I was able to increase the lifetime of my Lone Peak 4 with a simple hack: when the lateral mesh would tear up, I would seal the hole with some thread and then apply some Seamgrip (a glue that is commonly used to fix tents) to seal the area. That was effective for some time but they eventually died after ~ 800 km when the mesh started dismantling from the midsole.

Now Altra needs to ditch the flipper, address the area that seems to blow out for a lot of people, use a slightly stiffer/more resilient outsole and bring back the old WIDE toe box.

I've been super curious about altra trail shoes lately. My trail rotation is the saucony mad river tr and the saucony peregrine 10, both 4mm drop, so not too far off. The mad rivers have a beautiful amount of comfy room throughout the shoe and is the most comfortable shoe I have ever put my foot in (I have the version 1). This is what made me start to look at altra trail shoes, as they are known for that wide toe box and "roomy" fit. The durability issues you experience makes me weary though. My mad rivers have at least 400 miles on them, have a ton of life left and they are better than when they were new. The peregrine's have maybe 100 on them, but are wearing like a tank, they still look like they came out of the box, including the outsole!

@sevegarza3 жыл бұрын
If everyone wore foot shaped shoes (or no shoes at all) when they were growing up, then everyone would have normal shaped feet. The problem is that all of us have been wearing shoes that crush our toes together when we were kids so our feet grow like that and stay like that when we are adults. So unfortunately normal shaped feet are actually very rare to have. Altra shoes are made for normal shaped feet. I have close to normal shaped feet I think possibly because growing up my dad would always get shoes a size or two bigger than my true size was so we would save money on shoes. I also did a lot of martial arts so I was was doing lot of barefoot training. So all my toes grew with normal toe splay except for my pinky toe because even sized up shoes were still pretty narrow. My pinky toes are my only toes that rub against the side of the shoe and the toe next to it. Altra shoes (and Lems) are the only shoes I can wear that won't cause me to develop calluses on my pinky toes.

My TIMP 1.5 and my Lone Peak 4.5 both fell apart in under 300km just behind the toe cap on the outside edge where they meet the sole. Love the shoes, but the durability has been bad. I did put 600km on the Superior 4.5

Great review. I ordered a pair a couple of weeks ago and waiting for them to come in. Is there a chance that yours have been blowing out on the lateral forefoot because you have a wider foot? I ordered the new wide version of the lone Peak 5.
@ChaseTheSummit3 жыл бұрын
I do have a wider foot but the shoe fits quite well and I don't have any pinch points or hot spots. I've run 100 mile races in Lone Peak 4.0's previously and didn't have any foot pain or blisters. That tells me it's the right shoe for me but the durability has been unfortunately not great. The 5.0's have held up great so far!

Hey man, great video. Could you say a few words about a comparison between the 3.5 and 5.0? I loved the 3.5, bought a few pairs but now running out of them. I bought the 4.0 a few years ago and it flattened out right away and didn't provide as much cushion as the 3.5s did. Is the 5.0 a little bit back to the 3.5?
@ChaseTheSummit3 жыл бұрын
They 5.0 gets the new EGO midsole which is the biggest upgrade and will provide cushion MUCH longer.. Other than that the 5.0's are a bit cleaner, less bulky in areas, and have improved drainage. Hope that haelps!

I went to try these on at the weekend. So excited, but for me there was this constant 'toe pop' when I stepped forward. The canvas above the toe was digging down into my foot (where foot becomes toes) and then would pop back. Tired 3 different sizes - 1 up and 1 down - same for each. Did anyone else have that? My next shoe needs to be for a 200 mile thru hike so I can't cope with something like that every step!

I love low stack height shoes but zero drop?!?! man, you need really to get use of it, it could be tough for your calf and tends. It looks light and responsive but on the other hand do you feel the stones with these shoes?
@ChaseTheSummit3 жыл бұрын
These actually still have a decent stack height at 25mm so there's substantial cushion and a rockplate to take up anything pointy. The Zero Drop relates to the difference in height from your heel to your forefoot. In typical running shoes the heel is usually elevated above the forefoot by 4-10mm depending on the model. In Altra shoes the heel and forefoot are on the same plane. Theoretically mimicking how humans were meant to run which is supposed to lead to less injury. How true is that? I'm not sure. But I do like the zero drop platform. Thanks for watching!

you say, after 500km (300miles), the 4.5 gets worn out / get torn on the outside? do they tear further? it seems to me pretty early to get broken at that spot. how long does the sole last approximately? I use Salewa Lite Train shoes with a Michelin sole. the studs last about 800km. the damages like you have at the Altra 4.5 start at about 1200km. but the fabric does not tear on so fast. so they last with some holes for about 1500 to 2000km with a flat sole. how does the Altra compare? in terms of price, you get in germany the Salewa shoe for 50 to 100 Eur. it is not the best shoe, but a good value actually.

Saying it feels like they tightened up the heel and midfoot, have you tried these on any side hills? I bought a pair (I forget the model, 3.5 maybe) for an ultra in the mountains and I HATED them. My foot kept rolling and sliding into the corner / side of the shoe rather than the shoe fitting tight and running on the edge of it. I bought a pair of LaSportiva shoes since but for local trails I still do prefer the Altras and would go back to them.

They're definitely tighter fitting than the 3.5. The 3.5 had a bunch of padding around the heel cup (I still have a pair). These are still generally pretty wide shoes so if you have a narrow foot it might be too loose but I get no slip even on uneven trails. Thanks for watching!

I never tried the 3.5 but found the 4 and 4.5 to have similar stability issues with side-hilling and in technical rocky, rooty terrain. It wasn't about fit for me since i have a wide foot. It's that the shoes don't have enough structure to them with their ultra-flexible upper which does not hold the foot securely & so leads to sliding into the corner, combined with the ultra-flexible midsole which gets wobbly on uneven terrain, made them feel downright dangerous to me. I can't take them seriously as a mountain shoe because of this. Not trying to roll an ankle here. It's good to hear the 5s may be better about this but my optimism is cautious. If these don't work out, i'll have to find another brand. Topo, maybe. Saucony also has low drop trail shoes.
