Most Comfortable Shoe I've Ever Worn
By Mikey Chinchilla on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2021
The Lone Peak 5 is the best iteration of the Lone Peak line yet. I originally got on the Lone Peak train because I love hiking, but after feeling how comfortable they were, I started wearing them as work shoes as well, and it was a game changer! This is the only shoe I can be on my feet all day and not have my toes go numb. In fact, my feet still feel great after an 8 hour shift at work. Hiking with them is a breeze. I almost forget I'm wearing shoes. The toe box works exactly as it should, allowing my toes to spread naturally with every step. The Lone Peak 5 has made some improvements over the 4.5 and other previous iterations. The 4.5 introduced an angled shape on the back of the shoe that wasn't part of the 4's original shape. It would rub on the back of my ankle/Achilles tendon like crazy. I'm happy to announce that the 5's reverted back to the comfortable shape, so that's no longer an issue. Additionally the new EGO midsole provides noticeably more cushion and shock absorption during each step over previous versions. The overall construction appears to be a bit more durable as well. If you're new to Lone Peaks, the key things I love about this shoe are 1) the wide toe box, for superb comfort 2) the ultra light weight, which allows you to hike more efficiently and cover more ground, 3) the MaxTrac outsoles that provide incredible traction on trails, and 4) the removable insoles, which you can replace with custom insoles for an even greater experience (I swear by these with Dr. Scholl's work insoles for when I'm at work). As a diabetic, I'm very grateful to Altra for making a show like these. My feet have never felt better, and I sleep well at night knowing these are helping me avoid foot injuries with every step. Lastly, I normally wear a size 8 sneaker. The reviews I read originally said to go a half size up, and I would have to agree, especially if you're wearing thick socks. I've been using 8.5's, and they fit perfectly.

Unfortunate Size Fail 5
By Bob on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021
I love Altra shoes because they’re the only company I know of making foot-shaped trail shoes for runners. All other high-end favorite runners’ brands squish my toes or have some torturous arch support. That being said, The Lone Peak 5 is too lengthy. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the standard width in US 11.5 is just too long compared to my 4 and 4.5 in the same size. Was this extra length intended to keep the big toe from rubbing against the top of the toe box? Did the addition of the wide model throw dimensions off at the factory in Vietnam? I have no idea, but for me my usual size in standard US 11.5 is half a size too long when it comes to the LP5. As soon as I stood with this shoe I could feel the bottom of my foot sliding in it in the living room, not good. Using all available eyelets i snugged the laces up and moved around. The laces loosened as I moved about and exposed my second dislike about these shoes: That massive ankle opening. Please realize my 4 and 4.5 have hundreds of miles each, and they’ve been pretty well put through the ringer. Whereas the LP5 is brand new and just too large of an opening, kinda like what I experienced with the King MT 2 (probably the coolest shoe you’ve ever seen with a Velcro strap). I definitely can’t be slip slide skin melting in these on the trails. The Ego obviously felt more responsive/springier compared to previous models. I could just go down half a size to 11, but then I worry about how tight the mid foot would be, because there is definitely more mid foot support in the LP5 than the 4 or even the 4.5. I think I’m going to be sending these back and once again be cutting into the heels of a brand new pair of 4.5. Altra DID get rid of the Achilles heel destroying upper tab (as all running/hiking companies should) that sullied the 4.5 for some, so there aren’t any comfort complaints or hot spots to speak of. If I got these LP5 again I’d go red. Just sayin.
