READ ALTRA LONE PEAK 8 REVIEW

This iteration of the Lone Peak stands out with its design focused on a natural foot shape, further reducing the risk of rubbing and blisters by providing even more room than typical trail running shoes. This is achieved through the FootShape™ toe box, a defining characteristic of the Altra brand. The shoe also features the Balanced Cushioning™ platform (formerly known as Zero Drop), maintaining a 0mm heel to forefoot drop. This design is beneficial for improving posture and running form, reducing joint impact, and promoting a midfoot landing, all without compromising on cushioning.

Equipped for rugged trail conditions, the shoe includes a durable MaxTrac™ rubber outsole with a TrailClaw™ lug pattern, ensuring excellent grip on diverse terrains, from soft earth to rocky paths. Additionally, the StoneGuard™ rock plate offers further protection against sharp and uneven ground.
