firefighter (Hotshot Cleveland/San Bernardino/SLO I know hiking. And I know comfort in a boot. In this case the trail running shoe here. As a testament to there comfort. I strapped on my very first pair, the day of my 3rd return trip to hike to the Havasupai Indian tribe in the Grand Canyon. To see the falls and hike to the Colorado and back out. With a 47 pound pack. Brand New from the box. The first part of the hike is a 2 mile switch back down to the floor of the Grand Canyon. With a pack pushing down on you. Im sure your all aware of the downward strain that puts on the foot. Especially when your foot starts sweating. To sum it up. It was a 64 mile trip. Not one issue. Not one blister. I have not worn a different shoe since. I own an Auto Detailing business. So I'm constantly on my feet. I've ran through 4 pair already. And just purchased the new Waterproof version, because of my job. I wanted to see how they do. They are also awesome. Just a bit warm on the feet. Obviously with the waterproof covering, you don't get as much air flow. I also play adult league softball and I where these bad boys to. Just like a turf cleat. These stick to the dirt when your rounding second. GREAT SHOE! Shoe does run a bit small in length. But they have half sizes now!! I should be a spokesperson for you guys! I weighed 233 when I did my Havasupai hike and tha was 1 year ago in April of 2019. I weigh 185 now! And it's because i have the comfort of those shoes! No feet aches. My knees don't hurt. They literally propel your step forward. Buy it!!

Awesome update and the mid top are awesome for hiking and even running in the snow. I used to like really firm boots but these are great. No blisters right out of the box while hiking straight up a mountain with no trail.

The Altra LONE PEAK 4 MID MESH is excellent. In seeking to optimize a couple of features the LONE PEAK 4 MID MESH really succeeds for me. I am unsympathetic to the complaints about the LONE PEAK 4 MID MESH not being weather-proof enough. In a market overfull of weatherized Gore Tex'd footwear that never breathes or dissipates heat well enough, the breathability of the LONE PEAK 4 MID MESH is a feature, not a liability. The ankle support provided for trail running and older world-worn ankles is especially appreciated. My pair are holding up well under continual use. The wide box for the forefoot is also as welcome differentiating feature. I hope Altra is not tempted change these basic singular features ever--but instead build on them. More colors maybe. The LONE PEAK 4 MID MESH may not be pretty, but I think they are beautiful!
