ALTRA Men's AL0A4VQG Lone Peak All-WTHR Low Trail Running Shoe

wear

but the added stiffness of the upper rubs my achiles tendon to the point I need to wear hiking socks with them (even after multiple walks in them).

I’ve got a pal whose had bare knee problems since wearing them.

There are also many reviews where the fabrics wears out in a specific spot where the fabric meets the TPU near the toe.

however the fabric seems pretty tough so I suspect the culprit is when it gets really dirty and the dirt wears that location out.

fabric

What rubbed me wrong was the pinching and rubbing of the folded fabric when I flexed my feet as I would if running up a steep incline or even just the toe off action.

walking

Walking through dew-covered grass now results in soaked feet.

The outersole is a bit thicker than other Altra shoes, giving more cushion when walking on pavement and the shoe overall is not quite as flexible as other Altra models.

So there’s the head scratcher, as soon as you start walking the event starts ripping.

sole

After about 6 months the sole has now separated from the shoe in the heal.

The glue stops glueing, the sole disappears quicker.

I tried the Timp 3, and could barely stand up from slipping over, then the sole came away from the upper.

slippery

width

The wide toebox makes them very comfortable.

Toe box is plenty wide enough for my toes to spread out naturally and there is zero drop from heel to toe.

hiking trail

Worked great
Bought these for trail hiking on vacation (nothing super steep or strenuous).

comfortable

Altra brand shoes are unbelievably comfy and seemingly well made, this makes my 2nd pair and I'll be buying more in the future, no doubts‼️

Comfortable shoe if you order 1/2 size longer than typically.


So Altra lone peaks are incredibly comfortable.

I’ve had a few now, and they have all been comfy.

purchase

boot

I also found them extremely stable and didn't roll my ankle unlike many boots I've worn in the past.


Used for fell walking, perfectly adequate as boot replacements on reasonable ground.

Oboz Men's Katabatic Low Hiking Shoe

After wearing for a couple of months the fabric part of the shoe has a hole in it.

I would think think that such an expensive shoe would wear better.

The sole has these gripping nubs which I felt would wear out quickly on concrete.

but not long lasting
After one month the shoes fabric started to get worn out especially by where you bend your toes.

The nubs seemed to be maybe 40-50 percent of the sole surface.

The soles seem a bit thin in the front section.

damage

wear fast

waterproof

Already the water proofing is gone my feet get soaked in wet grass.

I did like them

The media could not be loaded.

but the Saucony Excursion Tr16 Trail hikers are more supportive as a warm-weather option.

hiking

The Katabatic is a nice lightweight hiker,

pain

but it is very uncomfortable, I have thin feet and this shoe hurt my right foot, today I have a heel spur problem because of this shoe and I am receiving medical attention

foot pain

heel

Love these shoes
If you have a narrow foot you will love these shoes.

These are perfect for the dirt trails I normally hike.

Good Approach Shoe
Like:  Excellent on rock scrambles and via feratta Not recommended for long hikes

Bought a different pair of Salewa’s since they are quickly becoming my favorite hiking shoe brand.

I have yet to feel some sort of discomfort while out on a trail.

Very comfortable and no break-in time, wear them right out of the box.
