Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Hiked the Bill Hall trail at GC - river and back
tripvin8 years ago
Hiked from the north rim of Grand Canyon down to Deer Creek Falls on the Colorado and back with these over 5 days through rain and heat. Others in my group were skeptical about me not wearing traditional boots with ankle support. I was too. But, they were awesome. Great traction even on wet slick rock and stability on uneven and loose rock. I had the confidence to climb. And also no issues with blisters or even hot spots. Can't say enough about these. They even dried fast and were comfortable when wet.

Horrible Redesign

Loved the Lone Peak 2.5 for hiking and backpacking. The 3.0 is not even the same shoe. Higher stack height, narrower, and even a shorter length, in the exact same size shoe. To add insult to injury, the footbed seems to have a more elevationally contoured shape (more bowl-shaped), apparently in an attempt to add stability, and as a result the shoe fits even smaller than it otherwise would. And hurts my feet. Maybe some people will like these better. For my foot type, it has gone from one of the best on the market to one of the worst. Altras should have pushed out the 3.0 as an entirely different model, and kept the 2.5 as is, other than adding durability and stretch resistance to the shell.

Fit Changed (not for good) Unfortunately.
8 years ago
Definitely runs shorter than 2.5 and feels more narrow. The bigger issue is they seem to be narrower in the mid foot area. Just wearing them to work for a day left my feet sore (lateral part especially). I never had an issue with the 2.5 model even on 20+ miles days in rocky areas of the Sierra. I'm hoping they just need to be broken in but I doubt that's it. It's unfortunate because I never had a shoe that fit and work as well as the 2.5.

Comfortable but not durable
8 years ago
Used these for semi-technical and technical mountain trail running and hiking over a course of a few weeks. Outsole toe bumper started separating from the shoe after the first hike on day one - on both shoes and continued on. Shoes fit true to size, comfortable for wide feet and grippy on technical mountain terrain. Rock plate does a good job shielding the foot from rocks however the cushioning is not sufficient for running on paved roads and EVA cushioning seems to be compressing with mileage. I would give the shoes 4/5 starts if it was not for poor durability issues.

Wide-footed women take note!!
8 years ago
I typically have a terrible time finding shoes that truly fit, but I think I may have finally found some! My feet are too wide and my big toe joint too thick for most women's shoes. And men's shoes often aren't really right, either.... So shoe-shopping is usually a total drag! I did get the men's shoe, as the women's still wasn't big/deep enough. But so far these have been great for work and working out. They're foot-shaped! Imagine! The 'negative' sole hasn't been a big deal at all (for me), though I don't run any more so don't know how that feels. I did have to get a half-size larger than usual. But I highly recommend them!

Do not hold up....

First pair didn't last first day on collegiate loop before toe box rubber started to peel so returned to rei and got new pair. Unfortunately just used second new pair on a 55 mile 2.5 day AT section in Va......same issue after day one.....going back to LaSportiva Wildcats as much more durable toe box.....disappointed as like the fit of the Altra.

More Durable than 2.5's
8 years ago
I really loved the lone peak 2.5s. I don't know where people are getting the idea about ordering a half size up. The length is exactly the same as the 2.5, while it doesn't feel as roomy. I believe this is where everybody is getting the idea about it being smaller. I was bale to try on a half size bigger and the roominess was equal to the 2.5s but there was some slipping. If you order a half size larger than the 2.5s, you would be running into the problems that people are complaining about. Overall more durable and seems like a good shoe.

Long haul comfort
8 years ago
I have worn a variety of makes and models of trail shoes over the years. I run half-marathon to 50k distances mostly. So far I have put about 100 miles into these shoes. My overall feeling is that these are very comfortable, but not so nimble/responsive as some other shoes. For flat, moderately rough trails they work great and provide lots of comfort and cushioning. In twists and turns, tricky footing, and especially downhill turns, they are sloppy; I can feel my foot rolling out of the side of the shoe. The shoe is built with very little lateral support. I would chose these shoes for longer/slower/less technical runs. I'm obsessed with grip and shoe outsoles. Skeptical at first, having worn other brands with tons of cleats, I was pleasantly surprised with this shoe's traction. I just finished the Hagg Lake Mud Run 25k in Oregon and found the grip quite good in serious mud. It was not the best I've ever experienced, but better than most.

Excellent Shoe
7 years ago
I wore three pair of these on my Appalachian Trail thru hike. They held up way better than I was expecting. I got 860 miles out of my first pair and they were still in decent shape when I swapped out. The zero drop did take a little while to get used to, but they were super comfortable right out of the box. The traction on these shoes was great and held tight on many slick rock faces. They also dried out rather quickly after getting wet, and they got wet a lot. I loved the roomy foot box and think that this helped me have minimal blisters. I would highly recommend this shoe to any one planning a long distance hike.

On my feet all day
8 years ago
As a Nurse, 12 to 13 hour shifts are the norm, with these shoes, no problem. I do not typically do reviews, but these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! It is easy to see that Altra does their homework on body alignment, weight distribution, and comfort. If you have tall arches, you may need some slip in insoles with extra arch support, but for me, straight off the shelf was perfect.
