Altra Lone Peak 6

It was a good generalist shoe that I liked for running, hiking, and backpacking. I did feel that the midsole flattened a bit with moderate use for running, but for hiking and backpacking I don’t have any complaints.

Unfortunately, the threading that holds on the little rubber piece on the toe is coming loose after less than 50 miles. I’m skeptical about the long-term durability of the shoes.

They are super breathable, the opposite of waterproof, and dry relatively quickly. I want to bring a stylish athletic travel shoe for when my Altras inevitably get soaked. Even though Lone Peaks dry relatively fast, I don’t want to walk around for hours with cold swampy feet. Although I’m good with zero-drop shoes, I suck at walking so Xero and VivoBarefoot don’t have enough padding for me.
