Customer Reviews Altra Lone Peak 5

This is my third pair of these over several years. I wear them every day. I buy them a half size larger than some other shoes because my toes love the room and because I use a custom insole which takes up a little extra room. I have very flat feet, chronic forefoot pain and plantar fasciitis, but I am very comfortable in these. They always look nice because of the water/dirt resistance. Love the new color!

I got these shoes for dog walking (which is 5-7 miles daily). They are great! I have had Alta shoes before and love the room in the toe box. Some people do not like the look of the rounded toe but I know that happy toes trump style if you move around as much as I do. Give them a try and I don’t think you will be disappointed. Just sayin.

I got this shoe based on assiduous research of hiking and backpacking reviewers' opinions of them. I was not disappointed. Yes, they are indeed comfortable from the minute they are put on. For the longest time I have been wearing Merrell's low hiking shoes / can't remember which model, but it's an older one, about 3 years old. Yes, the are comfortable, too, but after hiking my feet are a little sore and hot and I want to take them off immediately after the hike. I've worn these with maximal comfort and DON'T want to take them off. I wouldn't recommend them for a long, extra-rocky path where the rocks could dig into the sides of the shoe and possibly rip the rip-stop nylon that most of the shoe is made of. And now, they are not a stiff boot-like material -- not what I wanted anyway. So, I am so sold on these that I am fairly shoe I'm going to buy a second buy so I know they will be waiting for me once these are all "hiked out".

I feel at home in Altra hiking shoes, enjoying the freedom of the wide toe box and confidence of the soles that don't slip in rocks and roots.

These shoes arrived one day before I left for an Arizona hiking trip. I wore them with Smartwool medium hiking socks and hiked 4 to 5 miles per day on moderate Arizona hiking trails for five days in a row and my feet felt great the entire time! This shoe is very lightweight, has a rugged, flexible sole and wide toe box which accommodated my bunions.

Much better experience hiking in these, no knee pain at all. Very happy with my purchase.

These LP 5 shoes fit marginally better than my LP 4.5 pair, which pinches across the arch just a smidge. These don’t pinch, but are so tight as to make me worry that they could. I wear orthotics for my high arches and supination. These shoes definitely help my overall foot health and strength, the zero drop has been like a revelation, and the wide toe boxes are nice, if not as roomy as I’d hoped.
