I bought these shoes because I was going to hike in Oregon for my spring break. I have Altra shoes for working out so I figured I would see what kind of trail running/hiking shoes they had since I knew they were good for my foot type. I just got back from my trip and these shoes were GREAT! The first time I wore them they didn't tear up my ankle/heel like new shoes usually do. When I wore them hiking we were hiking in snow. They had good traction and they got a little wet but my socks never felt wet. They have some mesh covered slits at the front which I think helped keep my feet from getting too hot and sweaty and kept them dry. I never leave Amazon reviews but the whole time I was hiking I was like "Oh my gosh these are amazing I'm so glad I got these". They are light, comfortable and gave my toes space but were tight enough around my heel/bridge. They also fit my insoles well. I'm not usually an outdoors person but I guess I have a good reason now since I have these shoes!

This show provides the perfect amount of ankle support and cushion for the balls of your feet. I real enjoy running the wolf river trails in the shoes. I have zero slippage even after heavy rain. They are true to size and great for people to like an ergonomic/natural feel when running. The width allows for my toes to spread and gives me the opportunity to achieve really good balance even on uneven terrain. Highly recommend. Plus they come in several color ways. I’m thinking about ordering another pair for sure.

I tried all the Altras and these are my favourites. SO comfortable, light and roomy in the toes. Never needed breaking in. There is not a lot of cushioning at the ball of the foot, but it was easily fixed for me by using socks with a small amount of cushioning in the sole. I use these for walking and hiking, not for running. I got the orange ones because they were on significant sale in my size, but the color is actually quite nice - rather more on the coral side than stark raving orange.Just returned from 3 weeks hiking in Ireland and wore these every day on tow paths, hillsides, beaches and cities. They are the best! Very lightweight and comfortable. I bought the water proof version as well, but only needed them on two days (we had unusually fabulous weather). The lack of padding on the bottom was most noticeable in Dublin where I was only walking on concrete, so I switched to socks that had a bit more padding and was fine. I will be buying a pair in a less obtrusive color to wear as regular shoes.

Comfortable, flexible, speedy, grippy. Was a little disappointed how quickly they wore out

Update 2 seasons: I just re-ordered these shoes in the same model and color. These shoes have allowed me to double my hiking distances without any pain or discomfort! I have taken these on a 8-day backpacking trip through the Patagonian backcountry and I was amazed at how well they dried after walking through rivers. I will continue to re-buy these shoes as long as they sell them.--Original review: I am an avid backpacker, who has been slowed in recent years by chronic foot pain and discomfort (blisters, fatigue, etc). I have tried many different types of boots in an attempt to increase my endurance and comfort on the trail. Despite convention recommending sturdier boots when carrying a heavy pack, I decided to give trail runners a try. I also wanted to find a pair with a wide toe box in hopes that would improve comfort. Yesterday I used the Lone Peak 6s for the first time when backpacking. The trip was a total of 10 miles with 2200' - including 6 miles in snow. I experienced no discomfort at all - which is incredible for me. The shoes had great traction for snow (and microspikes fit over them well in firmer snow conditions), and dried quickly after river crossings and kick stepping. I wore these shoes without breaking them in, and I didn't have to tape up my feet. No blisters, rubbing, or foot discomfort. I liked the zero drop heel. I'm really optimistic I found a solution to my foot pain and that I will be able to get in many more miles this summer!

Love the wide toe box

I ordered my first pair of Ultra Lone Peak 6 from REI; wore them on the At and wore them through the Ocean to Lake hike in Florida. Absolutely love them! Light weight, designed to be wide, excellent support, have velcro tabs for gators if needed, dark color, so dirt doesn't show up, and dries out quickly. REI doesn't carry them anymore, so I was so happy to find them on Amazon!
