Altra Lone Peak 5 Women's Trail Running Shoes - AW21

Product Information

While maintaining the same stack height of 25mm, Altra have been able to increase the cushioning and durability of the midsole. When testing, we noted if we could feel any rocks underfoot or if our feet could handle miles and miles of terrain without notice. I honestly could cry finding these because they will help me finally get moving again since my injury/WFH life. Don’t worry; simply send the items back to us with details of whether you would like an exchange or refund.

We've noticed that the heel moves around, and our foot slides to the front of the shoe on the downhills, especially on steep terrain or when we get tired and forget to pay attention to running form. I live in Ukraine and hike mostly in Carpathians, here even during the summer temperature in the mountains mostly stay between 50 and 60 and I never experience “roasting” ), yes, feet sweat, but if I walk for 20+ miles a day, they do in the sandals as well. It utilizes a zero drop design, meaning there is no extra cushioning in the heel relative to the forefoot. This shoe is best for those that like a little cushion underfoot and are, or intend to become, a mid or forefoot striker.Perfect amount of cushion, nice stiff outsole (for now, I hate when shoes are too flexible out of the box), and fantastic fit around the mid-foot and forefoot. Altra EGO Midsole The biggest update in the Lone Peak 5 is the introduction of the EGO in the midsole.

Foot-shaped toe box - allows for toes to relax and spread out naturally for more comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents. The Altra Lone Peak 5 is a classic trail runner boasting a foot-shaped, zero drop design with a wide forefoot.

In the occasion where we are unable to find a manufacturing fault we may ask for a second opinion from the relevant brand. After a broken ankle, I've struggled with every other pair of shoes because they would cause lateral cramping, medial arch cramping, heel pain, toe pad pain, shin splints, and have been so challenging to try and walk in (3 different types of Merrill's, Sketchers, barefoot shoes, Nikes, Keens, and probably more).

We tested this shoe over snowy slush, mixed with rocks and mud, as well as on trails that varied in steepness around Ouray, Colorado, and Arizona, where steep switchbacks, hills, and rocky singletrack is the norm. An upgraded MaxTrac™ outsole offers stickiness and grip underfoot while an Altra EGO™ midsole helps achieve the perfect combination of responsiveness and comfort. This hook-and-loop tab allows our strapless gaiter to easily attach to the shoe, adding protection against rocks and debris. Designed for trail runs over any terrain with features like the MaxTrac outsole and the TrailClaw canted lugs.
