I bought these for work, they're very comfortable and stylish. The soles have white flecks all over them, I don't know why. I ended up buying another pair of Altras for work because these are not nonslip. These will become my everyday shoes. Love Altras, these are good shoes.

Having problems w/ Capsulitis/Neuroma & cannot find shoes that don't hurt my toe. Going to Yosemite and need hiking shoes. I have a narrow foot and was skeptical about width. Laced them up with a runner's loop, comfortable and no heel slippage. Wore them right out of the box, went shopping for hours and NO pain! I can't wait to try them on a practice trail.

I have owned nearly 20 pairs of Altras over the past 8 years, and always a size 11. This is the first time an 11 has been both too long and too wide; the fabric bunches when I tighten the laces. Note, I have bunions and therefore a wide forefoot, but these are still too wide. I'm returning for a 10.5, which will fix the length problem, but width could still be an issue.

They really did not hold up considering the price. I found that they caused my feet to collapse out. As much as I wanted to love these shoes. I will be trying other things.

This is the 2nd pair of Altras that I have purchased that fall apart in less than 1 year with moderate use. The top material by the toe is so cheap, holes appeared in both pairs. For a pricey shoe, i feel that is unacceptable.

I use these for everyday shoes and my walks. I had to return the Olympus 5s because they were not the same as the fantastic Olympus 4s. Not enough cushion ans are stiff. Bought the Lone Peaks with hope. I will keep them but they don't help my feet problems. I have Mortons neuroma and a ha.mer to. The old Olympus did the job.

Beautiful shoe but it's got way too much cushioning for a person who is used to and prefers minimalist shoes. The outsize cushioning makes the (needless) toe roll feel that much more pronounced. I don't trust that the thin canvas forefoot will hold up in looks or performance, either.

The bottom actually feels too thick, and feels clunky on my feet. The last two pairs I got of the lone Peak. Both had a terrible squeak, so I'm afraid I might go to another brand

I love how these look, but they have (or at least my pair has) a purely decorative eyelet at the top--no hole. But I really need that hole!

After reading the amazing reviews I was very hopeful this shoe would work out. Compared to the regular altra lone peak the materials felt very stiff and too bulky. The tongue was stiff and rubbed my foot - it hurt. It might be OK for a very wide foot with some break in time.
I'd also recommend:

These fit me perfectly, and were so comfortable out of the box. Was replacing an older pair of Altras that I wore into the ground. I was excited to find this style with more understated coloring - I don't love all the loud/sporty sneaker colors. But some of the stitching looked loose, and the materials didn't look sturdy. Seemed like they wouldn't last a year. I returned them because it didn't seem like the quality matched the price.

Disappointed that the photos show this shoe being black, but they are really a dusty grey.

I tried these because I love my Lone Peak 6s so much. However, I didn't prefer the footbed cushioning, the fabric or how the shoe bent while walking. The reviews are excellent, so I am unusual, but prefer the LPs. I returned this product.

I am grateful to Zappos for sending so many pairs for me to try on my cranky feet. Altra is not a brand I have tried before. They are too stiff for me with no sympathetic cushion. I’ve given up on cute which is good since these are not. Back to Topo for me.

Because of good reviews, I was hoping these would work as well for me but, alas, they're going back. There is so much room in the toe box, it offered no support for the front of my foot at all. If your foot is exactly the shape of these shoes, I bet they're amazing. But if you have a different shape, I can't see how it will work. Going back, thank you Zappos!

I haven't actually worn them yet as I'm not sure that the size will work. I have several pair of Altra shoes and these are the first ones that seem to big.

I've had to get used to how they feel on my feet because of the pitch which I'm not used to but they felt comfortable on the foot after wearing them for a full day I found that I had calf pain and I'm trying to get used to this hoping that it's just some thing that my body has to adjust to. I cannot wear them every day at this point

I own several pairs of Altra Lone Peak 6 & love their wide toe box & design that does not cause my heel to be elevated. i am so happy to have found out about this brand. I am not a hiker, wear Altra Lone Peak 6 daily. Unfortunately, the Altra LP Alpine (subject of this review) did not work out for me. I was tired at the end of the day & had minor shin splints. Since I already knew that Altra shoes are washable (in the washing machine), I washed them, let them air dry for about 24 hours, then donated them to Goodwill. I am posting this review to let everyone know that Altra shoes look great but do not all have a design that works out.

I received these 1day ago. I wore these shoes for about two hours in the house after receiving them. I wore them for approximately 5 to 6 hours today. The thread is already coming loose from one of the tongs, and the inside liner of both shoes is coming unglued near the edges. I will be returning these for a replacement. Very dissatisfied with this happening as this is my first pair of these shoes after having foot surgery and needed a wide toebox. Altta was recommended by my podiatrist that did surgery. The shoe feels great and is extremely comfortable. It is probably one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I sure hope the replacement will not come apart.

These shoes fit and I enjoyed the wider toe box, but the grippy soles caused me to trip in my home, leading to stumbles and eventually a fall. I hope to find Altra shoes without this grippy sole.

I have really benefitted from wearing Escalantes around the house. They have eliminated lower back pain and foot pain. So I wanted to try an Altra shoe for wearing outdoors. The sock-like fit of the Escalante doesn't happen with the Alpine. It is stiff and clunky and hurts my ankles, so I've returned the shoes, and hope to find another style that works better for me.

I really wanted these to work. I have the Lone Pine trail shoe which I love and wanted something less sporty. The footbed is so comfortable and cushioned for my old feet. But as noted in another review, the width is noticeably wider and sloppy. And the heel is not as snug and hugging as my trail shoes. So too much play for me.

Had to send them back the same day after wearing them on the carpet. Pinch my right big toe and arch support hurts insides of my feet.
