Lone Peak 5 - After 100 Miles
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- With the introduction of Ego foam in the Lone Peak for 2021, I thought that the Lone Peak 5 would be a perfect trail shoe for me. And in some ways, it very much is. It's comfortable, grippy, and can handle long days on feet. But over the last 100 miles, I've realized that there are certain situations where I might not reach for the Lone Peak 5

I had identical experiences with the LP 4.5. Too roomy for downhill and taking on curves, causing my feet to slide around inside them, but the shoes certainly had great grip on the trail surface, no problems there. I don't run in my LP's, I just use them for walking trails because they have such good traction on the sandy/loose gravel tracks I walk on and they are so very comfortable. Best hiking shoes for me.
You always pick such great music. Great vlog.
thanks so much!
Enjoyed this review, MK - thank you.
I had the LP3 and it was way too firm for me. Good to hear Altra has improved the midsole.
Yes stones come through can feel them
love this shoe. Did a 50k in them back in June. Held up wonderfully. Feet felt great. However, if I were to go 50 miles, I'd probably opt for something with more cushion like the Speedgoat. Or maybe I'd start with the LP and switch shoes along the way.
this is my trail shoe. blows away all previous models. the one shoe i can easily forefoot strike in on trails and trust it
Great review, I feel the same way; step-in comfort is great, the upper is durable, but I worry about the compression of the midsole. Outsole is wearing in the usual spots but the wide fit is perfect for those of us with wider toebox areas... it can be a little loose going downslope just because of that weak heel area and the lack of secure wrap but it's a shoe I keep reaching for...
Yeah, i heard smb said they compressed in heel and became negative drop ....lol
I've been running in Altra's for a few years and always used the superior for trail runs, in the last year I started using the lone peak and I love it now. Ran my first (and second...) 50 miler in the 4.5.
Use the top lace hole and do a runners knot ! Then the shoe will feel much more stable for downhills.
Great vid ! 😊🤙
I'm feeling loose in the toes
LP5 feel like durable slippers with good grip to me…which is why I love them!
I can see why it has such a strong following
Nice to hear the midsole still hanging on.
By the way, have you seen the new balance MORE V2 TRIAL?
i’ve probably put around 1000+ miles into these shoes. doing daily 4.5 miles runs on very rocky and sharp mountain trails and they’ve held up nicely they just look brown inside of that bright yellow.
Then this is by far, the only athletic shoe in the world that a person could put 1000 miles on before its uppers and soles lose stability and support through material breakdown. I’ve never heard of any shoe being good after more than 600 miles. They may still be together but it’s hard to imagine they’re really doing their job.
@@firestarter8202 what stability? the shoe cuts off before the ankle, it does a good job of helping me not slip on loose gravel when running down mountains. i have a pair of old 4.5 and those are starting to break up only after 400 miles.
@@eternitygoldo9373 I’m talking about the 26 bones, 30 joints and over 100 muscles that your shoe upper encapsulates.
Interesting shoe
Loved all your videos, thanks 🙏
are the LP5 comfortable at road?
i try running on road with Brooks cascadia 16, and it was treble 😩
thanks 🙏
I've run a bit on the roads with them, though never more than a couple of miles at a time, when running from the front door to the trail. They feel really comfortable to be honest - probably as comfortable as something that claims to be a genuine all-terrain shoe, like a Hoka Challenger. Despite the fairly sparse spacing of the lugs, you really don't notice anything unpleasant. I try and avoid running on roads too much with them, as it will obviously wear them out faster - but from a comfort point of view, they're great and really could be sold as a multi-terrain shoe.
What did you expect them to look like after only 100 miles?
Great review as always. Question, can I put in insole inserts to create some drop? I love the idea of the food shaped toe box, but I’m not sure about zero drop
Look into Topo shoes ! Drop with footshaped toebox!
I use the altra for walking and light jogs. It’s a lot more naturally then walking with a drop.
this shoe is roomy, so you might be able to put an insole (although I'm not familiar with insoles that create drop). depending on how big the insole is, you may need to size up.
or go with a Topo. I haven't tried that brand yet, but it seems to be what you're looking for.
@@kofuzi thanks 🙏
@@opusmax8171 great, I’ll definitely take a look. Thanks
Mike I think you might want to go down half a size in altras I always do. The lone peak is just a easy day trail shoe it does horrible in muddy areas clumps up pretty easy not so great climbing uphill for me
I haven’t had to go down in size for the superior or escalante though
I forget i have a long narrow foot I vary from 3 different sizes🤦🏻♂️
Are they waterproof? If not any ideas on what’s a good foot shaped / waterproof / cold weather shoe for the streets of Chicago?
The ALL-WTHR version of this shoe is waterproof in my experience; I stood in a puddle with the toebox completely submerged for probably 20 seconds and still had dry feet. It comes at the cost of the upper being stiffer; particularly a firm toe bumper in my opinion, but I am generally sensitive to that. Also the heel is just as wide as the regular LP 5 but with an internal plastic heel counter so it doesn't mould around the heel bone, hence providing a worse heel hold.
Just start a collection of merino wool socks. Not water proof, bit will keep you nice a toasty even when wet.
I'm up north from ya in Wisconsin and I love the Lone Peak's in the RSM (basically Altra's version of Gore tex), also the Nike Trail Pegasus 3's in Gore tex are a hot little number as well
I had a bad experience running with the lone peak 3.5 which made me decide not to buy any altra running trail shoes ever again😐
sorry to hear you had a bad experience
I was also sliding….in technical places ….I took away the socks and could find a better fit. I would not buy the same shoe. Thanks
Same issue here with the sliding insole. To fix this I have to tie the mid foot really tight….
@@3545688 i undestand, but is not a solution when you walk/run a lot of kms....i didnt have this issue with the lone peak 4.5
