Altra Lone Peak 9+ GTX Women's

Altra Lone Peak 9+ GTX Women's review: what runners say

Fit

Roomy fit, consistent with Lone Peak tradition: spacious toebox, original Altra last. The Gore-Tex adds thickness to the upper, reducing internal volume with material bunching reported during initial runs.

Feel

Low-profile Ego midsole, zero drop, natural and flat ride. Both the Vibram Megagrip outsole and Gore-Tex introduce a noticeable stiffness requiring a break-in period before settling.

Durability

Full-coverage Vibram Megagrip outsole; no precise mileage data available, but the choice of Megagrip explicitly aims for greater durability compared to previous versions.

Best for

Wet technical trails, snow, and winter singletrack. Suitable for runners seeking elemental protection on uneven terrain; less ideal for those wanting responsiveness or an immediate feel from the first kilometer.

Weak points

Marked out-of-the-box stiffness, with a necessary break-in period noted by multiple sources. The Gore-Tex reduces internal volume and retains heat; the high weight (12.4 oz men's) is a recurring criticism.
