The wide toe box is a game changer. Also helps that I bought shoes that actually fit my feet.

New favorite trail runner, improved upper! More secure.
Zach · Jul 31, 2023
5/5
Overall
I've worn several iterations of the Lone Peak before and although they've always been really comfortable, I've found that the upper of the shoe is too loose for me on technical terrain. My foot would sometimes feel like it would slide or spill off the sole creating potentail for rolling my ankle. The new update seems to have solved this. The upper feels more secure and gives me confidence on rugged terrain. There also seems to be improvements to the sole and tread of the shoes where it seems to last longer and be more durable.

Astra feels great but wears out too fast
Ralph Havens · Jul 30, 2023
4/5
Overall
Altras are great. Lone peak runs great on trails but the lugs are too far apart in the heel resulting in excessive wear on our road to gravel trails. If we could get them with more rubber around the heel they'd be great. Also the sizing is hit or miss. Sometimes a 9 1/2 works other times it's too big or small even in the same shoe size and style and color. Quite odd.
