About this deal

Some laces are made from smooth material that feels good in your hands, they tend to slip and slide a bit, whereas these bad boys stay nice and tight, no double knot required! Also worth mentioning I will say that the last few models have felt mostly the same, which is usually a good thing. While I loved the 4.0 and 4.5, I started to gravitate toward other trail running shoes in my stable as the Lone Peak’s cushioning started to flatten out after about 50 to 100 miles in different models, creating an almost concave feeling. I didn’t mind putting them out to pasture too much as the Lone Peaks always are my hanging-out, camping, yard-work shoe of choice.

It seems that Altra finally granted my request from my October 2018 Lone Peak 4 review. In this review, I begged the question as to why Altra chose to continue using their A-Bound midsole foam rather than switching over to the more resilient AltraEGO midsole foam found in models like the Escalante. Personally, I think putting the AltraEGO midsole into the Lone Peak 5 has created the best Lone Peak model yet. Gaitertrap™ hook-and-loop tab secures a strapless gaiter attachment that prevents debris from building up beneath the shoe. Note, they feel narrow based on my experience wearing other Altras, not in comparison to other running shoes in general. The Lone Peak 6 Wide, like the Lone Peak 5 Wide is actually no wider than the regular width, yet has more volume in the upper to fit a higher volume foot. Depending on the shape of your foot this would make the Lone Peak 6 Wide worth a try if you usually only fit in men’s 2E/4E or women’s D/2E running shoes. If you aren’t used to shoes with a low heel to forefoot drop then it’s a good idea to gradually increase the time you spend in the shoes. This is because a lower heel to forefoot drop allows your ankles and lower legs to function more. So, you need to allow them the chance to get used to the extra movement and strengthen up. During this time it’s a good idea to alternate with your current shoes.

Altra Lone Peak 5 Outsole

On our “light test”, Altra Lone Peak 5.0 performed “worst”, letting the least amount of light out: only 12.8LUX, while the average recorded result so far is 125.6LUX. We can thank the nylon upper for this. Great lacing system fixes the heel slip The durability has shone through in the past few versions of the Lone Peak. That’s one reason these shoes are fan favorites of long-distance hikers (I should know, I blasted through a different shoe in 400km, with no option but to duct tape my feet!).

Under the insole, there’s an odd string and tape issue going on. I have no idea what this is for, but it was in both shoes. I guess don’t ask, Altra won’t tell? Maybe just don’t pull on it. MaxTrac™ A perfect combination of grip, traction, and durability that will eat up gnarly terrain like a boss. Also, I didn’t have any hot spots, but if you need to do some fancy heel-slip lacing, there was a bit of lace bite up near my ankle.

(For what it's worth, the podiatrist who trained me in hiking footwear had the same take on Altra trail running shoes.) Sadly, I quit hiking in my Lone Peaks after my second calf strain in fifty miles—after zero calf strains in my previous 10,000 miles in other brands (and none in 3000 Altra-free miles since). Some of my customers, co-workers, and friends have had more serious issues in the Altra Lone Peak, including injuries such as stress fractures, broken ankles, and ruptures Achilles tendons. We’ve named the Altra Lone Peak 5 one of the best trail running shoes! See our Best New Trail Shoes of Spring-Summer 2021 for more recent trail running shoe releases.
