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.

I tried these in-store and they felt just like the previous version. I love that they are lightweight, stable, flexible, have a very spacious toe area, and they take my orthotic insoles nicely. Speed hooks for the laces were a good upgrade. I found the sizing was quite large. My size twelve LP7s are the same length as the size eleven LP Hiker 3s. Consider sizing these down. They're too new for me to know if they are more durable than the previous model. I would not recommend these for somebody who is seeking a stiff and supportive shoe.
Great in terms of fit and everything but the grey side sole material is not high quality and started getting torn up almost immediately from moderate use. Had them 2 months and about to try to return them. Also a hole started on the toe. Had other Loan Peaks in the past that were way more durable in both ways.
These are the closest to the original lone peak hiker that I've found. Tried newer versions and didn't like the high front on my ankle. Do not listen to the reviews on running big, they fit just like any other lone peak.
Love the boots, they almost act like a nice mix between a boot and a trail runner. I love the ankle support that it provides and it's super easy to move in. Give it a try on your next hike. I'm sure you won't be disapointed.
These run big, look big and are light grey, not tan. I’ve got many pairs of altras and this years design for lone peak are longer than previous years. Haven’t worn them yet because I might exchange these for a different pair. I’m still a big supporter of this brand.
Super comfy right off the bat. Wide toe box lets your foot have the ability to flex and move as it should. Great ankle support and super grippy tread. I have these in the waterproof version as well.
As others have said these run way bigger I am a 11.5 in the Olympus and lone peak trail runners and in these an 11 fits me just fine
