Please note that we can’t be held responsible for any delays once the parcel has been passed on to the British Forces Postal Service I normally take new shoes out for 5 miles for their very first run, which gives me enough time to feel them out, but also get past that 2-3 mile initial break-in. The shoe is surprisingly comfortable. Ripstop nylon?? I was concerned about the breathability of these: there’s not a ton of venting holes and nylon made me think of my tent and not a breathable mesh-like upper. It’s light and fast, with ample cushion to hold up for longer distances, so if you’re aiming for a fast race in the right conditions, the LP5 is a good option.

Trailclaw™ canted lugs positioned strategically beneath the metatarsals to provide traction at toe-off.Note, they feel narrow based on my experience wearing other Altras, not in comparison to other running shoes in general.

Write a small covering note with the product/s you wish to exchange, please include relevant codes and sizes for replacement. Just as it is important with running shorts and tops, the fit of a shoe is paramount to comfort. If you are a fan of spreading your toes with ample amounts of cushioning underfoot, we can't help but boast about the comfort and fit of this contender, and it scored above average in this metric. It offers a 0mm drop, meaning that there is no additional cushioning in the heel compared to the forefoot. This design is said to promote a more "balanced and healthier" landing for the body. That said, it does take practice, especially if you are a heel striker, to switch to striking the ground with your forefoot instead. This shoe is best for those that like a little cushion underfoot and are, or intend to become, a mid or forefoot striker. MaxTrac™ A perfect combination of grip, traction, and durability that will eat up gnarly terrain like a boss.This shoe has plenty of dense rubber under foot, and a well-built, if not over-engineered upper (yes this means it could be lighter weight). I believe the midsole and outsole will go the distance.

The midsole flexes enough to allow the shoe to bend and mold itself around terrain, ensuring ample surface area connection which led to the confident feeling these shoes inspired. Great for road-to-trail transitionsIf you aren’t used to shoes with a low heel to forefoot drop then it’s a good idea to gradually increase the time you spend in the shoes. This is because a lower heel to forefoot drop allows your ankles and lower legs to function more. So, you need to allow them the chance to get used to the extra movement and strengthen up. During this time it’s a good idea to alternate with your current shoes.

Overall, I am impressed with the Lone Peak 5. I am finally starting to see the benefit of maximalist type shoes, but I’ve got a soft spot on my heart for the minimalist revolution from a decade ago.Right out of the box, it was noticeable to me how light the Altra Lone Peak 5.0 is compared to the other moderately cushioned trail shoes that I’ve worn. Also, I didn’t have any hot spots, but if you need to do some fancy heel-slip lacing, there was a bit of lace bite up near my ankle. Conclusion It’s a deep shoe that can be made even deeper by switching out the insoles. Most running shoes on the market suffer from cramping toes and the midfoot in width; what I want to focus on here is depth. Version 6 of the Lone Peak did an excellent job offering ample depth out of the box, but I feel version 7 has shrunk a little. If you need more room, I’ve got two solutions for you. Inov-8 Terraultra G270: Zero drop broad rounded toe box but not as broad as a Lone Peak. A bit stiffer and with a bit more grip in the mud: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/inov-8-terraultra-g-270-graphene-review-cushioned-ultramarathon-running-shoes In summary the Lone Peak 5 is a fantastic all round trail running shoe with posture improving features, room to spread out and a slipper like feel to boot. It’s ideal for those wanting a shoe that allows for more natural foot function.
