Altra Lone Peak 6

A legend of Altra Running that continues to evolve to make his legacy still important when it comes to running in mountain terrain. New version of the coveted Altra Lone Peak 6, or what is the same: a true all-terrain shoe that maintains the main hallmarks of the American brand: zerodrop and wider footbed in the front area of the shoe to maximize the running experience or any trekking route, as the case may be.

Edition after edition, and despite its novelties, there is immutable in this successful model of Altra Running. We already tell you that this new revision of theAltra Lone Peak 6 trail running shoes is no exception that proves the rule, because the characteristic of its great versatility is the hallmark of this silhouette, which has been designed for the most assiduous trail runner/trekker to face any type of surface in trail territory.

What are the most outstanding features of the Altra Lone Peak 6?

That this sixth version of Altra Running 's best-selling Lone Peak is among the preferences of trail running and trekking fans is not something that catches anyone by surprise, because in this model all the most cutting-edge materials and the latest generation technologies of the American brand are combined.

That characteristic zero-millimeterdrop is something that also cannot be negotiated in Altra models to present a low-profile geometry, which requires adaptation, but undoubtedly favors more natural and fluid transitions.

Although the running experience is very similar to the previous version of the Altra Lone Peak 5, the differential valor of these Altra Lone Peak 6 is contained in its midsole with that innovative AltraEGO foam, full length, and that endows the shoe with a reliable and secure cushioning feel, which enhance protection, but also more efficient level of responsiveness underfoot.

Also a trademark of the company is the configuration of the outsole, which features the exclusive MaxTrac compound, including TrailClaw multidirectional lugging, improving traction and grip on virtually any type of mountain terrain. To all this we must add its high resistance to abrasion, which will make these Altra Lone Peak 6 have a longer service life.

Redesigned upper, the main novelty of the Altra Lone Peak 6

As we have already seen in other emblematic silhouettes from the house of Utah - read the Altra Superior 5, for example, the main novelty that these Altra Lone Peak 6 bring with them is located in the configuration of their upper. In this section, the technicians and product developers at Altra Running have opted to implement a redesign of the upper of the shoe. Although, rather, we can speak of a two-for-one, because these Altra Lone Peak 6 not only change the technical mesh lining -quick-drying-, but there is also a substantial modification in its lacing framework. Now, this strategic point of the model is more personalized, which results in a more adaptable and secure fit. Something that benefits not only mountain runners, but also the most daring hikers.

It should also be noted that these Lone Peak 6 from Altra Running incorporate a network of updated overlays in its upper to reinforce that more personalized fit feeling, but also contribute to improve the aerodynamics of the model.
