For me, Altra Lone Peak 4's are extremely comfortable, highly functional walking and hiking shoes. Why? Well padded, supportive footbed. Good arch support, but not too much. Wide toe box, making for great comfort at front of foot. Really greatretentive heel, and the shoe laces up firmly over middle of foot (so no forward sliding into that roomy toebox, and no sliding off at the heel). Very grippy sole, including in the wet. I personally have had no issue with the zero drop design -- I find it works as a natural walking 'rolling' motion for me. The result is a shoe that stays firmly on the foot, goes uphill and downhill very well and has sustained comfort and support for walking, even on hard surfaces.

I am one of the first people in the UK to own the Lone Peak 4 and really glad I managed to get hold of a pair. I got them from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and have to say I am really pleased with them. I own a pair of Altra Superior 3.5's and a pair of Saucony Peregrine 8's. The reason I selected the Lone Peaks is that I liked the idea of zero drop trail shoes with lots of cushioning and support. They certainly provide comfort as I walk/power hike across the South Down in them. I use the shoes with DryMax or Stance socks and together they are a great combination. I haven't ran the trails with them yet and am looking forward to getting them on for training runs. They are slightly large,

I transition to the Altra Lone Peak 4 from a traditional hiking shoe (merrell moab 2). For those that don't know this is switching a basic low cut boot to a trail running shoe. Comparing them isn't useful so I won't do that here.As far as a zero drop trail runner I found these incredibly comfortable. I have never found a trail shoe that felt good on my feet for more than 10 minutes but the lone peak seems to be the exception. I walked a few treadmill miles on them to see if they would be a good fit for them then broke them in with a 10 mile hike on the mountains to sea trail in western North Carolina.

This shoe has an excellent fit for a running shoe; the wide toe box is particularly appealing to me, as someone with slightly wide feet and many toe calluses to show for it. The shoe features a very comfortable zero drop sole with great outsole grip for the trail. I have yet to put many miles into it, although with my limited weekend trail runs spent in the Lone Peak’s, I can say they feel great and (as any good running shoe should) do not require any break in period.Personally, I was deciding between a size 10 and a size 10.5 US, ultimately choosing my true size 10. I was quite happy with this decision as the fit is very unconstricted,

Full support in the heel and midfoot, wide enough in the toebox to wiggle your toes. The zero drop (no lift in the heel) makes a huge difference in comfort as well.If you watch thru-hiker videos, you'll see a huge number of them use these shoes to walk across the nation. You see the foot logo on the bottom of so many of their shoes. If they trust these with their feet for that kind of activity, you can certainly trust them to get you where you need to go.The story of the design of these shoes is kind of cool. A young entrepreneur seeing trail runners come into his father's shoe store with many of the same foot problems. He decided to design a shoe that solved those problems.

The toe box and zero drop features are why I got into Altra, but of their trail shoes, the LonePeak 4.0 is the best of the bunch. One note up front - they run a half size smaller than most shoes. These already have more than 250 miles and show no signs of breaking down. I've run on wooded trails, up the Alps, in the snow, on rocks, in mud and sand - they plow through it all. The outsole does a good job with traction and absorbing some of the shock so your feet don't feel like they're taking a beating. For disclosure, I run with a carbon fiber insert because my feet are nearly flat, so this also helps a lot but the shoes have plenty of room for them. I've had Hoka's that fell apart within 50 miles,

I bought these shoes to replace my Old Lone Peaks. They’re sole-ly (ha) hiking shoes. I finally got to really break them in on the Fiery Gizzard down in TN.They fit comfortably and performed well. There were rock scrambles, stream crossings, ankle-deep mud holes, flooded areas, steep climbs and descents on which to put them to the test.They dried quickly when I got them wet, which was several times. The mud flakes right off when they’re dry, and I only had to re-tie them once.The grip is well designed, too. I didn’t slide around quite as easily as I did with other shoes on the same trail in similar conditions.I’m thinking about buying a couple more pairs before they run out.

I tend to prefer shoes that don't call attention to themselves. Give me brown, or black or grey. Sporting the (what I consider) garish neon blue color of the LP4 is a very small price to pay for the outlandish comfort of these shoes. I wore them all day on an outing in Orlando last month and I plan on wearing them all day again tomorrow ...walking all over downtown Chicago. I'm prepping for some hiking in Colorado and trying to get my feet used to the 0 degree drop. So far, I've noticed little discomfort due to that but other reviews have warned to 'ease into wearing these' ... so I am.I am amazed that I can wear a size 8.5 in this shoe . Much shorter than any other shoe I've purchased in the last 30 years.

I like that they go on my feet. If I had to put it on my hands it would be weird. They definitely don't fit on your knees. You can probably sit on them and they would be comfortable but I don't believe that's the best news. Ever since I discovered my first pair of ultra's I have purchased nothing else.I work on my feet all day as an electrician I wear these shoes at work I also wear these shoes to run hills. Who in their right mind wears anything else? Do you know who? People that have never tried them on.I think i've returned one pair to Amazon because of how I miss judged my size....Other than that, every pair I've ordered from Amazon has put a huge smile on my face.

This is my latest pair of trail runners in a very long line of trail runners, but my first pair of Altras and will be my brand of choice from now on. I actually use them for work and not running, but they have been the best pair of sneakers I’ve ever had. I work in a home improvement warehouse and spend my days walking many miles on concrete floors and have liked trail runners for their chunky soles and (mostly) durable upper shoe, but nothing has compared to the comfort and strength of this sneaker. I have wide flat feet and have had issues with foot pain from being on concrete all day, so the wide toe box gives my foot enough room to breathe and the zero drop sole has just about eliminated the pain in my heels and balls of my feet!

I marked this product as being a little wider than normal for my review but that is not a problem at all as I have wide feet. Someone with very narrow feet that has to have a narrow shoe to be comfortable may not like these shoes but they are perfect for me. I bough these because they are what practically all of the thru hikers I have watched on YouTube wear. They are also the top rated shoe for outdoor gear lab which has never let me down. And for good reason. When you slip your foot into these shoes you’ll likely be taken back by how comfortable they are. I know I was. Been wearing them around town and I honestly forget that I have feet that’s how good they feel.

Coming from Asics Scram Gel trail shoes, I had high expectations of the Altra Lone Peak 4. When they first arrived, the construction seems solid, I like the wide toe box, drain ports, and of course zero drop.I initially started using these shoes on short trail runs (3-5 miles) to get used to the zero drop, and have been building up miles. During back to back long runs, the ball of my feet and knees really started hurting. Upon inspection of the insoles, I noticed how flimsy they were. I compared the insoles to my older Altra one v3 and there is a big difference. It seems Altra skimped on the LP4 insoles.After replacing the insoles with Sof Sole Airr Insoles,

My second pair of Altras. The fit is identical to the Altra Lone Peak 3. There is slightly less padding in the upper, which is a plus. For a summer shoe, I prefer less thickness in the upper for breath-ability. The sole is less squishy so is more stable when running along a slope. The lugs are taller than the 3 for better traction, though can feel them through the soles; don't know if that is a problem yet. Drainage hole locations are better situated. They have a better fit around the ankles than previous. The previous pair suffered premature mid sole collapse even though the uppers and bottom soles are in good shape. The forefoot and heal thickness was reduced over time so the arch became to high to wear comfortably.

This shoe is perfect for my needs. I use it to wade into lakes/rivers in the BWCA for entering/exiting a kevlar canoe and then hiking between lakes while carrying gear. The shoe fits my feet, wider toes, and has excellent traction in wet conditions. It is very lightweight yet protects my feet from sharp rocks and branches. The shoe drains water well and dries quickly. I suppose I would appreciate a better debris guard to keep little pebbles and mud out of my feet but the shoe wasn't designed for that so other solutions are possible. My last trip I portaged over 23 miles and used this shoe exclusively with very favorable results. When this shoe is worn out, I will purchase another pair,

I have a crazy high arch and run on the balls of my feet for the most part. I love love love the open, wide toebox so much I immediately ordered another pair to wear as my work boots!I have run approximately 18 miles since I got them last week. Tonight my son and I hiked up to a local fire tower and we found the trail to be muddy and then snow-covered! We both wore running shoes, me in the Altras. Our feet were soaked but I was amazed at the grip I had on this fast-hike/trail run with a 50# pack. Cleaned them up as soon as we got home and they are drying now!Hope Altra begins offering more shoes in 14 because i’m Hooked. Being 6’4” 240, I need to have as much room for my foot to splay out as I can get!
