Altra Lone Peak 5 Women's Trail Running Shoes - AW21

Product Information

For the first time, the Lone Peak features the responsive Altra EGO™ midsole - just as nice an underfoot squish, with greater spring. Be sure to look at the latest version of your current shoe as most popular styles tend to be slightly tweaked rather than completely redesigned when updated.

We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience. That said, after running through rivers, you can expect it to dry out quickly with water escaping from the porous upper. More wiggle room at the front allows your toes to splay more naturally to provide greater feedback and push off.

And the latest evolution of the classic shoe has all the features you love, plus more durability for an overall better ride. Finally, and this has nothing to do with the performance of the shoe, but if you’re going to send out a pair of shoes for promotional review, don’t send a pair in black. Not only is this a favorite trail runner for our testers, but it's also our favorite for extended backpacking trips and thru-hikes.

This evolution includes the addition of an Altra EGO midsole, bringing an extra level of response to every step you take while conquering all types of terrain, with the MaxTrac outsole. The Gaiter Trap is a hook-and-loop tab that allows strapless gaiter attachment to prevent debris building up beneath the shoe. The updated rock plate protects your feet from the hazards of the trail so your feet remain unbattered by the miles you do. I honestly could cry finding these because they will help me finally get moving again since my injury/WFH life. If you are running up to a half marathon we would advise going up a half a size to your normal shoe size.Our best-selling trail shoe is now equipped with a seamless, stitch-less upper that’s lightweight and durable. For the first time, Altra EGO™ midsole foam meets the Lone Peak line, bringing responsiveness to every step you take, so any road, any trail, any terrain—the Lone Peak 5 is ready. Gaitertrap™ hook-and-loop tab secures a strapless gaiter attachment that prevents debris from building up beneath the shoe. In my usual size, my long toe touched the top if I simulated going downhill, and the shoe fit tight at the base of the laces in thin socks.

We noted that the additional cushioning made for a little more protection when running over sharp rocks and roots but surprisingly did not sacrifice sensitivity.

It's an excellent option for any trail runner that plans to take on everything from technical and sharp tundra to smooth singletrack. A foot-shape toe box plus extra forefoot volume means this shoe is wide, so those with narrow feet won't find comfort here. The Altra Lone Peak 5 Women’s Trail Shoe has been built with a balanced cushioning platform that puts your heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground to promote a lower impact on your run. Built around an eVent™ weather-resistant bootie construction, the Lone Peak ALL-WEATHER Mid also features a durable DuraTread™ outsole and a responsive Altra EGO™ midsole. Furthermore, it features a new drainage system at the front of the toe, which allows it to drain decently after crossing creeks.
