Whether you're a first-timer or a top athlete, since 2015 we've been sharing with you our love of good gear and our passion for the steep trails we love to run around on. That’s the point of these shoes for me, they’re here to support and protect your feet, while you do the running.

The Altra Lone Peak 6 Men’s Trail Shoe is ready for any terrain and 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. The upper material is a bit of a stain magnet though, with any mud seeming to fuse with the material pretty quickly. If you are running up to a half marathon we would advise going up a half a size to your normal shoe size. I was visiting my parents from wales and needed a new pair trail shoes, I could see Sutton runner had very good . Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

Some say that the shoes are perfect for their feet and that the sole has enough cushioning to protect their feet. The Lone Peak legacy continues, and fans of previous versions will revel in the simplicity of the upgrades bestowed upon the newest version in the lineup, the Altra Lone Peak 6. Balanced cushioning platform: Places your heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground to promote correct, low-impact form throughout your run. The new lace pattern helps pull more pressure over your instep, but even this redesign won't help narrow feet from moving around and causing blisters. The Altra Lone Peak 6 is ready to take on any terrain with trail features like their reliably grippy MaxTrac™ outsole with TrailClaw™ canted lugs designed to keep you going.

Secondly, it made me reconsider the midsole, because 8mm of the stack height is rubber, that really adds a bit more cushioning and protection underfoot. But unlike other top trail running shoes that have a heel-to-toe drop, this amount of foam does not taper, providing ample protection across your foot.

Though not exactly a technical trail pair like the Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra Trailrunning Women, the Altra Maxtrac outsole is quite grippy all-around. Please Note: Shipments sent to the European Union are sold exclusive of VAT and may be subject to local import duties and taxes.

This means that the shoe is wider and more squared at the forefoot compared to your classic running shoe, and has no height differential between heel and toe.Der einzige Nachteil, den ich bisher entdecken konnte ist der, den alle Schuhe haben: die Sohle nutzt sich ab. I generally like to be able to feel the ground when running, but this shoe just didn’t feel great,” said one tester who previously loved the Merrell Trail Glove 6. The updated quick-dry air mesh upper offers just as much breathable performance and most importantly comfort, allowing your foot to feel quite at home - wiggle room at the front and a secure fit at the heel and through the midfoot for confidence on technical trails. The lugs in the front of the shoe are canted and spread out in an attempt to highlight the natural grip and pressure of your metatarsals. While we're willing to sacrifice some level of comfort to build our foot strength, these shoes flat out don't provide the padding or support most folks need to tackle long trail runs.

Anyone who knows me knows that a shoe (especially a trail shoe) without a pull tab is a deal breaker so it’s great to see one.

As long as your foot fills this shoe, this specialized lug design generates a responsive type of traction that adjusts with your natural gait and the trail conditions underfoot.I met Dave today who analysed my foot when running on the machine and took into account my post surgery issues.
