Men's Altra Footwear Lone Peak 4.5 Trail Running Shoe

i got the Lime pair and the Carbon Blue pair. im in love with these shoes. the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn. i used to wear Salomon Odyssey Triple Crown Magic's till i tried some Altra Lone Peak 4.5's. ill never go back to Salomon now. i can't give people a fair assessment on how they compare to previous iterations, but i feel like these shoes were tailored to my feet. im taking these two pairs with me on the 776 mile Shikoku Henro trail. im real confident they will be the best thing for my feet.

This is my first pair of Altras so take this review for what it's worth . Have only done one run which was 6 miles and 1,000 ft of elevation gain so it's a very small sample size. But first thought comfortable shoe . I buy wides in other brand shoes so I was excited to see what the hype was about with the shaping of Altra shoes . Let me just say it's true. Way more roomie in the fore foot. They fit great. Other reviews say that the 4.5 are too narrow and I haven't worn any others but I'll tell you this, way more room in the 4.5 compared to other brand shoes. Happy with my buy so far. Also I wear 10 in 99 percent of running shoes and the 10 in the lone peak 4.5 fit perfect . Only gave 4 stars because I can see how the shoe might not last as long as other shoes so waiting to see how durable they really are . Also waiting to see if the cushion flats out like other ppl say but so far I'm impress with the comfort and the softness of the shoe. Can feel the trail well and have plenty of comfort so far. 6 miles is a short run but I'd probably wear these shoes possibly up to 20 mile runs but further than that I think I'd go with a more cushioned sole shoe . Happy with this product and if you have issues with rubbing near your pinking toe and just below that causes pain that just can't be ignored then give these a shot .
