OUR BRAND
Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE
Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION
Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

Really great trail shoe!
LOVE these shoes. I tried on a pair in Chamonix and fell in love with the flat midsole and wide toe box. Very comfortable. So far the lack of “megagrip” on the outsole of the lone peak 9 doesnt seem to be an issue. So far they seem to grip really well on wet concrete at least. I will put these through the paces but so far extremely impressed with the style, colors, comfort and performance.

Diabetic Friendly!
Best shoes ever! I have diabetes and walk a ton at work, so my feet constantly bother me. My toes always feel crammed into my shoes. I’ve been wearing these for a few months now and have had zero issues! I’ve tried every other shoe you can think of but this is the one that worked. The wide toe area lets you feet breath and the shoe itself is very comfortable. I had to buy a few pairs and this will be my go to shoes for work!

Great shoe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Perfect Trail Companion!The ALTRA Men’s Lone Peak 9 Trail Running Shoe is hands down one of the best trail shoes I’ve ever worn. From the moment I laced them up, I could tell these were built for serious comfort and performance. The wide toe box allows my feet to spread naturally, which makes a huge difference on long runs and hikes. The zero-drop platform feels balanced and promotes a more natural stride, especially on uneven terrain.The grip on these shoes is phenomenal — whether I’m running through muddy trails, loose gravel, or rocky inclines, the MaxTrac outsole keeps me stable and confident. The updated midsole cushioning strikes a perfect balance between softness and responsiveness, absorbing impact without feeling spongy.They’re also lightweight and breathable, which keeps my feet cool even on long summer runs. After several weeks of use, they’ve held up incredibly well — no signs of wear or breakdown, which speaks to the solid build quality.Overall, the Lone Peak 9 continues ALTRA’s tradition of durable, comfortable, and trail-ready shoes. If you’re a trail runner, hiker, or just someone who loves being outdoors, this shoe is a fantastic investment.✅ Pros: Comfort, grip, wide toe box, durability, balanced cushioning⚠️ Cons: Runs slightly large — consider half a size downHighly recommend for anyone who values comfort and stability on the trail!

Extremely comfortable and versatile trail shoes
Everyone’s feet are different, but for me, the ALTRA Lone Peak 9’s have been one of my favorite purchases ever for hiking and backpacking. The fit and shape feel very natural and comfortable. On my first outing, I hiked 60 miles with no break-in and didn’t get a single blister. I’m now well over 100 miles on them, and the wear has been minimal.They aren’t waterproof, but I actually prefer the breathability, they dry quickly and keep my feet cooler and less sweaty. The tread and grip are excellent, performing well across a variety of terrains. The all-black color is clean and understated, which I really appreciate compared to the loud colors of many trail runners.I even wear them for walking 18 holes of golf quite often. While I still wear my golf shoes when using a cart, it’s hard to go back to them after experiencing the wide, comfortable toe box of these shoes. Overall, I think they’re a versatile, comfortable, and high-performing shoe for hiking, backpacking, and everyday wear.

First pair of Altras but won’t be my last. Great for everyday use.
My first pair of Altras but won’t be my last. I love the toe box width. I wear these as everyday shoes. They are light, sleek and look classy. The traction and quality are top notch.

Very comfortable, wide toe bed shoe
I bought these for my husband who was complaining about some foot pain in current shoes. I have a pair of Altra’s and love them! They have a really nice wide toe bed and give you that extra room you need. They have nice support, are incredibly comfort and still stylish. I’ve not had any foot problems since switching to these shoes and I wanted to share that experience with him.

Great duty shoe
These are very comfortable with a wide toe box. Use them for everyday duty wear when boots aren’t needed. Excellent traction on wet surfaces. Was worried about the your box looking like a clown shoe, but not at all. Only bugaboo is the odd “tail fin” on the sole. Not a deal breaker, just feels weird going down stairs. I wear a 12 in other footwear and a 12 was just right in these.

Comfortable, but pricey shoe.
I’ll start by saying that anyone who reads shoe reviews should take them with a grain of salt. Everybodys feet are different, and no two people will ever have the same experience with a particular shoe.I have “wider” feet. And by that, I mean that I can generally fit into a regular shoe with some slight discomfort, and they will usually stretch out to the point where they are ok to wear and don’t bother me. I prefer to get “wide” shoes when they are available. They just feel way more comfortable. With these, I got a size 12 Wide. They felt very comfortable right out of the box. I ended up doing a 12 mile hike in the White Mountains of NH the day after they were delivered on wet, gravely, steep terrain. Almost no break in period. I wore them around the house and ran to the super market the day I received them.No blisters. No discomfort. Very well made, stylish and durable shoe. The traction of the soles is decent, but not superb. The heels definitely don’t have a lot of traction of descents, and in general the sole doesn’t have great traction on wet rocks. It had rained heavily the previous night in the area I hiked, so everything was very wet.Overall, I think it’s a great shoe. A little pricey in my opinion. I don’t imagine they will outlast my Merrells as far as durability, but they’re a decent shoe to have in my collection.As a side note, if you’re looking to order the Maroon color, just know that they are almost more like a weird shade of dark purple. Not at all what I was expecting. I would have ordered black if I had know that.Included are before and after 1 hike pictures.

Llevaba buscando unas bambas anchas, ligeras y cómodas desde hace tiempo. Solo encontraba algo parecido con la competencia pero nunca un todoterreno como las de Altra. Muy contento con mi compra. Las recomiendo muchísimo.
