Altra Men's Lone Peak 6 Sneaker

Product Information

Matt: "First things first, runners should know that this shoe offers Altra's original, wide-shaped toe box. I usually wear an 11, but a 10.5 in this shoe was more than comfortable for me. The upper offered a comfortable wrap around my foot while still providing enough room for my toes to move and adjust while on the trail." We’ll get into the details below, but I think “Flat Bois” all over can take a collective breath and relax. part of this service, you will also be signed up to receive occasional special offers and third-party Running is more comfortable with the right clothing. This article highlights fabrics and features for warm weather and winter running.

MATT: I applaud Altra for staying the course with a tried and true shoe here while looking for areas to provide marginal gains. This approach should be well received by all the Lone Peak fans who will need to replace their old worn-out models.Just a few short hikes in the Lone Peak’s so far, but I am really liking them, and have relegated by almost-new Peregrine’s to the donation pile. It took a few days to feel secure in the LP6’s, with all that room midfoot and around my toes, but now I trust them. Brilliant in the wet, too. They dry super-fast. Thanks for the excellent review! Reply Even with a bed of soft cushioning and a host of protective features, the Lone Peak 6 remains lightweight and nimble. Dom: The first thing that I noticed was the more modern and stripped-down upper. The lighter upper of the LP6 results in a useful weight reduction compared to the outgoing LP5. (Drop in US M10 was 26 g per shoe, almost exactly an ounce lighter) I enjoyed the tight knit of the upper fabric. It’s breathable but keeps debris out,” says one reviewer. We can’t talk about footwear for the trail without talking about traction. On the Lone Peak 6.0, you’ll find Altra’s Grippy Max Trac outsole. Traction is about more than just being grippy. There needs to be a balance of grip, tread, and durability. And that’s exactly what Altra has done with this outsole.

It may not look like it, but this is a very cushioned shoe, and it’s because of Altra’s EGO midsole: the real gem of the Lone Peak 6.0.The toebox is almost too roomy for me. It’s not a dealbreaker and many people will love it, but I could handle less space,” one reviewer says. TAYLOR: The Lone Peak series has a great following, and for a good reason. A very natural running feel is what you’ll get from top to bottom. There is a lot of room for natural foot splay and placement, minimal cushion, and solid grip for various terrain. In some ways, it simply feels like an extension of your foot. Altra has been in the trail running business for just over 10 years, and its Lone Peaks have stolen the hearts of many. The brand started with the original Lone Peak, and now we’re up to the Lone Peak 6.0. Much like previous versions, the 6.0 is a zero-drop, mid-cushioned trail shoe, available both in both men’sand women’s. One last thing we need to touch on is durability. These are not what I’d call a “beefy” shoe. And while the 6.0 is incredibly comfortable, I have heard reports of how they tend to break down over time. Dom: That said, the usual caveats remain: this is a wide shoe that prioritizes toe comfort over foot hold. The ‘classic’ Altra last is not to everyone’s taste. Similarly it is also a zero drop shoe, which can be a jarring transition if your foot is not used to it.
