The positives: light weight and wide in the toe box
The negatives: The description of this shoes states: "Balanced Cushioning places the heel and forefoot at equal distance from the ground to promote proper, low-impact form throughout the run." I found that my heel was lower than the mid-sole or toe just standing and walking around the house, not equal distance from the ground.

I loved the 4.5s I put around 500 miles on them and they were so comfortable. The 5s were the only option when I bought a new pair. They're a completely different shoe. They feel narrower, the cushioning isn't as comfortable, and I'm less stable on the trails I run. After running on them for a few weeks my forefoot started to hurt so much I had to see a podiatrist. I was a loyal Altra customer but I'm definitely not anymore.

This is my second review for Altra footwear (previous was for Eacalante racer/running shoe). This brand was recommended to me by a podiatrist and while they have a roomy toe box there is little to no support anywhere else in these shoes. The hiker has decent grip/traction on the outsole but the underfoot cushioning is lacking and the uppers provide little structure/support. Your foot feels like it’s sliding around in it. I just wore them around town and didn’t even get to hike in them bc I wanted to return them they were so ill fitting. I can only imagine I could’ve risked injury hiking in such a poorly constructed shoe. Thanks as always to Zappos for their awesome and understanding Customer Service team. Very helpful with returning these!

I purchased the wide Lone Peak 5's and they are the greatest shoes I've ever worn! Right out of the box, the wide width fit my foot and with arch support, I hiked for 3 months straight (15-30 miles daily with a backpack) and they were the best.
The tread does wear out quickly, but that's a problem with Altra shoes that they just can't seem to fix. The tread was fantastic - I had great traction on steep slopes and over rocky terrain, so it's sad it wore out within a month (about 400 miles).
DO NOT PURCHASE THE LONE PEAK 6 AS A REPLACEMENT. I am so disappointed that they made the wide LESS WIDE, the toe box smaller, volume smaller, just terrible. The Lone Peak 5's have high volume so you don't lose circulation from the shoe pressing down on the top of your foot, and the 5's are actually wide for those of us who have actually wide feet (I'm talking 2E or 4E if I can find it). If I could buy 10 pairs of these I would.
I still wear these shoes despite giant holes in the sides and zero tread. They are insanely comfortable and I will continue to wear them and get rid of the stupid 6's.

I love these shoes. I had been suffering from tendonitis in my foot, and these shoes helped immensely. If you are used to extra tight shoes (like I was), and consider that "normal" then these might feel odd at first. Since switching to these, I have had no pain from running, and my pinky toes have plenty of room. I have had other altras, but these are my favorite! They have lasted very well for months - even averaging 15-20 miles a week. I do put superfeet inserts to help with slight supination, but the tread has lasted a long time. They are very easy to clean! Highly recommend.

I went out on a limb when I purchased these shoes, because I had never even heard of them before. So, these were my first pair of Altria’s. I have to say, I am highly impressed with my new discovery! These are the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever owned. They almost feel like you’re not even wearing shoes because they are so light weight. Definitely worth every penny! I love them so much, I’m fixing to buy another pair!

Hands down Altra’s reign supreme! The only tennis shoe you

I love that this shoe points straight where the big toe is. This allows me to wear the size I should instead of sizing up to still fit a shoe which is logest in the middle of my foot, making the shoe too wide. I have a narrower heel and a fuller forefoot, and these fit great. I do use them for running.

Best shoes ever ever ever. I got them for hiking half dome in Yosemite and was the only one in my party who wasn’t slipping all over and that did not have any blisters. I’ve been wearing them for a year now and have zero complaints and all the love. I’ve converted several people to these shoes for hiking. I should get a royalty! ?

Really great walking or hiking shoe. I wear these all the time but not quite enough impact support for running or playing sports.

Love these shoes. Best shoes I've had in a long time. Lots of toe roomlots and I have wide feet! Plenty of room for my orthotics and toe spacers for bunions.

I usually wear a wide width and have difficulty finding shoes to fit. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these fit well in the B width.

These are great shoes. I was looking for something that allowed my toes room to wiggle, and these do it! The toe box is excellent even though I have fairly wide feet. It's like wearing my Birkenstocks or Chacos in tennis shoe form! FREE THE TOES!

This was instantly comfortable. I have a wide foot, and this wider toe box is a perfect fit! The shoe is very lightweight, too. I feel confident so far that the support is sufficient, so I won’t have to use my inserts.

The first time I wore these, I was able to walk much further than normal. I usually experience some degree of foot and knee pain on long walks, but I had ZERO pain. I love the color, the fit, and the extra room in the toes. They might be my new favorite shoes of all time.

My favorite Altra is Lone Peak. I am neutral, normal width. The Altra's are nice and wide so you toes can wiggle. They are flat so take time to get used to the feel. It will take awhile. A few hours a day at first. I am not a runner. I can walk for miles and miles and I love relaxing with them on, they feel so great. I also wear the Escalante which has a little more padding but is as wide and comfortable. You must try. The Altra is not your typical running shoe.
I'd also recommend:
My other go to is Brooks Ghost. A more typical running shoe.

The Altra Lone Peak is my favorite Altra. My second favorite is the Escalante. Altra's are unlike any other shoe so be prepared for a nice wide fit where your toes can actually move around. They are flat so they take some getting used to. Go Easy. You will be amazed at how wonderful they feel on your feet.

Fit was perfect. Bought same size as last pair of Altra's I bought and completely wore out. This sales was timely as I've been waiting and waiting for Altra to come out with an affordable GOOD pair of sneaks.
