Altra Lone Peak 6 Review | 2022

[@DanielOutdoors]

The Altras changed my life, after backpacking for 30 years. I wear a pair even at regular life.

[@RunMoore]

Thanks for watching, I am glad you love your Altras!

[@andrewwebster4348]

I use their Timp series at work where I work on a mix of outdoor and industrial surfaces, and the Lone Peaks when hiking.

[@JefferyPhillips]

I switched last year to the Lone Peak 5 from hiking boots. It makes hiking so much better. Granted, there are times when you need boots, but most of the time, I used my Altras. I absolutely love them.

[@RunMoore]

@@JefferyPhillips Glad to hear that you are loving your Lone Peaks!

[@legojida]

are the Altras good for long-distance backpacking? I'm going on a trip this year where we'll be doing around 10 miles a day for 2 weeks, and I'm trying to decide on trail runners or hiking boots.

[@DartmoorPaul]

Just received my LP6 in brown or “gold” as my wife called them 😱 Straight out of box and on a hike & they are just the best. As comfortable, if not more than my 5 SEs. Love them❤️

[@ririemarilyn]

how's the sizing?

[@jordanultra8698]

I'm an ultra runner and I've done 100 mile races in each of the last 3 lone peak models, The last model did feel a little clumsy but I really like the direction they're going in with the different widths. It would be nice to see them do that with the superior🤔 this was a very thorough video thank you so much, you did a great job👍

[@RunMoore]

Thanks for watching, good luck in your next race!

[@robertmorano2372]

I just converted into altras this year and have been loving it. I have never felt better! But please, please, for the love of God, can we please get an outsole that grips. It grips fine on dry terrain, but when things get wet, even morning dew, it can get flat out dangerous. What's worse is that it grips sometimes and not others, creating a real lack of confidence. And second guessing steps as you move through terrain. You'll hear people say, just get the Olympus, but I don't want the Olympus. I love my altras, but if I'm going out and it's supposed to rain or if I know I'm going to get wet, I go in one of my Saucony's, because they rotate the earth below your feet on EVERYTHING!

[@str8up50]

They need to quit stuntin' and bring back the Vibram

[@iakona23]

You may just have to wait for the Mont Blanc in March with the new Vibram grip.

[@robertmorano2372]

@@iakona23 that's still WAY too much shoe for what I want for everyday. And I'm not going to want to spend as much as I think the MSRP will be.

[@robertmorano2372]

@@str8up50 even if it's not vibram specifically. You can make your own rubber compound that grips. As much as I don't like Salomon shoes, they do grip very well. And before I started in altras, my beloved Saucony mad rivers (and peregrine's for that matter) have so much grip, you can't wrap your mind around how it does what it does. Mad river is (or was) $110, peregrine $120 both shoes grip circles around Altra. They should be embarrassed. I still rely on my Saucony's in the weather quite a bit. They are just so reliable and predictable. Not to mention I have a TON of miles on my mad rivers and they still feel better than ever.

[@slavasss2189]

Agree, but wish they have all models in wide fit, or at least in OG fit...so pity to see they ruined timp by calling them standard , ie narrow... i wish they have it like version 1 or 1.5...

[@ririemarilyn]

Superior will always be my favorite shoe from Altra as they fit my foot like a glove. LP more of a high volume kind of shoe but that new shoe lacing system got me interested

[@RunMoore]

It is always fun to switch it up every once in a while! Thanks for watching!

@@RunMoore If only Altra offer 2 version of Superior? One is the usual for hard/soft/rocky dry terrain. One has the lugs for gnarly muddy wet trail. Now that would be enough for me.

[@ririemarilyn]

Yup I had one. I did a the first half of 100km race with it. 60KM or so.. Great traction and stability.. not so much on the cushion tho (well they are not design for that distance)

[@stout_tossme7541]

I don't run. Only when I have to. Lol. I just got the LP6 wide in 9.5. I hike, hunt, walk, just not run. So, my kids as a surprise got me some LP5 in 9.5. So I will have both models. If they fit I will keep both for my daily use and hiking. With flat wide feet I struggle finding shoes/boots that fit. Having worn combat boots for 20+ years daily, I m looking forward to these shoes. Your review was great and helped me find these shoes. I struggle with the price. But my foot doctor convinced me to look at premium shoes (he uses Altras). I have Achilles Bursitis, and working on preventing it's flare-up. Again, thank you for the review. Note: I have worn Bedrock sandals for hiking for three years, I was looking for zero drops.

[@RunMoore]

So glad they are working well for you!

[@omarcorrea]

Good job describing and discussing the shoe without sounding like a shoe salesman. Love the Lone Peak, own the 4.5 and 5.

[@RunMoore]

Thanks for watching!

[@LancePeterman]

My first Altras were the Lone Peak 5. I wear a 10.5 in EE, these shoes feel like they were made for me. Easily the best shoe I've ever worn in my life. I bought the 6 a few weeks ago and just did an 8k race with them in some hybrid conditions (ie. not road). They felt fantastic. I love the added ventilation. Fit really is identical (for me) to the LP 5.

[@RunMoore]

They are quite similar, much to the relief of the Lone Peak 5 fans!

[@colleentehero8495]

Wow, thank you!!…this was so informative…I recently went on a hike and along the way everyone was talking about ALTRA lone Peaks ..I never heard of it🙈)..I have wide feet and decided to get my 1st pair of trail shoes..absolutely the BEST decision I made👏🙌😃

[@ladykws]

Hi. Glad to see and support a video from the Motherland (my birthplace, Maryland). Brand spankin' new to the Lone Peak world and the "clown shoe" shape. I just bought a pair of these babies and I have an incessant worry: will the large toe box/clown shoe trip me up? I had a knee injury that completely stopped my from trail running. I have a longing to return to some light and intermittent trail running alongside hiking. I fear (big time) that I will trip and fall and, subsequently, re-injure my knee. Have you ever tripped because of the wide and weird toe box? Heard stories of this? I want to be brave but careful.

[@NikolaTeslaEE]

Awesome review. These are on sale now so I’m buying them.

Ive been training on my LP5 on roads noT trails . The roads have been wet and slippery- they do the job.

Wow, never thought I'd find a review as detailed as this! I'm planning to buy a pair of these for longer events (24hr/100k) and this review really helps. Have lots of Salomon and Asics shoes but in the years I've been buying Salomon shoes the fit and quality seems to have declined a bit so have been looking for alternatives like Hoka and now Altra. Thanks.

Looks like the biggest change is the extra drainage and the reinforced sides at the front. Looks good, wish the color choices were better.

[@ktmxcw4501]

These reviews are great. Thanks for putting them up!

[@RunMoore]

Thank you for watching our reviews!

[@ericb3040]

Love my Altras but I find the superior to be the best for me (not as bulky and more feel than than the Lone Peak). I like that Altra has gone narrower with their more recent models. They still have the wide toe box, but have a more secured fit which helps a ton when running technical trails with sharp turns. Good review though, these look better and less bulky than previous Lone Peak versions - would consider as a hiking/all around shoe.

[@RunMoore]

The Lone Peak 6 is great and definitely worth checking out but the Superior is also a fan favorite in store!

[@andrea4633]

what would really help me would be the actual measurements of the insole, both length and widest part ... it would choosing the right pair so much easier

Great review but, let me know if the toe guard stays glued

[@Marcela.Isabel]

Amazing review! Thanks a lot 🤟🏽

[@rptek]

I thought the LP4.0 was perfect, but the midsole bottomed out quickly. The LP4.5 was too narrow, but the LP5.0, even the regular width, had too much volume. Maybe I am just picky, have you heard the same? Hope the LP6 fits like the LP4.0.

[@RunMoore]

We have heard complaints about the varying widths of the Lone Peak iterations. The new Lone Peak will be very similar in width to the 5.

[@maxwright4387]

i tried on the LP5 yesterday. much better fit than the 4. spacious, nice forefoot width. i would be able to size down a half size in the 5, probably gonna pick up all weather mids for the snow. otherwise i am mostly rocking superiors these days (like 6 pairs). am going to try some sauconys. excellent videos btw. namaste

[@RunMoore]

Thanks for watching!

[@DartmoorPaul]

I’d be interested how you got on with the Mid in snow…. I’ve just sent back my second pair as they leaked in toe box. Altra say it sounds like a production defect.

[@RunMoore]

@@DartmoorPaul We have had great customer feedback on their ability to keep feet dry, so that is a bummer to hear. Hopefully, Altra can set you up with another pair.

[@maxwright4387]

@@DartmoorPaul i actually need take back my statement about downsizing. i ordered a half size down, what i've worn in superior 4's and solstice runner, and was about to head up a snowy mountain in them the other day but decided against it, returned them, might try my normal size but idk. when your feet are flexing and curling a lot dealing with an unstable punchy snow surface i've found having some extra room in the shoe is better. im using superior 4.5's and topos in the snow for now because these are the widest and most stable. wool socks, a plastic bag duct taped at the ankle if it's really cold, and long snowproof gaiters. i wouldn't have expected LP AW's to be completely waterproof for long, especially if the fit was tight. creasing or stretching like a running shoe undergoes, or maybe even moreso a hiking shoe, will quickly damage most waterproof membranes i still want to try them but for now i am really digging the width, comfort, suppleness, and stability of superior 4.5's in snow. i didn't like sup 4.5's at first, thought they were too boaty lol. again im talking about conditions where your toes are curling for grip and where the snow is somewhat unconsolidated and you're punching through and rolling around a bit anyway try wool + plastic bag + gaiter with your most stable below-the-ankle shoe this concludes my novella. sorry for the rant

[@DartmoorPaul]

@@maxwright4387 cheers! I had superior 3.5s and loved them, but I think I would even love them more with an ego sole! For now I’m really happy with my LPs & after watching Steve’s video on the LP5 SE I bought a pair 🙂

[@RunMoore]

@@deepwapiti The Lone Peaks are popular for backpacking but have less cushion than the Timp, so if you are used to that cushion level make sure you can handle going down.

[@leorunsoregon2082]

Would this be a good shoe for trail during wet conditions?

Heck yeah! While it is not a Vibram outsole this is a very nice and grippy outsole and perfect for wet conditions. It even drains very well.

Hey Steve, David from Munich here. Thanks for another great review. Question: When will you review the Asics Glideride 3? Is it available soon? Thanks!

[@NewSkiwi]

Hi. Thanks for the review. May I ask, what's the difference between a men's and woman's shoe?

[@RunMoore]

The main difference between the men's and women's is the sizes and width. The width of a standards men's shoe is equivalent to a wide women's shoe. There is also a 1.5 size difference between men's and women's shoes, meaning that a women's size 10 is equivalent to a men's size 8.5.

[@burnt-reynolds]

How is the outside sole? Same thing? Does it feel more durable than the 5's? I find aggressive trails really annihilate the lugs in under 200 miles on my 5's currently and sometimes slippy with leaves and rocks.

The outsole is still the same. They made some nice changes on the 6 but the outsole seems to be identical to the 5.

Thanks for this amazing video, I'm like on the verge of buying these shoes, but I'm a bit hesitant. Ive worn the Saucony Peregrine recently, which have a 4mm offset, and I'm still not sure if I could handle the Altra shoes. My trainer told me that it would take time but he's sure I would be able to handle them. So, it's either these beautiful shoes or the Topo MTN Racer 2. Thanks again!

[@RunMoore]

The difference between 4mm and a zero drop shoe is not much of a transition, it typically takes only a couple runs to adjust (if you notice a difference at all). If you were transitioning from 10-12mm drop I would say be gradual, but you are already in a low drop shoe. Personally, when I switched from Saucony Kinvara (4mm) to Altra Escalante (0 drop), I didn't get any soreness in my calves/achilles at all.

Would love to know how well it keeps the foot stabilized, etc. I'd appreciate any input on this. Thank you!

[@mikeknowshow]

What is your experience with people using these for road running? Obviously the treads/outsole are specifically designed for dirt, mud, rocks, etc.

[@RunMoore]

We know several people who run on the roads with these and are pleased with their performance. The only caveat is running on the road definitely wears down the lugs on the bottom so they lose trail traction relatively quickly compared to if you use them on trails.

Running that long of a distance in the lone peaks would likely cause some discomfort. The bottom has deep indentations on the outsole and there is a stone guard in the mid-sole. This combo makes the shoe not ideal for pavement.

I have the LP5. The heel cup is a little mushy for me as it goes around my heel and to my ankle. Is the 6 more sturdy?

[@RunMoore]

Thanks for watching! the soles on the LP5 and 6 have a similar feel so it is likely that the LP6 will also feel mushy.

[@TDMiller]

Excited to try these out!

[@RunMoore]

You're certainly not alone! Thanks for watching :)

[@ScottKent]

Any chance you could better explain the box lacing. I find that on very long hikes (after a few weeks) my feet tend to swell a bit and the top to bottom volume of the shoe isn't enough any more.

[@RunMoore]

Box lacing involves relacing your shoes and at the middle hole, or wherever your foot pain is, you can either skip that set of holes or run the laces through the same side instead of crossing over to the other side. Here is a link to an image of the technique: www.today.com/style/how-lace-sneakers-high-arches-wide-feet-toe-pain-more-t112110

Do these dry as fast as arcteryx norvan sl3?

[@Langeroonie]

These sounds like great shoes. Do you have to go easy when you start wearing zero drop trainers? I have 100K coastal walk coming up and would like to try out these trainers.

[@RunMoore]

When switching to zero-drop from a traditional 8-12mm drop shoe, we recommend doing a short first exercise in them and building up over the course of the week. Typically people feel a little soreness in their calves from the stretching in the back of the leg for the first few runs, but this is a normal adjustment.

[@Langeroonie]

@@RunMoore Thanks for the reply! Really, you can adjust that quickly? That's good news and thank you for your help!

[@RunMoore]

@@Langeroonie Yes, it is a quick adjustment that is made even quicker with the help of some calf and achilles stretches!

[@jameshowlett4314]

We getting the HIIT back? Been looking to replace mine for over a year now.

[@RunMoore]

Unfortunately, we have not seen any new versions or comparable models to the HIIT

[@lattakia3812]

is there a GTX version ?

[@jasonwright6823]

Will the LP6 come in an all-weather version? There was an LP5 all-weather although some people complained that it was narrow.

[@RunMoore]

Yes, it will be made in an all-weather version. We don't know yet about the width compared to the LP5.

[@joeleeman9886]

You just earned my business, pre ordered mine!! Im a little nervous on the size but im assuming if its unbearable I can exchange for a half size smaller in a reasonable amount of time?

[@RunMoore]

As long as the exchanged size is in stock, yes! WE have found this shoe to run true to size so hopefully, it will all be good.

[@marioperez5666]

Would you say the sizing is the same as the LP5?

[@RunMoore]

@@marioperez5666 Sizing feels comparable to the 5s

[@joeleeman9886]

@@RunMoore These are incredible, the massive snowstorms delayed the shipping until today which was still faster considering I was under the impression they werent even released yet. The size seems right, my foots between 11.5-12 so my shoe sizes vary by brand. Im sorry I cant compare to any previous Altra shoes but the fit comfortably, a tiny bit loose which is what I want. I wont be doing 25's in these.

[@RunMoore]

@@joeleeman9886 They have been released, we have several pairs in stock. If you like a loose fit I recommend the size 12.

[@opusmax8171]

Do you have any info on what colors gonna be realesed in the first drop ? Seen so many different colors atm

[@RunMoore]

We will have the gray/blue, orangish/yellow, and black red should come first. We will have them hopefully by the end of December. The dusty olive should be in early January.

[@HoffAppFarm]

Great review...thanks! Trying to decide between the Lone Peak 6, the Dynafit Ultra 100 and the Hoka One One Speedgoat 4. I had the 2.5 many, many years ago and really liked it. I'm training for a number of ultra races and so need something rugged but also with enough cushion, but not too much. I've tended to stay away from Hoka as it seems "too padded" where I'd felt like I was always on the edge of turning my ankle from it sitting up higher. Locally I can only try on the Hokas, but might be passing down your way in the next week. Do you have the 6's in stock yet? Thanks!

[@RunMoore]

Hey there thanks for checking out the review we do have Lone Peak 6 in stock so if you find yourself in the area please stop by!

[@justinmowery576]

speed goat 5 coming out soon too

[@LuciousPoseidon]

I am trying to figure out which shoes to buy as my next trail shoe for training and ultras. I have been running in the Nike Pegasus 36 Trail for around 400 miles and it is time for something new. Any recommendations of a more "trail" shoe with a similar feel?

[@RunMoore]

The Lone Peak has easily been one of the most popular trail shoes for a while and is a great option. Some others to check out would be the Brooks Cascadia or the Altra Superior. Hope this helps.

[@reservedSuperHero]

are LONE PEAK 6 gonna have a WIDE version like lp5? cuz i'd buy one if they do.

[@RunMoore]

The Lone Peak 6 does come in wide!

[@janmalek]

what's the width of the men's wide?

[@charliejg]

Nice job with this overview of the new Lone Peak. Last year I finally decided to look at Altra shoes. The biggest holdup for me was the price of shoes like this. I checked out a bunch of different brands and models. Finally, I ended up with a pair of Altra Olympus. It took a while, because I had a hard time finding a store that actually had them to try on. I didn't want to settle on another model without feeling the Olympus too. Finally, I walked in to one of our local Lehigh Valley stores and they had several. I really like a shoe to feel wide. The Altras did the trick. The only problem is that I want to wear them all the time, not just on the trail. Now, I want to find a shoe that feels like an Altra that I can wear for casual use. Any thoughts about that? Thanks again for a great review....

[@RunMoore]

Thank you for checking out the review. You're in luck because Altra has a whole line of road shoes as well as casual shoes. One of their top road models that is very close to the Olympus is the Paradigm 6. They also do have a more casual shoe line but we are not as familiar with those models. Hope this helps!

[@DartmoorPaul]

I wear a pair of black Escalante 1.5 for casual use. Love them!

[@charliejg]

@@DartmoorPaul Thanks!

[@doughamilton1756]

Lov this shoe, great for my part of the world, Qatar 🇶🇦

[@DartmoorPaul]

Another great shoe review, Steve. Love my Altras and currently have the LP5 SE after watching your video! 🙂 Now I’m getting confused, in future if i want a shoe that fits the same as this one which fit do I look for; original, slim?

[@RunMoore]

The Lone Peak 5 SE would be considered the original width.

[@em1355]

Does anyone here have Altras that has lasted for more than 300 - 400 miles (hiking)? Just curious as I want to use them (love the shoes) for a planned hike of over 300 miles.
