Note, they feel narrow based on my experience wearing other Altras, not in comparison to other running shoes in general. Ripstop nylon?? I was concerned about the breathability of these: there’s not a ton of venting holes and nylon made me think of my tent and not a breathable mesh-like upper. ALTRA EGO™ dual-natured midsole compound with a responsive yet soft feel for increased energy return. Have you also run in past editions of the Lone Peak? What do you think of the updates made to this version, especially the new midsole foam? The midsole flexes enough to allow the shoe to bend and mold itself around terrain, ensuring ample surface area connection which led to the confident feeling these shoes inspired. Great for road-to-trail transitions

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!). The fabric doesn't soak in water, so although your feet easily get wet, they dry out and the shoes didn’t gain weight throughout my wet runs. Cleaning is a breezeOverall, I am impressed with the Lone Peak 5. I am finally starting to see the benefit of maximalist type shoes, but I’ve got a soft spot on my heart for the minimalist revolution from a decade ago. After wearing the Lone Peak for years, the newest iteration offers a similar level of stability as previous models. The upper features a new TPU overlay that fits better in the arch area, with well-placed upper lacing eyelets that allow you to optimize your fit. Additionally, because of the wide, foot-shaped toe spread achieved in the forefoot, you can easily stabilize your landing position on the forefoot. Even though the midsole is well-cushioned (with 25mm of Altra Ego), it's also dense, which still gives a low-to-the-ground feel.

Because of this, I would choose the wide in the future, and I wouldn’t consider my foot overly wide, just average, but bare in mind I’m a barefoot runner used to wider fitting shoes. This is one shoe that the laces are long enough to use both top holes if you really need to, which I am finding is rare these days. The laces took the most force to untie in our lace slip test. They averaged 73N to get untied, where the average for all the shoes we’ve tested so far is is 35.7N.There’s a bit of arch support in these which feels nice under foot, especially for a zero drop shoe that normally sees a flatter midsole profile. It’s light and fast, with ample cushion to hold up for longer distances, so if you’re aiming for a fast race in the right conditions, the LP5 is a good option. You may want to consider the wide fit if you’re on the edge. Most of the shoes fit well for me, except for the width toward the midfoot. I did have some slight overhang, which ended up being uncomfortable if I tied the laces too tight. 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 cushioning was a little on the softer side, but it wasn’t a marshmallow. While I wouldn’t choose the Lone Peaks for speedwork or short, speedy racing, I could still get a good, responsive push-off from them,” said tester Kelly A., who has a neutral gait and a wider foot with an average arch height.

MaxTrac™ A perfect combination of grip, traction, and durability that will eat up gnarly terrain like a boss.Gaitertrap™ hook-and-loop tab secures a strapless gaiter attachment that prevents debris from building up beneath the shoe. 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.
