Customer Reviews Altra Lone Peak 6

I've been wearing these for 6 months and they have become my go to shoe. They allow my toes to spread out. I have to size up 1/2 size and buy wide. I just wish there were more color and shoe options for wides.

I have been searching for so long for a sneaker that lets my feet spread comfortably! So glad I gave these a try! Very comfortable fit. They do feel low and can feel the trail hazards, but also feels pretty stable. Not as grippy as some other sneakers but performed well on the muddy and wet trails today!

I have a wide toe box and find it hard to find a shoe that I can hike in or wear all day. These shoes are amazing. They fit like a dream, they are comfortable right out of the box. I've worn them hiking around the States and they have never failed me. I love that they are a nice grip but also I can feel the ground beneath the shoe. They are sturdy but flexible. However, they wear out extremely quickly. After one hike, not even a long strenuous hike, you will note fabric fraying. I've put very little use into my current pair and they look like they've seen a lot of action. For the price of these, you would hope they could put more effort into the quality of fabric. I'm not sure I will continue to buy these.

I walk daily through Fairmount Park, Philadelphia trails. The traction is good, the shapefor the toe box is great. The width of the shoe is a little much. I tie laces tight and still am sliding in them a little.

I love love love these shoes. I am on my third pair of the lone peaks. My only gripe is it seems I have to buy a new pair ever 4-6 months. I barely get to run 100 miles in them. (Yes, I only wear for running and have walking shoes.) Although I keep purchasing because they are the best. Please figure out how to keep the cushioning last a little longer. My wallet needs the support!

I have to overtighten the laces to tie these with a heel lock. I wish they were a few inches longer.

The soles only last about 100 miles before they are too packed out. Would like to see materials that hold up longer to reduce waste and environmental impact. Shoes seem to be getting more narrow (lone peak) I now have to buy a wide with only one color option. Please consider offering more color options in wide. I've been buying Altra for at least 8 years. Would like to see them go back to designs and fit which were originally created. Also seems like the sizing changed. I now have to order size 11. Please consider bringing back a more quality shoe with quality materials. A made in USA design would be optimal :)

Often people complain an item is 'not as pictured' but in this case while the color is labeled red/gray it is not. It is exactly as pictured. Just in case someone has their heart set on real red shoes..like me. Still a great shoe. I love Altras.

This shoe takes weight off the balls of my feet and rebalances me. My orthotics fit great and there's lots of room for my hammer toes. If I'd had these shoes 30 years ago (I'm 76), my feet would be in better shape and I'd probably have less knee and back discomfort. Love them and plan to buy more!

I LOVE the Lone Peaks and recommend them to all of my friends and fam. I think they're most versatile shoe out there and I can trust them on any terrain. They are always my go-to when I travel and can't pack my entire shoe collection lol. They're grip are not as good as they Olympus.. maybe a Vibram sole in the future?? Not that the grip is bad, just less trusty on wet rocks/roots than the shoes with Vibram. I usually wear an 8.5 but had to size down to 8 in the new model! Otherwise they feel pretty similar to the 5s to me! Lone Peaks are my go-to shoe - great for short and long distance, cushioned enough to prevent foot fatigue but still allows you to feel a connection with the ground. Stoked about the new colors too :) reds are back!!

I usually wear either a 8.5 or 9 W in women's shoes. I have a wide forefoot, narrow heel, and high arch. I prefer a high volume shoe due to the high arch and orthotic use. In the Lone Peak 6, a size 9 is a good fit, however this is not a high volume shoe in terms of midfoot, arch, and toe depth. So I can wear a lightweight sock, but not a winter weight sock. I cannot use my standard orthotic in this shoe, must use a very thin orthotic. I found the 9 W to be a sloppy loose fit on my foot so 9 it was. The shoe is very comfortable and my little toe does not rub on the outer edge, like with regular shape shoes. The right heel rubbed in an odd way for about a week, then it became comfortable. This was true with another pair of Lone Peak 6s as well. I wear it for walking on trails, dirt roads, in the yard, and occasionally around town. I wish the Altra website would say which shoes are higher volume. I cannot say much about customer service. I ordered an 8.5 originally, sent it back immediately because it was too small. It was received by Altra's shipping agent over 6 weeks ago per shipper tracking verification, well within the 30 day timeframe, and I have yet to receive a credit to my card. I have asked customer service for assistance and have been waiting for some time for a response. For this reason I doubt I will order directly from Altra again. Get on the ball, folks.

I walk these shoes on pavement, dirt and coarse gravel roads. The sole wears down WAY before the rest of the shoe. A Vibram soled-version would be A-1! What I love: Foot shape shoe, zero-rise, cushioning.

Comfortable shoe but I feel every pebble, every rock. Not much support in heel. Am worried about that, as I'm walking across Spain in a few months. May have to return these for a more substantial fit. Great for walking up and down my mountain for a half hour, but what I need, well, the count is still out.

Most comfortable shoe I have ever put on. I have bunions so my foot is wide so this review is for the "wide" sizing. I resisted buying these though because the color (old lady blue) is not going to match anything I have and I want to wear these shoes all the time. I wish they came in black with white sole or maybe dark gray. The men's color options are a bit more neutral.

Usually Altra's Lone Peak's toe box is wide on regular width but for this Lone Peak 6, the toe box is narrow than all previous Lone Peaks, even it's a little shorter too. The coral color is very orange, not much selection of color though. The horizontal loop on the back doesn't help anything, it's hard to put finger in the lope, please bring back the vertical loop. Overall is still comfy but I no longer can wear thicker socks in winter because of the toe box is narrow.

The 6 feels slightly more narrow than the 5. As always, it wouldn't hurt if the shoe had some arch support but overall it's a great shoe. It's comparable to the 5 ...slightly more narrow and a different lacing pattern.

Bought these after LOVING my Timp-3s. First run in them was an easy 11 miler. Felt great, perhaps slightly too big. Next run was a 5+ mile speed workout. It felt like nails were being driven into my 5th metatarsal heads. So painful, I couldn't walk properly for days.
