ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoe

Ordered these shoes for a trip to North Africa. They are comfortable and roomy for my feet. The shoes worked well if I was walking in a city market or out in the desert sands. They look great too. I highly recommend a pair. And lots of colors to choose from too.

As a disc golfer, I was always trying to find a good pair of shoes with great traction and comfortable. Having size 13 extra wide feet, not an easy task. Friend of mine recommended Altras as they have a wide toe box. Got a pair of Lone Peak 7s a couple years ago and found that 12.5 wide is the perfect fit. The zero drop took a little getting used too but I must say, THE best pair of shoes I have ever had.Sadly, after 2 years of casual use, I was due for a new pair. I actually bought Lone Peak 9s but in 13 wide as that was all I could find. While nice, they were just a bit too long. Took them back and ordered these Lone Peak 8s in 12.5 wide."Like a glove!"The new best shoes I have ever worn for throwing some discs.Great traction, great color and very comfortable!The price is worth it!

These are the greatest athletic shoes; they are worth every penny. I suffer with plantar fasciitis, and these shoes have given me a lot more comfort than any other pair I own. They are very durable, lightweight , and the toe box is nice and wide. Order the yellow color if you want compliments.

I give 5 stars to products that meet or exceed my expectations. These do. I bought them on a Friday and the following day went for a 3 night backpack of the TCT on Catalina. This is a ridge following trail with lots of rock and ups and downs. These trail shoes performed extremely well. They are very close to zero drop, but not quite. They breath well, have excellent grip uphill and downhill. I usually take a 12 in trail shoes but ordered a 12.5 because I owned the original Lone Peaks which proved too short in my regular size. The reason: I have a Morton toe (longer middle toe than the rest). If you are looking for shoes with a broad toe box that lets your toes spread out, this is the pair. If you are looking for some volume above you toes, this is the pair. If you are looking for a shoe with a soft but tight fitting heel counter, this the pair. Very Lightweight. Great Backpacking trail shoes.

I recently upgraded to the ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoes, and they’ve quickly become my go-to pair for hitting the trails. One of the standout features is the exceptionally wide toe box. This design allows my toes to splay naturally, providing enhanced balance and reducing pressure during long runs. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in overall comfort, especially on uneven terrain.Another major plus is how lightweight these shoes are. The minimal weight helps me maintain speed and agility without feeling bogged down, which is essential for those fast-paced trail runs. Despite their light feel, they still offer robust support and protection, making them ideal for both rugged trails and everyday runs.Overall, the Lone Peak 8 delivers on every level—comfort, performance, and durability. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or just getting started, these shoes are a fantastic investment for an improved running experience. Highly recommended!

These are the only Trail Shoe I buy. Pair after pair, I keep replacing them with the same model. Great shoe. Like any zero-drop, these fit different than traditional shoes. Super sturdy and well made. Never had a glue seam break like other brands.

Just did my first 4.5 miles treadmill walking in these. Bought them to free up my older Lone Peak 4s for trail walking. The older ones are worn but still useable.First off they at 2 oz lower weight which might seem trivial but that is a 10% weight reduction. The LP 8s are 1lb 4oz the old 4s are 1lb 6oz. The ultralighters will like that. My only concern is how was that weight saved? The rock protection is still there according to marketing but it's no longer advertised as a "rock plate" so maybe they got some savings there??Anyway, that big beautiful toebox is still there as is the zero rise. The shoes were extremely comfortable right out of the box. Zero hotspots after first 4.5 miles in them while wearing "Darn Tough" socks.The shoes have obviously been redesigned but much of it is superficial, I do not see any major tweaks to sole, uppers, etc. The rock protection is a question mark but won't be able to evaluate that until I get on trail at some point. Decent rock protection is critical for trail hiking IMO so I assume it is properly implemented in these shoes.Anyway, no shoe is perfect, so four stars. Will update after first couple of hundred miles.

Altra Lone Peak 8 – Disappointing QualityI had high hopes for the Altra Lone Peak 8, but after just two weeks of wear, I’m extremely disappointed with the quality. These shoes are known for their comfort and wide toe box, which I did appreciate initially, but durability is a major issue.Within days, I noticed signs of premature wear—the outsole started showing excessive wear, and the upper material began to fray. For a shoe marketed as a rugged trail runner, it’s unacceptable that they’re breaking down this quickly. I expected them to last at least a few months, but at this rate, they might not even make it to a month.For the price, I expected much better durability. While they perform well on the trails in terms of grip and comfort, what’s the point if they fall apart so quickly? Unless Altra improves the construction quality, I can’t recommend the Lone Peak 8. Comfortable, but not built to last.
