Product description
LONE PEAK 8 | LARGER THAN LIFE
The legend is back and ready for bigger miles, bigger trails, bigger adventure. A refined upper ups the rugged factor so you can keep hiking, running, or hanging. Ready to test your limits out there? The Lone Peak 8 is just the versatile and grippy trail shoe you need to do it. We built it with a refined ripstop mesh upper and a MaxTrac outsole for a sticky underfoot grip. Take the trail less traveled with responsive yet comfortable Altra EGO midsole foam. With our roomiest toe box, you’ll have plenty of room for your toes to move freely, with space through the midfoot and zero drop so you can move naturally. With all this grip and connection to the ground, you’ll be sitting (or thru-hiking, exploring, or trail running) pretty. Go big and get out there!
BALANCED CUSHIONING
Our Balanced Cushioning platform positions your heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, encouraging better alignment, better form, and a low impact landing.
TRAILCLAW
These canted lugs on the outsole are strategically placed beneath the metatarsals to provide added traction underfoot.
FOOTSHAPE
Our signature FootShape comfort gives your feet more space to sit naturally and is designed to address biological differences in men’s and women’s feet.

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.

Updated Review – As Described
UPDATE: I have gone on four 3 mile hikes and did not have one issue with these trail shoes. Toes stayed comfortable, no blisters and the traction going over slippery rocks was excellent. Very happy I chose this pair.Nice shoes! I’ve had Lone Peak 7 before which were fine. The toe box is super important to me and this fits the bill. I just received and haven’t hiked in the yet but will update my review after I do. The color is great! Almost hate to dirty them up! Got these on sale so the value is great. We will see how durable these are soon. The fit is perfect.

Best hikers ever
I’ve bought a new pair of hiking shoes every year for the past 10, and these are the only ones I can wear for long periods of time. I also have a version that’s waterproof. They’re comfortable and lightweight, and the wide toe box is perfect. I put an insert in for my plantar fasciitis, and they’re the perfect shoe for walking the dog along the gravel trail by our home.

Support and Comfort
I used to have Topos which I do love but the zero lift shoes were too slippery for me. These Altras have great traction, no slipping, perfect fit for my wider toe box and narrow heel. Great cushioning and zero lift which I like. Expensive like every other good athletic shoes but worth it.

Comfortable with roomy toe box
Great trail running shoes with the wide toe box Altra is known for. Super comfortable right out of the box and stable on rough terrain. Lightweight but still feels supportive. Perfect if you need space for your toes without losing performance.

Roomy toe box – No distortion of the foot
Pros: Roomy toe box – no artificial distortion of the foot – flat bottom on heel of the sole – lugged tread has good grip and stability – good choice for use with an articulated ankle/foot brace (brace configurations are variable) – comfortable – light weightCons: If you need a roll off on heel or toe box, this may not be your shoe.

So close…
Appreciate the open toe box, low drop, and the half size in 11s which is a unicorn of a size. This is my second pair of Altras and I am a fan. I have very narrow feet so a niche problem when it comes to width. This shoe ran quite wide and sloppy for ME. My heel slips out which I have never had happen. I always wear 12s and this is the first 11.5 I have owned. Not too big- toe and heal are fine when standing.Super comfy, keeping them for work shoes and for light weight training days. (Can’t do side lunge like movements, too much play in the shoe)

Had to change running shoes and these work!
I’ve been running in Altra’s Torin 5 for the last couple of years (finding pairs on Amazon or eBay). However when it came time to change my running shoe, there were no Torin 5s in my size to be found. I decided to give the Lone Peak 8 a try. It’s more cushioned than the Torin 5 (mid vs low) but both have 0mm heel-to-toe drop. The stack height of the Lone Peak is larger than the Torin 5, so I was concerned how that would affect my runs. I’m happy to report that I’ve done 2 runs in these shoes, and they were very comfortable and felt similar to the Torin 5s. The Lone Peaks are larger- I wear a size 8 in running shoes and these shoes feel bigger. I’m sure I’ll appreciate it on those very warm running days. So far, the larger size hasn’t made me stumble at all. I’ll be taking these shoes trail running when the weather dries up, but they’re doing just fine on asphalt and gravel for 7-8 mile runs. They’re comfortable, light, and grip the road. I don’t care too much about style, but the blue ones are a pleasant color. I’ll know more about the quality after a couple months.

Apres 1 an d’utilisation, je peux dire que ces chaussures sont de bonne qualité et confortables. Elles se rapprochent des chaussures minimalistes. Parfaite pour une transition. Bon contact avec le sol.

アルトラは3足ありますが、他の靴が履けなくなるほど、履きやすい疲れない靴です。毎日愛用しています。

Wide toe box and zero drop from heel to toe. These shoes don’t squish my toes and I can walk for hours without pain in my feet. Best hiking shoes I’ve had in a long time.

Durable and fit well. Ideal for easy walking on dry days. So comfortable I prefer them to slippers around the house!

Le scarpe sono semplicemente perfette. Ci ho fatto il cammino di Santiago ed ero l’unica senza le vesciche. Inoltre soffro dell’alluce valgo e normalmente sento dolore, specie se cammino tanto, invece con queste proprio zero. Vanno usate ovviamente con i calzini giusti, io le ho abbinate con i calzini a cinque dita tecnici.
