About this deal

Newly formulated MaxTrac outsole rubber and longer outsole lugs improve the Lone Peak 7’s grip on loose dirt. The lugs now measure 5mm in length—that’s about half a millimeter longer than the teeth on the Lone Peak 6. Peregrine ST Review: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/saucony-peregrine-11-st-review-high-grip-trail-running-shoes After wearing the Lone Peak for years, the newest iteration offers a similar level of stability as previous models. The upper features a new TPU overlay that fits better in the arch area, with well-placed upper lacing eyelets that allow you to optimize your fit. Additionally, because of the wide, foot-shaped toe spread achieved in the forefoot, you can easily stabilize your landing position on the forefoot. Even though the midsole is well-cushioned (with 25mm of Altra Ego), it's also dense, which still gives a low-to-the-ground feel. Some prefer stitched overlays because it is tried and tested, but the Lone Peak now uses welded overlays. The Lone Peak 6 had double stitching throughout the shoe’s overlays, which may seem durable, but one big scuff can leave you with broken stitching that gradually unwinds over time. The same cannot be said for welded overlays, the seams are glued, and as long as the glue doesn’t fail (that’s the big question), these overlays won’t be moving.

Gaitertrap™ hook-and-loop tab secures a strapless gaiter attachment that prevents debris from building up beneath the shoe. In summary the Lone Peak 5 is a fantastic all round trail running shoe with posture improving features, room to spread out and a slipper like feel to boot. It’s ideal for those wanting a shoe that allows for more natural foot function.Have you also run in past editions of the Lone Peak? What do you think of the updates made to this version, especially the new midsole foam?

As a midfoot striker, Kelly said she especially enjoyed the Lone Peak’s ride. “On smooth trails, I felt like I was gliding—almost floating—downhill. It was easy run fast without feeling like the shoes worked against me.”We’ve named the Altra Lone Peak 5 one of the best trail running shoes! See our Best New Trail Shoes of Spring-Summer 2021 for more recent trail running shoe releases. I normally take new shoes out for 5 miles for their very first run, which gives me enough time to feel them out, but also get past that 2-3 mile initial break-in. The shoe is surprisingly comfortable. Ripstop nylon?? I was concerned about the breathability of these: there’s not a ton of venting holes and nylon made me think of my tent and not a breathable mesh-like upper.

Overall, I am impressed with the Lone Peak 5. I am finally starting to see the benefit of maximalist type shoes, but I’ve got a soft spot on my heart for the minimalist revolution from a decade ago. In this article we’ll describe in our opinion, the difference between the Lone Peak 6 and the Lone Peak 5.If you need to exchange an item follow the steps below to guarantee a fast turnaround on your request:
