Aside from the fact that it's named after one of the most prominent peaks on the Wasatch front—our very own backyard—the blend of comfort and performance of the Altra Lone Peak Hiking Boot on both technical and tame hikes is what really won us over. A cushioned, supportive midsole keeps energy levels high until we reach the peak, while the Duratread outsole picks up the slack of tired legs with a confident grip on the way down. Hiking boots built for your everyday trail endeavors Breathable mesh upper has reinforcements for more durability Footshape toe box lets your toes spread for natural stability Altra Ego midsole blends cushion with support for long hikes DuraTread outsole effortlessly grips trails of varying conditions Worn for one hike ~8miles. The trail was pretty dusty, so they look more used than they are. I exclusively wear the regular Lone Peak trail runners for hiking/backpacking, and wanted to try the boot version, but they just didn't quite do it for me. See photos for minimal wear.
