ALTRA Men's Lone Peak 9 Trail Running Shoe

These shoes are amazing! They fit great and feel like you’re walking on clouds.

Lone peak 9 is more comfortable than the lone peak 8 . Toe box is roomy, great cushioning ! I bought a 2nd pair

So far so good! I recommend a break in period for sure. Takes some time to get used to the zero drop. Ultimately it’s pretty amazing. I have old foot injuries from basketball and it’s hard to find shoes. With the zero drop and big toe box it’s like they let your foot do what it’s supposed to instead of coddle it in massive amounts of foam. I’ve taken them out in light snow and sloppy mud. I would call them weather resistant. They offer little protection from wet. Traction is awesome and super grippy! Great shoe!

Best shoes humans can get currently.

I ordered size 10.5 wide and this pair of walking/running/hiking shoes never disappoint me. This is my go to pair to use even when I have episodes of gout on my foot. Because of the wide toe box, it gives me enough toe wiggle room even if my big toe is swollen from gout. They are my second pair of Altras. They are durable, comfortable, and functional.

My first pair was the Lone Peak 8, which is truly the most comfortable hiking shoe I have ever worn … and they are still going. Just got the LP 9s. They’ve not hit the trail yet. Just wanted to mention that I bought the Navy Blue ones … and as it turns out they are definitely Purple. (Purple is my university’s color, so that’s okay for me.) Btw ~ I’ve been a hiker for 71 years. Still hiking. Additionally, I have the Via Olympus 2s. The LPs fit my feet much better. The VO2s have very cushy soles, though. Update: Three out of five people said my shoes are navy-blue … the other two said purple. Whatever … I like these shoes. Oh, and about them not being waterproof, nothing is ever waterproof here in western Washington. A great thing about these shoes is they dry extremely fast. I like that over shoes that were said to be waterproof but weren’t, and then stayed wet for days after the rain stopped.

I originally gave these five stars. until a little water got splashed on the top of them and soaked right through, barrier and all. These are not the slightest bit weather resistant, and I don't appreciate being lied to. I guess they deserve one star for the wide toe box and original fit, but they just flat out lied about the water resistance. These wouldn't even repel a light morning dew on grass. A complete failure.

I like that they are light and have toe room. I work on concrete floors and this shoe is great !
