Altra Lone Peak 6 Trail Running Shoes
Moderate stacked trail shoe with an aggressive outsole and integrated stone guard for anyone looking for a durable and protective trail shoe that can conquer any terrain.
Quick-Dry Air Mesh Upper
An update on previous versions, the quick-dry air mesh used on the upper part of the shoe is not only more breathable, but it has improved durability and security. The soft and flexible mesh of the upper allows you to run through wet and rainy conditions as the upper does not retain water, keeping you light on your feet. The upper also features updated drain ports that improve the flow of water ideal for trail running. The foot shape toe box allows your toes to spread out more naturally, offering greater comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents. The upper has been trimmed down slightly, which has helped make the 6 lighter and more flexible than its predecessor. An updated stone guard is much lighter in weight while offering the same level of protection. This has been done by effectively creating a pressure map of the foot on the stone guard and creating open perforations in the spots where there is very little pressure. This allows for less material to be used while offering protection in the necessary areas. The lacing system has been updated with additional lacing that provides a more secure fit across the forefoot, reducing in-shoe slipping. Finally, the heel loop makes transporting muddy shoes indoors quick and easy.
Altra EGO Midsole
The Lone Peak 6 features an EGO midsole that adds cushioning and flexibility ideal for trail running. Maintaining the same stack height of 25mm as its predecessors, Altra have been able to increase the cushioning and durability of the midsole when it comes to the latest versions of the Lone Peak. The midsole contains many areas with features that provide the shoe with extremely responsive rebound and cushioning, as well as the standard EVA that also protects and rebounds. The cushioning sits directly underneath the foot, which reduces ground impact, returning the energy as a spring for each step that you take. The feet sit on the midsole on a zero-drop platform. This means the heel and the forefoot are the same distance from the ground, encouraging proper low-impact form throughout your trail run.
Maxtrac Outsole
Staying in complete control is crucial on the trails. With the Maxtrac outsole, you can run with confidence. The durable rubber provides the perfect combination of grip and traction, making volatile surfaces incredibly easy to defeat. The Trailclaw lugs underneath are positioned strategically beneath the metatarsals, making toe-offs and sudden bursts count more.
