ALTRA LONE PEAK 7 Trail Running Shoe First Impressions and First Run Review. It's been a while since we've featured any running shoes on the channel from zero drop brand Altra. In fact, the last time I tested and reviewed a pair of their shoes, it was the slightly disappointing Mont Blanc trail running shoe. Hopefully this time around it will be a much more positive experience because we are taking the latest version of Altra's best selling trail shoe for its first run, the Lone Peak 7. This will be my first time running in the Lone Peak model, I've heard a lot of positive feedback about it over the years so I'm looking forward to lacing them up and hitting the trails!
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Many thanks just what I'm after the Laura Lonepeak 7..... I love my last pair of Lone Peak 4 (Stoneage) .... but love running Snowdon (perfect on rocks & gravel) in those and the zero drop is perfect for the mountains (not the track).... Great review Loyd - and I've been searching hi and low for this review!! Much appreciated!

@timeonfeet Год назад

Great review Loyd. Thanks for sharing. Really want to try out some Altra shoes this year and these sound pretty spot on, definitely like the idea of having a decent width to a trail shoe

@oliviakillen Год назад

@aodanoleary5504 Год назад

Got the 7s recently in Dark Grey, look and feel great.I have had previous versions, these are the best. I use them for long distance walks on a mix of rough roads and forest and coastal trails. I think this is what there best suited for, they appear to be the shoe of choice for many long distance trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail or Camino route. 😊

@TomLarkin_ Год назад

@DartmoorPaul Год назад

Phew. I was almost not going to watch this review of my favourite trail (dry) shoe, as I know some of your reviews of Altra in the past have been a bit marmite. I love the 6 and didn’t think from other reviews the 7 was a good upgrade, but if grip and drainage are still good then sounds good. AND great to hear Steve is at the ARC! Looking forward to dot watching this weekend 😊

@pheath6606 Год назад

All of my day to day shoes and boots are minimalist. I’m also a mid to forefoot striker. I love the lone peak 6 for almost all surfaces. I also find my feet keep in place in the shoes, so I can confidently run over uneven ground and enjoy running without thinking too hard about it. Fair comment about the toe box protection.

@chriswalker7651 Год назад

I ran the Copper Trail Noir in these. Straight out the box, and my first experience of Altra's. No issues at all! No nice being able to move your toes properly. Great shoe for wide feet.

@jtggardner Год назад

Fab video - what an amazing day you had for that test run!!! I remember going into your shop years ago, Loyd, and you being extremely sniffy about Altra! And it was true - their build quality was pants. Looking better these days, which is nice to see. I've used the Lone Peaks for long distance hiking, but always think of them as a dry-weather shoe 🙃

@Run4Adventure Год назад

Thanks Jacob, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it sure was a lovely day! The durability on some of their models is a bit suspect but the Lone Peak has always been a pretty solid shoe 👍 It will be interesting to see how the these hold up but it looks like it's well put together. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 😊

That’s a proper shoe test. What a fantastic route. Interested to try Altra’s but so many bad reports of them falling apart. So a long term review would be good. Good vid and review though enjoyed it.

@Since-80s Год назад

the reports are true. i like the topo terraventure. altras (the canvas ones) started ripping themselves to shreds within a month. now after about a year of wearing them as not my main shoe but a comfort pick because they look so ratty. im a shoe person, having my shoes fall apart so early feels real bad.

Even though Topo are my favorite shoe, Altra are my #2. They are the ONLY shoe that when my plantar fasciitis is hurting, I just put them on, stand up and feel NO pain at all.Previous Lone Peak didn't work for my feet. What worked for me was Torin 4.5 PLUSH and the pair of Olympus 5 GTX that I got yesterday at REI in the Garage Sale. the customer got the wrong size then sent them back. They are Brand Freaken NEW. The price was reduced to $100.00 and I already had a $15.00 REI coupon. They costed me $85.00 for a $200.00 shoe and they help my foot problems immensely Thanks for the video my Running Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

My fav trail shoe so far. They just fit and felt perfect straight out of the box

@jansommerlund5497 Год назад

How wonderful with a bit of snow. Brilliant My last Astra was the Lone Peak 3 and the Olympus 4. The 3 was actually a very good shoe, the first 80-100 km. An then the shoe just totally collapsed and fell apart. Midsole hard as a wooden plank and the shoe itself just fell apart. Haven't tried the model since. The Olympus 4 was a big disappointment. Narrow and not at all comfy or soft in the midsole. Traction is usually good in the Altras, sounds like the case here too. Thanks for review Loyd. Maybe Altra is worth testing again for me?

@grahamambridge2856 Год назад

Thnx for review. Give it a month and they will have lost about 2mm of tread. Had the last 4 versions and switched to Topo now with vibram. Not buying Altra again until they give it vibram. Plus even with the rock plate you can still feels rocks... Not sure if that's the same in the V7. The Topo pursuit has no rock plate but far better protection. I think my Altra days are over, unless I do a thru-hike. Cheers. Great channel.

@sellis1799 Год назад

Tried a pair of the Altra Olympus at the NEC (never tried Altra before) and I found when I ran in them, my feet seemed to slap the floor. Don't think it was due to the zero drop, but possibly more of the shape of the shoe. However, very comfortable. Use to Hoka, but may give them a go?

@douglascarrphotography Год назад

Hi thx for the video but just a correction it hasn’t got the Ego Max midsole just Ego Midsole

@saurelius5217 Год назад

I have no need for a trail shoe, but I bought these because they're the only zero drop shoe on the planet that actually comes in 13 wide. I love them.

@Tandy118 Год назад

Hey Loyd, great video, thanks! Could you compare this shoe to something like the innov8 trailfly 270? They're on sale atm and wondering whether to pick them up, these altras or the saucony xodus ultra 🤔

@danielmilton2634 Год назад

I enjoy a zero drop and do like an Altra but sadly they just refuse to make a shoe with much grip these days... RIP MT King Would have liked to try one for something like Arc but don't think there is enough grip I feel this shoe competes really well with the INOV8 Trailfly 270 (or whatever its called these days - Terra Ultra 270). I think I would prefer the INOV8

@DanilaT 9 месяцев назад

I felt very firm type of midsole under my 60 kilos. It looks great for soft surfaces and low pace because your fast pace in mountains or on hardpark kills you joints and muscles

Hey Loyd can I say this is more for shorter distances?. I'm looking for something lighter and speedier on top of my existing Asics Trabuco 11 but for longer distances Altra Timp should be more suitable correct? Thanks

@stephanpowell6563 Год назад

Thanks for this great early review. I’ve been looking at Altra’s for a while but worried about the zero drop. Do you have any issues when reviewing these after more conventional drop shoes?

@cartervepley2143 Год назад

It’s best to kind of ease into them a bit if you’ve never worn them before.

@GTE_Channel Год назад

Like Carter said, easing into them is key. Your calves will let you know how you are doing. I'm fully transitioned and cant be more happy.

@jeffagostinelli_official Год назад

How much space would you say you have from the end of your big toe to the end of the shoe?

@brewlovinrunner 11 месяцев назад

I did a 6 miler easy run to test these out today. They grip the dirt well and feel really comfortable. I can’t say they’re better than the 6’s but I can say they’re at least as good. The heel is more padded. Otherwise they felt the same.

@brewlovinrunner 10 месяцев назад

Update: They’re starting to feel flat and the extra padding in the heel causes some pressure points for me. Otherwise they’re not bad. I wish Altra would have just taken the 6’s and put the new outsole on it…or vibram.

@Jinx-ig1fz Год назад

I have the lone peak 5s and the heel definitely slips. It's has good traction but the heel is a letdown. It's good to see that Altra is dialing in the lone peaks.

@Fjallkloka_Aventyr Год назад

I have the same and never had issue with heels, it's not only about the shoe.

@michaelalbrecht3395 Год назад

@philgee5220 Год назад

Nice review Loyd. I too didn't get on with the MB's because of that heel slip mostly but have always liked as opposed to loved the Lone Peak. One thing I would say that doesn't work too well for me with this shoe is that I have quite narrow feet (as I thought you did too going by past reviews) so have found that the lateral movement on say cambered trails etc isn't great and I can feel my foot moving about like a good'n. Apart from that though i would agree that the grip and general feel and ride is nice.

@Run4Adventure Год назад

I definitely haven't got wide feet but they're not super narrow either. I had no issues with any movement in the upper out on its first run, felt nice and secure Phil 👍

Thanks for „kind of“ recommending them, I almost instantly ordered a pair and was stoked right away. Certainly not the last pair of Altras to find their way into my rotation! Does anyone have experience with the „Escalante“ model? Is it the „road version“ or are they a lot different (away from the obvious differences, of course)?

@teatowel11 Год назад

@Run4Adventure Год назад

I'm not a fan "waterproof" running shoes of I'm honest. I've found that they don't breath as well and if you do get water inside the upper it's hard to get out! I'd personally always go for the standard version. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊

@scriptosaurusrex Год назад

Did I miss this, but how is the drainage? There's been a lot of talk about dropping the drainage ports from the LP7, even though the repositioned and designing ones on the lp6 were a big talking point by altra. It also looks very different in shape, so to hear you find them fit well, when you normally seem to get on well with the (way too tight for me) hokas is a bit worrying given the reason altra has been successful in the past was a moderately wide toebox as standard. Maybe the new brand owners are changing direction, which would suck so much given how many people wouldn't run in anything but a lone peak...

@Run4Adventure Год назад

I did mention in the video that they seemed to drain well and it was very wet out there on the run 👍 The Lone Peak 7 has still got good width in the toe box, I'm pretty Altra will never change that. I've actually always liked the fit of Altras, apart from the Mont Blanc that didn't work for me at all. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
