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.

Great Traction Bad Fit
No, I do not recommend this product
I really wanted to love these shoes. The Lone Peak GTX looks great, and the Vibram sole is genuinely impressive, very grippy on technical terrain. The Waterproofing also seemed solid. Unfortunately, the comfort just wasn’t there for me. Where the toe box creases during movement it caused significant pain on my right foot, to the point that it actually bruised and hurt for days afterward. This happened after only a pretty easy 3-mile hike. I gave them one more chance on a short 1-mile walk, but the pain returned immediately, and at that point I had to give up and will return them. It’s especially disappointing because I own the Timp 5 GTX and don’t have this issue at all, so this seems to be a rigidity or flex pattern problem specific to this model. It’s possible the crease pain might go away with more break-in time, but it hurt badly enough that I wasn’t willing to find out. Great traction and style, but for me the fit and flex made these unwearable.
