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.

Gosh I just love my altra lone peaks!!!! I took the 8’s on the Camino (~600 miles) and barely had blisters!! While my fellow peregrinos were groaning in pain from their too-narrow shoes, I was wiggling my toes with glee. Now I’m taking the 9+’s on the Appalachian Trail and I couldn’t be happier. 😁❤️
Totally worth the price!

Heel lock didn't work--blisters every time
vashti4 months ago
I have loved Altra shoes for years--only shoes I can wear that don't give me knee pain and shinsplints. But something has changed--I have an older version of the lone peak that fits great and has been my go-to hiking shoe. I have always had heel slippage in this model, but usually using a heel lock tying technique fixes it. I tried over and over with this shoe to get the heel not to slip, and every time I wore it for more than 20-30 minutes, I got blisters. I used blister bandages and changed socks and did everything I could think of to get them not to slip. Nothing worked. I started getting blisters in new places every time I adjusted something. I returned them today.

Comfy out of the box
4 months ago
I’ve tried previous LPs but they ran either slightly too big or too small. This one is perfect. Full disclosure - I deviated to Aasics and Hoka briefly but when my toes started rubbing so hard they developed callouses, I returned to the safe comforting embrace of Altra. I used to wear Timp 4 and Olympus 5. I tried the Timp 5 too but it was too tight. I’d say this is a lot roomier without sacrificing support. Still feels grippy enough to have good traction in rainy weather. Glad that LPs finally fit me! Shout out to Frankie from the Bellevue branch for patiently helping me find these and helping me get sizing right.

Wider toebox and mid foot
2 days ago
I have worn Altra Lone Peaks for 10 years as my go to shoe for long distance backpacking. The Lone Peak 9+ is the first version that I had to size down because the midfoot was looser and toe box was too wide. After 100 miles on trail and repeated bruised toes from my foot sliding all around no matter what socks, lacing pattern or even using heel lock lacing, I finally came back to REI and sized down a half size. Problem solved. I am so relieved I was able to exchange to the smaller size. One if the benefits of being an REI member.

Fit great but toes rubbing on top of footbox
2 months ago
I thought these shoes fit perfectly although I did havevto change laces to stop heal slippage. After several linger hikes with full pack I find my toes get sore from rubbing on the inside top of shoe. Being too short isn't the issue. The toe box seems way roomier than previous models I wore on my AT thru hike plus other shorter hikes. Tightening mid foot laces to keep foot from moving didn't help. I now have two darkened toenails from rubbing. Otherwise I love the color and addition of vibram soles.

Light weight comfort
6 months ago
Just like the Altra LP6, this LP9 pair have been an absolute comfort. With flat feet it’s impossible to get the right running shoes but with these my feet land effortlessly and I can wear them for 24hrs plus and it no aches no pain.

Sold on Lone Peaks

Like previous Lone Peaks, they are comfortable for my wide feet. I'm hoping the Vibram soles last longer than I've previously experience with prior Lone Peaks.

Comfortable but dirt and rocks get into to shoe
3 months ago
My first pair of Altras and they are overall great! Love the wider toe box despite having narrow feet and enjoy the grippiness of the Vibram sole. Not sure if it’s a design flaw of the shoe but no matter how tight I tie my shoes, dirt and rocks always get into my shoes. Which is annoying when running on dry trails. I have had various brands of trail running shoes and did not experience this unless I was running in mud.
