Altra | Men’s Lone Peak 7 Running Shoes – Deep Forest

Advice for Trail Runners: The Altra Men’s Lone Peak 7 are Altra’s most popular trail running shoes. With its ultra grippy outsole and protective midsole, this isn’t a surprise.

Underfoot Feel

The Altra Lone Peak 7 trail running shoes feature MaxTrac rubber. This delivers just the right combination of grip, traction and durability on trail surfaces. To explain further, while the sticky rubber grips to flat wet surfaces, the lugs also dig into looser ground to provide traction.

As the outsole rubber is hard wearing, it should cope with lots of use on hard packed trails too.

From a cushioning perspective, the Lone Peak 7 trail running shoes should feel protective, but not soft. This is partly down to the Stoneguard that runs through the midsole. This stops sharp objects penetrating the cushioning and hurting your feet. Altra’s EGO cushioning adapts to uneven surfaces so you feel stable. 

Upper Fit

The Quick-Dry Air Mesh upper shouldn’t hold moisture in wet conditions. Durable overlays indicate that these are built for trails. That’s because these provide great protection against abrasive surfaces on rough off-road routes. 

Altra running shoes feature FootShape toe boxes. This means they typically offer more spacious fits than standard uppers. The Lone Peak 7 trail running shoes have Altra’s roomiest toe box – the Original FootShape Fit.

As a result, these are great trail running shoes for wide feet.

Ideal Run Type

We suggest opting for the Altra Men’s Lone Peak 7 trail running shoes when you’re covering a wide range of surfaces, including technical terrain. By this, we mean muddy paths, rocky trails and steeper slopes. 

Ultimately, the Lone Peak 7 are one of the best all-round trail running shoes. 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
