ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoe

I love these shoes. Listen, the world doesn't have to live in extremes. My feet need low-drop, but not barefoot-thin soles. I want my shoes to be lightweight, but not paper-thin. I want them to look ok with shorts or jeans, but not scream beast-mode. These are flippin' awesome. Very comfortable, decent cushioning and decent arch support. I weight 225lbs, I wore them through a summer vacation trip to Washington, SO MUCH walking, and these shoes were comfortable and supportive throughout. After that, they became running shoes, and they've served me for a dozen runs at 3-4 miles each, I have zero complaints. BTW, a few of those were on dirt and gravel, and these shoes performed admirably; good traction, and roots don't hurt. Fit is accurate, I wear 13 in Nike, Vans, Ecco, Bass, and these. Toe box is just a smidge roomy. The only critique I have (8 months into ownership) is that they take stains pretty fast. It's my own fault for wearing them to wash pots and pans... but just a few splatters of dishwashing water, and they're stained forever. Still, I would absolutely recommend these to a friend, and/or buy them again.

These are great hiking shoes and I use them when landscaping around the yard. Helps minimize my Morton's neuroma numbness and pain since it has a large toe box. True to size fit. Nothing bad about the lone Peak 8 shoe model. The only thing that's bad about the company (Altra) is they run out of shoes fast (especially my size 14). I learned my lesson with the Escalante 4's (also a great shoe model) when I bought them to try them out and then loved them... but when I went back to purchase another pair the Escalante's they were all out of my size. So what did I do when I read the favorable views on the Lone Peak 8? I bought 2 pairs in my size without waiting to try them out. Once again, great comfort with that larger toe box for my aging 45 year feet. I only wish I had ordered a third pair to get me through the year before the lone peak 9's come out since I'm pretty rough with the wear and tear I put on my shoes (and body for that matter)... when I went back online to order them a couple months later, they were sold out in my size... again, lol! If you haven't looked at trying Altra, I'd give them a chance and make a run at them.... pun intended. They're great for folks on their feet all day like folks working in a hospitality/restaurant job, hospital, packaging/parcel job, etc.... and off course running, walking and hiking.

Really enjoying these for trail running. They’re light grippy on dirt and snow. Wide toe box gives feet room to breathe.

Well made, very little support. Not a trail shoe! More of a comfortable casual sneaker

Great shoes at good price. Wide toe box good for Morton’s neuroma but 0 heel not good for plantar fasciitis.

These are my favorite shoes for trail running and hiking. Hoping that Altra continues offering wide toe boxes instead of making them smaller like other brands.

Haven’t been able to hike more than a few times, but the size is just right vs being too big in comparable size in women’s. Foot pain decreased! But still always need to use my custom inserts for arch support! I wear to work for comfort and switched out laces. Great price.

the absolute most comfortable shape for my foot that i've found. cannot get more than about 6 months of wear (300-350 miles) before having to replace due to heel cushion deterioration. the padding behind the heel wears a hole and then leads to blisters. when these were ~80/each it was easy to justify (plus back then they actually lasted longer). at 120ish, man its hard. as soon as i find another acceptable toe box, i'm off of altras. in the meantime, these are my shoes.
