Customer Reviews Altra LP Alpine

These might be the perfect hikers for people with wide feet. They are very comfortable and supportive yet too wide for my medium width feet. At first I thought that I must have been sent a wide width by mistake (nope). I recently bought the lone peak 5 and feel that the Insoles in the LP Alpine have more spring in them and the soles are slightly firmer (which I liked). Unfortunately I will be sending them back as there is no way for me to keep my foot secure without pulling the laces tight and scrunching-up the top fabric. The length is ample and comparable to the lone peaks.

So comfortable! Overall low volume shoe w wide toe box/no pressure on metatarsals, still fits small heel area. Cute-looking, wear w any pants.

I've never had shoes like this. My husband swears by Altra, so I thought I would give them a try. I'm mostly a dog walker on concrete/asphalt, and my feet and legs fatigue easy but no serious problems. I wear between 7.5 - 8, and purchased the black in 8. I think the 7.5 would have been too short. I liked them so much that I purchased the taupe color too.

Right out of the box and every day since, 5-6 miles walking my dog and moving through life...have been thinking of getting another color, I like them so much...

These shoes were perfect for my Utah hikes in Moab, Zion, and Bryce Canyon. I love them! They gripped the boulders and bounced over rocks on the trail. If they have some waterproof boots, I buy them for NW hikes.

I walk a lot, but I have problems with hammertoes and other foot issues. Therefore, I am in constant search for shoes I can wear comfortably. I'm Pleased to report I just returned from a month in Spain, easily walking 5 or more miles daily, and I am in love with these shoes. The original footprint sole creates a roomy toe box and it made all the difference. As a bonus, this Alpine style was dressy enough to wear into even into high end Madrid restaurants. Only complaint is the shoe laces. For some reason, even double knotted, they come loose. Seems there should be a simple solution there?

I love these shoes! One of my big toe's has such bad arthritis that the cartilage is now gone, and I ripped ligaments in that next toe, needless to say I need a wide/ deep pocket to walk on. These fit perfectly on my messed up feet.

Depending on the style, I wear size 8.5 or 9 in Altra shoes. The 8.5 in this style fit. I have a very wide forefoot and narrow mid foot and heel.... Yep, like a duck! I marked the width as being true to size, but most people would find it too wide. I can lace it tighter, yet still have room for my toes, neuroma and bunions... oh, what a relief!!! The only thing I would do different would be to add an arch support, as these have none. I can deal with no arch support as long as I don't have the burning pain from neuromas being pinched too tight. I wish Altra would branch out into dress street shoes as athletic shoes aren't always appropriate.

I love the shoe comfort but the canvas wore out at the toe bend and there is a hole now. Still tons of life left on the shoeexcept for the hole.

I can't give this shoe and company enough good reviews! My brother got me started with Altra shoes as my feet always hurt. Shoes if this brand have taken care of that! But, recently, my last pair tore up.. and my foot pain returned. I ordered a pair of this style, then after talking to my brother, realized my last were still under warranty. Altra got back to me within hours approving my warranty claim, and I ordered a second pair of this same style. Here's what I like: They are comfortable.. I think the best of all if the styles I've tried. In just a day or two my foot pain had totally disappeared again. ! I appreciate that they are a quality shoe. The sole looks and feels to be great quality and nice tread. It will be perfect to hike in the mountains as well as to continue working on my feet all day as a homemaker cooking, cleaning and caring for my large family. The leather and canvas are also beautiful quality. I can't give this shoe enough good reviews. I absolutely love the color of the lavender and grey pair. The others I ordered, the taupe, are not the same color as they appeared online on my phone screen.. but a dark grey/w greenish hue. I haven't decided if I like the color on these.. but the comfort is still over the top!

All leather work shoe best I've ever worn. Thank you!

My toes finally aren't crunched together. Original Fit all the way. I wish you'd partner with someone who makes dress shoes, booties, etc., and that you'd have more stylish colors and patterns (ex. all white, all black).

This is already my second pair as i wear them so often i wanted to get another color for some variety. They are incredibly comfortable and had no break in period. I was worried the light color would get dirty faster than my grey pair, but so far i've been able to brush off any dirt and it has been fine. By far my favorite shoes.

These are working out great for me. I've had other Altras but these seem the best so far. Whether a shoe works for you is pretty individual to your feet I think -my feet are pretty flat and wide at the toe end and kind of big overall. I think I favor the original foot shape which these have. These shoes seem so much more substantial than the others I had and more cushy, but not too. If I had any complaints about Altras before, it was that they seemed flimsy and wore quickly. These seem to be made of more durable stuff - more canvas than thin nylon, thicker suede-like panels at the toes vs rubber, lots of reinforced lace eyelets with the top-most having a metal ring. They fit really well out of the box. They might be heavier than other Altras I've had, but I will use them mostly for road and trail walking, so that's not much of an issue. I really like these.

Wanted to love them. Nice looking shoe, love the color and the suede accent, love the roomy toe box Too much toe spring relative to too much cushion made me feel like my toes were perched over a cliff - not what I expect or want from a minimalist shoe. Maybe a larger size is more comfortable but I wear a 7 and the feeling of standing on a cliff edge is very pronounced. I don't think toe spring belongs in a minimalist shoe anyway.

These are comparable to the old lone peaks! They are so comfortable upon first wear! I have been searching for comfortable wide toe zero drop shoes ever since they stopped making the old lone peaks. The new regular lone peaks are not comfortable for my feet. But these!!! these are so comfortable! They are awesome!. For reference I have super wide feet, flat feet and a bunion on 1 foot. They are perfect.

I read reviews before I ordered that said they ran a bit big. I ordered my true size and they are perfectly roomy for slightly thicker winter socks. I have wide feet, love a roomier toe box, and zero drop shoes. These shoes are perfectly all that! I got a a pink pair for Christmas. They were instantly comfortable and I have worn them every day since!

Perfectly comfy right out of the box and for all-day wear on multiple days in a row walking. YES! I hope Altra never stops making these.

I'm back on this site to order a second pair of the Women's LP Alpine. I love these shoes and they feel fantastic, a thing I never get to say. With narrow heels, bunions, and second toe pain, I'm hard to fit. But these shoes? I wear them all the time--hiking, hanging out, to work, to walk, to play. Roomy toe box that lets my toes work, no heel slip, good grips on the sole, not too much padding (that makes my feet go numb). They even look cool. Please, Altra, don't discontinue this style! You've got other shoes I like, too, but these are the best.

I will be trekking in Bhutan in September and bought these shoes to try out for that purpose. Turns out I made the right call. The fit is good with my insoles added and they are comfortable all day.

I have bought 9, yes, pairs of these shoes! Please never discontinue this style! My L4 is slipped in front of my L5, and these shoes help me survive teaching on my feet each day. I do have one request. PLEASE bring back the darker grey/black color. The light grey color is too light with darker pants, and the darker color hides dirt and spots well. These shoes are a lifesaver.

Please restock SAND in Women and Men. Many prefer the subtle look of your tan and neutral tones. Also, prefer the street shoe look of this style rather than the stark contrast of upper and white lower that resembles a club foot.
