READ ALTRA LONE PEAK 8 REVIEW

The men's Altra Lone Peak 8 emphasizes a natural foot shape, reducing rubbing and blisters by allowing feet to expand more naturally than traditional trail shoes. The hallmark FootShape™ toe box is a signature feature of Altra. The Balanced Cushioning™ platform (formerly Zero Drop) ensures a 0mm drop from heel to forefoot, improving posture and running form while reducing joint impact by encouraging a midfoot landing. Note, this doesn't mean zero cushioning!

Built for tough trails, it features a durable outsole with MaxTrac™ rubber and a TrailClaw™ lug pattern for superior grip on varied surfaces, from loose soil to rocky terrain. The StoneGuard™ rock plate further protects against sharp objects and hazards. The Lone Peak 8's blend of comfort, protection, and traction makes it a versatile choice for runners seeking a shoe that can handle diverse trail conditions.
