Customer Reviews Altra Lone Peak All-Wthr Low

All my other Altra Lone Peaks have been 8.5. I had to return these for the 8's. Next time I'll order both and return the ones that don't fit. Otherwise, I like that they come up a bit higher than the previous model. Have not yet tested their water resistance. The previous model it was pretty poor. But love Altra brand!

The waterproof version fits differently and a bit smaller than the regular version. I would have just exchanged them for a 1/2 size up but I tried that larger size in store and did not like them. They are not nearly as comfortable in terms of the fit and cushioning as the regular lone peak. A bummer.

I really wanted to like these because they are zero drop, but unfortunately the water proofing technology makes the walls of the shoes very stiff and not conform to your feet (at least when I tried them on at home). I felt like the heel kept slipping. I'm normally a 7.5W in women's shoes, 8s for running/hiking, plus wiiiide feet bc of a bunion on my right foot (23.5 cm long x 10.25 cm wide!). The 7.5 fit my foot with thin athletic socks, but I had the slipping problem and could have been too tight once my feet swell. The 8 was roomy and comfortable, but because of the stiff walls, I felt like my bunion was being irritated ever so slightly. The laces are also the slippery round kind with no grip to each other, so they would need reinforcement. I tried the regular Lone Peak in a store and was amazed at how perfectly they fit my feet and did not hurt my bunion at all because the fabric is so soft/flexible. The 8 felt a tad too long, but with thicker socks, they would be good. The 7.5 felt secure and snug, but may feel too tight after a long day. I plan to use the Lone Peak as my hiking shoes and opt for wool or waterproof socks.

I was disappointed with the fit of the Altra lone Peak for me. My toe hit the end but the toe box was super roomy with plenty of width. It was just weird for me so sadly they will go back. Cute style and colors!

I gave it 3 stars for running small. I have the Lone Peak 6 in white that I bought at REI and they ran 1/2 size small for me. Wear an 8 but had to get 8 1/2 because they were a little short. I read a review on these shoes saying they ran big so I ordered an 8 and it was way too small. I exchanged for 8 1/2 and still too small. I just returned them as Zappos wouldn’t let me exchange again. I wanted them for fall and winter and I have the white for spring and summer. Since they are similar to the lone peak 6 I know they will be super comfortable for a whole day of walking and touring.
