Wish the interviewers did a bit more interviewing though. Skipping all info on pricing and release for the superior and outroad. Being a bit more prepared as an interviewer would be great for the shoe company interviewed and viewers.
Thanks for the preview of the 2023 updated trail models! My favorite is the Superior 5 for its lightweight & nice ground feel, so I'm glad the stack height will not change from 21mm. My only complaint with that model is the toe box is a bit shallow in height compared to the Lone Peak.
@@tjgavan which shoe. what toe? comparing to what? o4 or earlier. earlier o3 even had the same inside post like p5. outside same guiderail gen1 like p1.5 etc
so you took something that was already amazing and didn't need fixing and totally changed it and also while you were at it raised the price??? well done and it has a different shape to the upper as well. just when i found a pair of sneakers that fit like slippers and don't squish my foot y'all have to go and alter them. thanks. hope my fears turn out to be just that a fear of the unknown. thankfully I bought a couple pairs of LP6's so I can hold off finding out for a while
I just returned a pair of LP 7s. They've lost the comfort factor. I've loved putting on all of the lone peaks I've worn in the past, but not the 7s. Multiple issues really. I went and bought two pairs of 6s.
Exactly what I was hoping to see too! Altra now have nothing with a decent mud grip. I’ve heard of people getting Superiors resoled with a more aggressive grip. I assume Altra Hq is somewhere very dry!
haven't bought any of these models. lp7 is a must buy. or2 with updated maxtrac i presume with the same water slippage fix been asked for since forever on other models?(u guys forgot to doublecheck on that?) superior might not be in stock but i'll push for it for my country, seems like a bit more lug contact as well with the "park" definition and all but obv not as much as OR but importantly 21mm stack (roadies crying on the other vid about kayenta)🤣 u guys could have done some closeup these looks like slick nice uppers.
@@lyrilljackson For my style of running the LP 3 was good for me. 4, 4.5 were horrible, 5 started to get back to what I liked about the 3 and LP 6 I felt was the first LP that I ran on that was as good or slightly better then the LP 3. The LP 6 is on sale so I went ahead and purchased a couple extra pair. I'll certainly try the 7 and if they are as good as the 6 then I'll use them. If not then I have a couple pairs of 6s to hold me over until the next version.
How come every year shoe manufacturers claim to have a better shoe than last years and next year one better than what they have in their hands right now just make a shoe a stick with it 😂😂😂😂
Note to Altra, you released the crazy colors for the Lone Peak 7, now can you please release some wearable colorways? I can help the design team, looks like they need it.
I think altras are amazing shoes. However, they need to be cautious about ever slimming them down to be like Nikes or those other brands! One of the most successful altra models is the lone peak which is their widest fit. I think that says something!!! They shouldn’t listen to “people” who say they have an odd or “weird” shape! There’s a lot of idiots and “rats” out there who just follow the crowds!! Don’t listen to them!! I personally love the footshape! I thinks it’s absolutely awesome!! I happily wear it in any type of shoe!! I think the pointed shapes of “regular” shoes are the weird ones!! You see people with squished toes all over the place and you can see the strain and stress in their eyes after a long day. I don’t know who told people and shoe makers that shoes have to be that way! I think it’s just astonishing!! My advice to altra is be a leader!! Don’t follow!! For me it was a life changing experience when I first found the altra timp!! I’d been running in cascadias for my trail runs and after runs my feet were literally numb! I felt so relieved after my runs! Then I found the timp!! I couldn’t believe it!!! Somebody out there had been a LEADER!!! Somebody had done what needed to be done!! I put on that first timp and ran and I was so happy! I felt I could run like double the distance! And I didn’t feel like taking off my shoes after the runs!! I was more comfortable in my running shoes that even my regular shoes!! My advice and suggestion to altra is keep making foot shaped shoes. Don’t start pointing your shoes and “sliming” them down too much! If you do you’ll lose your customers and there will be no reason for your existence! It will be then end of your brand!!! Don’t let the financiers and marketers who want a quick buck totaly destroy rhese shoes! There’s a market for shoes that fit feet well while providing the protection of sneakers!!! To this end, my suggestion to altra is to make a “lone peak” with the sole of a torin!!!!! Make a lone peak for the road and street! I see a lot of people wearing lone peaks in offices, on the street etc!! I think it suggests they want the lone peak but with the street soles!!! I’ve personally thought about taking my lone peaks to the cobbler to have them soles with street or road soles. That’s how good I think they’re!
@@jelam262 most people heel strike, whether it be running or walking. Most people also stand with the majority of their weight on their heels. Most companies, one for example being Hoka, account for this and also the breakdown of the cushion over time by adding a small drop to their shoes.
@@steve9377 I definitely agree with that. While every time you run/hike uphill you'll have a loaded neg heel drop. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Not sure how I would have finished 10,000m of uphill at UTMB if so...Also if you have less drop while running, you'll naturally land more under your center of gravity during your gait cycle, with less heel strike than you would otherwise.
@@steve9377 Most people shouldn’t be running on their heels. That’s why Altra doesn’t have a heel to toe drop. The idea is to land mid foot which is how humans naturally run until they wear shoes with a heel-to-toe drip and smash toes together.
@@ckokomo808 maybe they shouldn’t be heel striking but they do. That’s also assuming that most people are running in the shoes. I’m sure there are people out there that don’t even run in Altras and just wear them as an everyday shoe.
Wish the interviewers did a bit more interviewing though. Skipping all info on pricing and release for the superior and outroad. Being a bit more prepared as an interviewer would be great for the shoe company interviewed and viewers.
Agree 100%
They aren’t the biggest fans of Altra. Not sure how this played into the actual interview portion.
They don't care, and it shows, 😆
Thanks for the preview of the 2023 updated trail models! My favorite is the Superior 5 for its lightweight & nice ground feel, so I'm glad the stack height will not change from 21mm. My only complaint with that model is the toe box is a bit shallow in height compared to the Lone Peak.
When are they releasing the superior 6?
Hey Thanks Love it big guy
would love to see the Olympus in a wide width in the future
It’s already pretty wide?it’s on their widest foot shape model. The original foot shape.
@@tjgavan it's not roomy enough vertically.
everything looks great! so excited for these.
Lone peak 6 are great hikers hope they have not changed to much with the 7s
Anyone else watching this hoping to see a King MT replacement!? I’m on my last pair - hurry up please Altra!
With the Olympus 5 on the wall behind the rep, does that mean we shouldn't expect an update for it in 2023?
Was thinking exactly the same thing. Interesting toe on that shoe. Looked like a departure from the more anotomic rounded toe box?
Olympus is kinda on the 2 year cycle it seems
@@paddywiggle 3 actually , covid.
@@tjgavan which shoe. what toe? comparing to what? o4 or earlier. earlier o3 even had the same inside post like p5. outside same guiderail gen1 like p1.5 etc
What was the release date for the outroad 2?
mid i guess.
Yes, any better estimates on the Outroad 2 date?

Just curious to know if the heel slippage issue of the lone peak 6 that I found has been fixed in the 7.
I had zero heel slippage issues with my Lone Peak 6’s.
Like for Robbe and Taylor. Thanks for this information about Altra 2023. A nice Saturday for everyone. 🌝🏃♂️⛰
I just returned a pair of LP 7s. They've lost the comfort factor. I've loved putting on all of the lone peaks I've worn in the past, but not the 7s. Multiple issues really. I went and bought two pairs of 6s.
No updates on the Mont Blanc? 😢
😅😅😅😅😅
It’s a shoe that has a lot of potential, imo, but needs a a few adjustments. Bummer!
The Lone Peak has a big question mark for me - no drain holes! That'll turn off a lot of hikers
Yeah and it seems they lost the protection in the front as well. Shame, because i would love the updated Maxtrac.
King MT are where?!
Exactly what I was hoping to see too! Altra now have nothing with a decent mud grip. I’ve heard of people getting Superiors resoled with a more aggressive grip. I assume Altra Hq is somewhere very dry!
Bring back the King MT. What are you thinking?
haven't bought any of these models. lp7 is a must buy. or2 with updated maxtrac i presume with the same water slippage fix been asked for since forever on other models?(u guys forgot to doublecheck on that?) superior might not be in stock but i'll push for it for my country, seems like a bit more lug contact as well with the "park" definition and all but obv not as much as OR but importantly 21mm stack (roadies crying on the other vid about kayenta)🤣 u guys could have done some closeup these looks like slick nice uppers.
maxtrac finally not useless on wet surfaces?
Better be… they want more money for it
Gosh I hope they don't screw up the Lone Peak 6. 6 was the first since the 3 that had the feel I wanted. Time to stock up on 6 since they are on sale.
? did u even use 1 and 2
@@lyrilljackson I never tried 1 and 2. 3 was my first LP.
@@RayLabs so how are u saying "screw up" as if u are actually like all the way back og.

Hopefully, the Lone Peak comes in a wide width
It does.
Are they fixing the durability? I want to try their shoes, but the reviews, even on their own website, are horrible.

Zero drop and cushioned midsole, sounds like a combo for loaded negative heel drop.
Not unless you spend all day walking on your heels 🤣
