Customer Reviews Altra Lone Peak 4 Mid RSM

I find these to be perfect for hiking and traveling. I'm on my second pair. They have been waterproof for me, even while hiking all day in the intermittent rain on the boggy munros, occasionally stepping into deep puddles and little streams. I initially had a problem with tightness through the mid-foot arch, but fixed it by changing the lacing (not including the strap across the tongue at the arch, and skipping the mid lace spots). Then they are perfect for my wide forefoot and high arch. Most comfortable shoes I have.

I have truly put this pair of Altras to the test this summer. I live in Alaska and have logged over 200 trail miles in them since May. They have provided great support and traction through many different trail settings. They are comfortable and my feet have stayed trouble free during those miles. Many of the hikes involved rock scrambles and the Trail Claw soles did their job. I do buy a half size up from my regular shoe size. They are showing some wear but I've given them a good workout and scraped them across many rocks in the process. The only minor negative is that they require some effort to get my foot in even with unlacing the top two loops, but that is probably just part of the mid-rise style.

These boots are ridiculously light and cozy. I put them to the test today right out of the box. Maybe not for everyone but with wide feet like mine-heaven.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes, they are my only summer hiking "boot". The added height for water proofing and the extra support push these above the low top Lone Peaks for longer hikes, or hikes in wet weather. They are incredibly comfortable and my feet are never sore after a long day, even with a multi-day pack. My only gripe is that they only last me a season before the flex point completely fails. In Altra's defense, I use these for a lot of off-trail travel and there is a lot of scree in Alaska that I surf these through. But because they are so incredibly comfortable, I will continue to buy a new pair each season until a more durable but still agile replacement comes to market.

I live in Northwest Indiana. When it comes to hiking, our moraines and sandy dunes are about as good as it gets, so what do I know about a hiking boot, right? I'm 6'2" and weigh 220. I'm hard on everything I own. Not willfully nor maliciously; I simply work hard. I wear these boots when I work outside in my yard which is 4-8 hours a day on the weekends. I have a very uneven lawn that has a 30 degree incline in the front. I have low spots that collect water, areas with tall, tangly native grasses, a few hilly features, and 50+ year old silver maple tree roots protrude above the grass throughout my yard just begging me to trip over them. I beat the snot out of these boots, and they are solid. I slosh through those low areas where the water goes above the lace line, and my feet stay dry. I have bad ankles and bad knees, and these suckers support me comfortably and durably. A misstep on a tree root is nothing, yet I spin, turn, and jump like I'm wearing some cushy approach shoes. These are the best outdoor boots I've ever worn, and as long as Altra keeps making like this, I'll never need anything else.

Selected these for the Kennedy 50 mile walk. Most comfortable trail shoes I have ever tried. No issues at all - no blisters. Loved the wider toe box!

I have had my MEN'S LONE PEAK 4 MID RSM for 6 months now and use them almost every day. Trail running and hiking in the Tillamook Forest. These shoes are a high top trail running shoe not a boot. Comfortable and fit like all my other Altra's. They have worked very well for me. They have kept my feet dry this winter and it has been a fairly wet and cold one. With plenty of snow this year. They are just now starting to let some moisture through after six months. Other than that they are holding up very well. I would highly recommend the MEN'S LONE PEAK 4 MID RSM.

Best one for all day and hike . Please keep making them . They don't hurt like other . Good natural toe box not skimpy . Enough height in FORefoot many out there make them to flat . SaW yur new hiker and it sounds like to many issues . I WILL ALWAYS BUY THESE

I love these boots. I have predominately worn these for all of my hiking/walking workouts here in the mountains of New Mexico. I have just replaced my Old boots today. My old pair are still in great shape the original shoelaces are still on them and all of the loops for the laces are still completely intact. The only reason why I am replacing my old pair is because after 900 miles I have worn out the soles of the shoes.

Bought these for backpacking and hiking. They are unbelievably light and very comfy, even with a full pack. Walked through several streams up to and over laces and never got socks wet. Holding up well after 3 trips. Will never wear bulky hiking boots again.
