Thank you so much for telling me your answer within 1 minute.

Finally!!! Someone come up with proper Technical review details for each shoes. It's really worth it. Thank you 👍

Great review! Love how you front load the bottom line and the get stuck into the details. Appreciate it!

Great review! Thank you. I just picked up the Superior 5's and I just wanted to make sure that that was the right call over the Lone Peak's. Your insights confirmed it for me as my upcoming 50K is mostly gravel and the trails I run here in Richmond, VA aren't as gnarly as those in the Rockies. Thanks again!

This was exactly what i needed, thank you!

What a review! I have decided on Superior as my runs 80% of the times were short and non rugged.

"By shorter runs I mean 50k or less.." We live on very different planets my friend 😂😂 Literally thought you were going to say 8 to 10 miles or so ...

Thank you for this good review and comparison!

Thank you. Getting both.

SUPER Helpful! Thank you!

thanks for the review brother! i'll go for lone peak 5 then! :D

Thank you for the video, very informative. I wished you did a side by side comparison. Apart from that amazing thanks.

Excellent review!

Trails and road, 6 hour trail, and then a 24 hour on the roads. I use altras. Absolutely love them! Thanks for the video!

Superior looks good but now I’ve got the Lone Peak I’ll be sticking with that for now, great comparison video 👍🏻

Great review. Subbed!

Great review. I have the Georgia Death Race coming up. I think Im gonna go with the Lone Peaks

Good review

Thanks for the comparison. Good to hear the LPs can work for the biggest ultra distances and that the superior will work up to 50k. I'm a beginner runner since about two years and have ended up with plantar faciitis when training and completing my first 50k. So now I'm turning towards altras and vivobarefoots as they seem to fit my feet very well and also seem to promise better run form and strength to heal my PF and avoid injuries, so that I can keep developing my ultra distance abilities!😊

I recently ordered both and sent the Superior back, kept the Lone Peak. As a minimalist runner, I wasn't expecting that. But the Superior just didn't fit right, whereas the Lone Peak felt slipper like for me.

Coming back from a gnarly head injury and my training goal is just to be able to run the Pemi Loop by this winter. A problem I've had with Altras in the past is the grip on wet rock. I adore the fit and comfort, but with some balance issues, and a slightly delayed response of adjustment and compensation from my body, I need slipping to not be a heightened factor. In dry conditions, with only a handful of water crossings, Lone Peaks are my favourites. But they have some drawbacks on wet, cold, icy trails.

Great, great video. I love walking/running on short (10 k) rocky trails. I have also very wide feet. What would you suggest for someone like me? The Superior 4.5, the Superior 5, the Loan Peak 5? Also, since I switched to Altra, I'm not going back. I've a pair of Loan Peak 4 and I love them. Thank you so much.

Been doing most of my trail running in Shamma mountain goat sandals have a 50 mile are coming up but that’s in mid December and it might get colder so I’m probably gonna be running in. My Tara ultra G270 form inov8

I'm just running in the snow and ice during Winter, but the first pair of trail shoes I bought last year were heavy and stiff (Saucony Peregrin). They didn't work for me at all. I'm still considering the Superior.

Good review! I recently purchased my first pair of LP 5.0. I’m a Lone Peak fan and only just recently purchased the 4.5 in addition to the special edition 5.0, after almost maxing out my second pair of 3.0, which I really like. I’m not a big fan of the 4.5 because the outer toe area and vamp feels a bit unstable and provides less protection against the occasional toe stubbing compared to the 3.0. With the 4.5 outsole I also feel more ground contact on my feet (solved that by switching to a more protective insole). I haven’t tried out my LP special edition 5.0 yet but just from looking at them the outer toe area seems to be made with more stability and protection than the 4.5. So this review was right on time! But man, the 5.0 special edition looks so good I almost don’t want to dirty them up.🤣. Any thoughts on the 4.5? I haven’t put a lot of miles (81) on the 4.5s yet, longest run is 17, but enough to say I prefer the 3.0 over them at this point. I haven't raced much recently but mainly run trails that are a good mix of gnarly terrain, challenging hills, small stream crossings and decent single/double track flats. Most of my long training trail runs are 10-20 mile range and up to 50k when racing.

Great comparisson video:) have ypu ever tried/raced in the timp or Olympus? I really like the Timp. Feels agile for the ammount of stack.

Im a thruhiker and I swear by the altra superior 5s. dries quickly, ultra lightweight.

I have 600km in my Superior 5's. My only issue is they get a bit slippy in mud. The tread gets clogged up and I skate out sideways if the mud is more than 1/2 inch deep. Might try the LP next time as the tread lugs look a bit deeper and more aggressive.

Training for my first Ultra Beast but with aspirations for an Ultra marathon next year

Ultra runner here. Superiors have always been a go to for me. I"m wondering if I need the Lone Peaks for longer stuff. I love the Torins, Escalante, Superior and I have one pair of Olympus for really big stuff....May get a Pair of Lone Peak 5. I was disappointed in the last Timps...good laces but unforgiving and hard feeling. Thanks for your review.

Thanks for the review, that colorway look sharp on the Superior 5! How's the sizing for you? Altra says order 1/2 size up, did you find 1/2 size up worked best for you? I normally wear a 9.5 and hoping to order online once without having to exchange!

Great comparison, i am going to be utilzing them for trail running and also a 220 mile JMT thru-hike. which one would do you feel would better for the 220 mile hike?

Which is better for a "day treck" involving some technical ground ???? Thanks

I am considering the Lone Peak 5 for my hiking shoe. I normally wear boots, but I want to try out the weight savings.

Doing a Trifecta. Completed my Super. Doing Sprint (5k) in April 2023 then Beast (20k) on November 2023. Sprint - Superior 5? Beast - Lone Peak?

super. 5 long runs mixed trail concrete to soft mud . 8-15 daily miles 45-55 miles week . no races yet

training for my 1st 100 miler. rocky racoon feb 2022

Do the shoe have similar flexibility? Personally I dislike stiff running shoes.

Can you say something to the durability because I wanna use them for thru hiking.

when you say you noticed a big difference on midsole and the following category you didn't say which one was better in that way, just that you noticed a difference. will you elaborate for me on those parts?

what are your thoughts now after a year?

Hi, I'm getting into zero drop shoes (or at least low drop) and am considering these Superiors or Lone Peaks. I wanted to ask what your recommendation is between these and another trail running shoe like a Saucony Peregrine or Xodus Trail. The Peregine does have a relatively low drop (4mm) and was curious if you had a preference and maybe why! Thanks.

I really like both shoes, but the lacing of the Superior is really frustrating. My Superior 4's flattened out faster than the Lone Peak. I know many have that problem with LP, but I have not noticed it so much.

I love my superior 3.5, so grippy and springy. 4.0 felt too loose for me

Really a great review man. 👍 I'm interested in Superior 5....What about the size? Did you find this shoe true to size? I use to wear 9,5 usa in Altra Torin 4 plush and in Olympus 4. Instead I need 9 usa in Escalante Racer... In Topo I wear all shoes 9,5 usa. But I'm really in doubt... cause lot of people find Superior 5 larger in the front.. 🤔 Unfortunately I've not possibilitie to try them in a shop and I have to buy them on line. Do you suggest me to size down half or the same size? Your advice is appreciated.😄 Good job. Waiting (surely) for your next great reviews, cheers. 🤪

How's the fit? Do you buy the same size in both? I've got the superior 5, but they are a little narrow for my flat feet. Been eyeing the lone peak wide.

Some say superior is slippery on wet surface. But that is not case for you since you run on snow in this video. Am I right? Great review btw

Just wondered if you found there to be much difference in feel / cushion between the Superior 5 to the 4's? Love the 4's, probably my favourite Altras but wondering if there's really much difference here other than purely aesthetics? (..and fair play the 5's look good) Cheers

Yes! And the winner gets to take on the undisputed champion; the Brooks Cascadia.

LP-5-Wide are too narrow (almost a full half-inch narrower than LP-3.5's). LP-5 Lugs are a smidge longer/more aggressive.

You had me laughing at short runs being 50K 😂 but to answer your qs I'm not training for anything but I am planning to go on hikes and walk around a park this summer. Is there a shoe that can do both?

Hi thx for great video. I’m just starting to run again and after 1 week with Nike Pegasus my Morten’s Neuroma came back. But I have no problem walking bare foot so I bought a used pair of Vivo barefoot shoes and after 2 short 3km runs in snow and tar had no problems but I’m hard on shoes and can’t buy any bare foot shoes in Norway so I’m interested to get a pair of Altras but what’s the difference between Lone Peak 5 vs Lone Peak 5-M they are priced the same at $125 and the Superiors at $136 not a big difference in price but with the new foam in the 5 should that be a better choice for a more mixed surface run. Thx

Can you please advise if any of the altra footwear would be suited for an everyday shoe to be used as a lifestyle shoe

What would you say about fit? I have LP 4 in 12 and superior 4 in 11,5. The superior feels a little too small and the LP feels a little too big. I wonder if the LP 11,5 would be a better fit. And no, I cant just try and return, I live in another country and its a little hard to return things 😢

I felt the Lone Peak was kind of sloppy and it felt much less sable than the Superior.

Interesting comparison would be... Altra Lone Peak 5 vs. the Joe Nimble nimbleToes Addict Trail and the "wanderToes 2.0 Lite" ...in alpine Terrain, which is very technical and very challenging for the Material.

There’s no choice for me as I need the wide fit. Only wide fit is the lone peak.

What socks do you recommend?

How is the water drainage on the superior

Could you also add grams for us non-US peeps please? You have a lot of international buddies following.

Disagree with you. they run big... size 1/2 down for LP5! I've had both sizes and 1/2 down fit much better

I weight a 180 the superior dosen't hold up The lone peak dose

I prefer the fit of the superior, it feels far more secure on my feet and the feeling is better. Lone Peak is a disappointment for me, too soft, too sloppy.

You have beautiful eyes sir

Dirty girl gators...way better than altra gators and they are cheaper. Sizing is better too.

how annoying, when you were talking about the difference in soles You never mentioned if the difference you felt was negativ or positive. And then you did the same on the "stack height", you said things like "I noticed a difference on that hard terrain with that lone peak 5" you not even saying it te difference was good or bad. And btw plz define difference or not use the word since it can mean litterly anything.

neither, buy nothing
