Altra Men's Lone Peak 5 Running Shoes, Light Gray, 13 D(M) US

I decided to give these shoes a try after seeing all the raves about it online. I'd first ordered a regular width because some said it was already plenty wide. For me that was not the case and I had to return the shoes in the color I wanted for the single color option available in a wide. That made all the difference. These shoes are great. I'm not a trail runner but have walked about 60 miles in these. All the miles are on dirt and the shoes show no wear at all. Were I to improve them I'd wish for a more secure heel fit. My other wish would be for them to cost less

I normally hike in Salomon boots but the longer I go, the more unhappy my feet get with the lack of flexibility in the shoe. I bought the Altra's on the advice of an App trail thru hiker. I just got back from a 5 mile hike with a 20lb pack and loved how the LP 5's performed! They're very light and responsive. I can't wait to take them on the rim to rim trail in the Grand Canyon in June!
