I got these shoes on my way out of the country to visit Ghana. The sales associate said he owned a pair and thought they were great. He claimed the shoes kept his feet dry. It rains a lot in Alaska, so I trusted his recommendation. What a big mistake. Not only did they not keep my feet dry. I wasn't marching through rivers. I avoided water, but it rained a lot and yes, I expected to get wet. However, soaked socks are not fun at the start of a hike. Not only did my feet get wet, but the traction/grip was poor. Fair at best. I found myself slipping a lot on dry hikes. Or just walking around the yard. But what got me every time were the hook rivets for the laces. Without fail, the hooks would snag the laces of the other shoe or anything I was walking through, and down ... MoreI got these shoes on my way out of the country to visit Ghana.

No broken bones or anything, but this past weekend I was hiking a pretty steep trail, and on my way down, I almost busted my peach several times. I decided I would wear them again. They're too dangerous for me.

I have exclusive worn Altras for a few years now . I have a variety of colors and most are Lone Peaks . As usual I needed to replace a pair , so my wife picked them up for me . I wore them the next day and noticed they were very tight ,width wise, and assumed they might relax with a few hours of wear . After a short time my feet hurt horribly at my bunion and the pain spread into the rest of my foot . Altras reign is over for me . I took them back and tried on other ones available and was shocked to find Altras aren’t the same shoe anymore . I just ordered two pair of Vivobarefoot from Europe and hope they are as advertised . Wish me luck . I got the Vivobarefoot shoes and they certainly aren’t for everyone . I have worn them and so far , Great .

The one positive in this redesigned Lone Peak All Weather Mid is the mid-sole. The Ego foam is comfy and responsive underfoot. The rest of the shoe is a total disaster...Not even close to waterproof: With rain pants secured to the lower laces for good overlap w/ the mid-top, these still wet out in minutes. The wetness come through the fabric and seams, even while the mid-tops hidden inside my rain pants remain dry. They are like a one-way valve, letting water in, but not out. The shoes provide a shortcut to trench foot in wet conditions. An open-mesh shoe that can drain would keep your feet less wet.Remarkably fragile: After one 4-day backpacking trip, the soles showed as much wear as I'd expect from weeks or months of use. The fabric abraded after the first ... MoreThe one positive in this redesigned Lone Peak All Weather Mid is the mid-sole. The Ego foam is comfy and responsive underfoot.

Compared to Topo's Vibram, or Salewa's Pomoca, or La Sportiva's Frixion, or Scarpa's Presa, these "Max Grip" soles are anything but grippy - they are precariously slippery. The problem is the rubber compound, not the tread pattern. If the dirt is perfect and soft, the tread shapes will bite. On rocks, roots, or anything wet, the rubber provides the worst grip of any sole I've tried in years.Terrible ankle lacing system: The ankle eyelets are positioned right over the ankle bones. The fabric folds make the ankle pressure even worse. The only way to make these shoes work is to only lace them like a low-top, meaning the high-top uppers are just dead weight.Do you self a favor and do not buy this "all-weather" mid-top version. So many problems. For cushy walks on pavement or low-gradient dry trails, the low-top, fully-breathable version is probably fine. I love light footwear in steep terrain, but do not take these to the mountains.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I bought these for a 5 day backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon. I wore them a little bit before the trip, but certainly could have worn them more. I was a little nervous that I would get blisters since I only was able to put 10-15 miles on the shoes before the trip, but the shoes were comfortable the whole way. They fit perfectly, had just the right amount of traction, and are super light. I didn't even need to take them off at night at camp, the camp shoes I brought were never used. I can't speak for the longevity of the shoes, I know others have expressed dissatisfaction. I wear them all the time now as my winter boots and they are holding up great.
Pros: The most comfortable hiking shoe I've tried, very light too. Wide toe box is perfect for my foot shape. No blisters after hours of steep up and down hiking.Cons: The comfort doesn't last because of the one way faucet that this fabric is. Absolutely drinks water. Chugs it. Lets no sweat or moisture out either. Wet grass will leave your foot soaked, let alone a wet trail. A hot day will also leave your foot soaked, these do not breathe. If you're prone to hot feet, hot weather will make these feel like two little pots of boiling soup on your feet. Hot or wet weather will bring on the trench foot or blisters.Pretty sad since they fit so well, and since the non-waterproof version is some weird hipster taproom boot that looks like a walk to the mailbox would blow ... MorePros: The most comfortable hiking shoe I've tried, very light too.

I bought two pairs of these in the spring of 2023... used one pair used for training for the Portuguese Camino in September '23' and used the other pair (after break in) for the actual Camino walk. Walked over 400 miles using the same pair in one month and absolutely loved the boot. Never had any type of failure and the boot performed flawlessly. The boot is light weight, supportive and very comfortable. The terrain was varied but only rugged like back country Rocky Mountains in a few spots. The shoe adequately handled cobblestone streets too but there were times when I wished the sole had been a little stiffer. I normally wear a size 13 but bought 14 and they were just right. Love this boot...will buy again and would recommend for anyone contemplating distance walking.
I got a version of these a couple of years ago (2020) when they were called the Lone Peak Mid 4 RSM (for Rain/Snow/Mud, i believe). Altra seems to keep changing their naming system for newer iterations of certain shoes; not sure the the current version is effectively the "5" or if there was a version in between.My shoes are comfortable enough, and the fit is good (my usual US 11.5 is fine with a light/midweight sock). I wear them with a set of Sole brand insoles; plenty of room f or those. They still had the gaiter attachment ring at the bottom of the lace run and the velcro attachment point at the back of the heel area. Looks like the new(er) version omits those. Boo.The problems outweigh the good, though. I've really only worn them for local, neighborhood ... MoreI got a version of these a couple of years ago (2020) when they were called the Lone Peak Mid 4 RSM (for Rain/Snow/Mud, i believe).

Boo.The problems outweigh the good, though. I've really only worn them for local, neighborhood daily walks, and occasional, non-demanding woods walks for maybe a couple of hundred miles, and the somewhat stiff outer material is already developing cracks on top where the foot bends across the forefoot. And, when i wore them in a light rain, even when they were almost new, the top of my foot got wet after only about 20-30 minutes. If a waterproof shoe isn't waterproof, what's the point?I love the wide-toebox fit of the Lone Peaks, but these kinds of basic performance and durability failures have me looking elsewhere now for my hiking footwear.
My partner and I both tried the Olympus 5 (both boot and the shoe versions). We don't like how they feel: they seem to force our feet to pronate. The lacing seems to go inward (go search for a top view of the shoes) and it feels as though the soles are thicker on the outer edge of the boot / shoe. They also feel more narrow compared to other Altra models. We had to return them shortly after trying them on.For reference, if you're trying to compare different Altra models: I have wide "slope" style feet, a normal arch (not flat, not super arched) and a normal / narrower heel.Lone Peaks 7 (regular width) feel similar than the Olympus 5, but they're also a bit wider and more flexible, so I'm able to wear them.

There's sufficient space for the toes (both horizontal and vertical, no rubbing). I decided to keep that pair. I'm not sure about the material the upper is made of, it makes these odd lines when it compressed against itself when tightening the laces. I haven't worn them more than 30min at a time, but so far I still like them. I haven't tried them on slippery rocks yet.Lone Peaks 7 (wide) were just way too big for my feet. They're not juste wider at the toes and mid-foot, but also at the heel portion. My feet had a bunch of room inside to splay, but the shoe was nowhere near snug around my heel. It just flopped around.Superior 6 : true to size, very tight vertically (shoe depth). The fabric kind of creates weird folds when you tighten the laces. The fabric is also tight against the top of the toes and mid food and especially near the ball of the foot. I can't imagine running trails in these without developping blisters. For that reason, I returned these and went with the Lone Peaks 7 (regular) for the extra depth (vertical space)Escalantes 3 : true to size, super comfortable but also tight vertically around the toes and midfoot. I barely tighten the laces running up my foot. The stretchy fabric forgives this, so they're still comfortable to wear them for walking / running or for a few hours at a time. But if I wear them to work all day (I walk a lot) and my feet swell up a bit, then my feet feel crushed from the tight upper. Still, I kept that pair.
I've been walking around the Isle of Arran in these boots, which I bought specially for this trip. These boots fit my feet wonderfully. They have great traction. They are a joy, except for one thing. They aren't waterproof. Today, I had to walk through very wet grass. Within 10 seconds, my toes were wet. Within one minute, my feet were making squelching noises. I walked 11 more miles in totally wet boots. This was the 2nd time they got wet through the fabric of the boot (not deep water up by the laces). The first time it took two days to dry and I ended up walking in my running shoes. They got wet too, but they aren't supposed to be waterproof.I love the lone peak running shoes, and I would love these hikers in a dry place, but I am not loving them in Scotland.

I got to hike up Mount LeConte here in the smoky Mountians with these Lone Peak WP- very nice trip. The Lone Peaks were fun. Light, nimble, wish I had these my whole life. the tongue kept out debris well. Mine have held up well for a year now, mostly very light hikes and day hikes. I'd love to see a cleaner look- like some of your new shoes with the logo set back toward the heel- but they feel great. Sometimes, like all mid boots, i have to mess with t he tongue gusset to get it to sit right and not press on top of my foot. I didn't buy the previous version because the fabric made a popping sound as it creased and uncreased with every step- I couldn't handle it- but these didn't do that so I gave it a go and I think it's a great product, thanks.
