I put several pairs of the most popular zero drop wide toe-box shoes on the market through their paces, alongside another popular pair of low drop regular toe box shoes for comparison.

I have worn altras until last spring when I got some topo pursuits. That was a great move. The altras fit and feel great but I cant even get 100 miles out of them before getting holes on the sides near my toes. My topos have a couple hundred on them and have no holes yet. They have the zero drop I love and as much toe space as my roomiest altras, which would be the timp 1.5.

Glad you found a shoe you love! I have tons of miles on both my Lone Peak 5s and 6s with no issues. I'm not even hiking in the 7s yet because the 6s are still going strong. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe they had some batches with quality issues and sold them anyway. I liked a lot of things about the Topos but couldn't get past the "bite" on top of my foot where the tongue was fastened to the upper.

Thanks! Glad it was helpful

Those topo look awesome! Think I'll try em. Been wearing Altra but breakdown to fast.

@ozoutdoors 2 месяца назад

Yeah a few people have commented that. It hasn't been my experience with the Altras. I've got a few hundred miles on my Lone Peak 6s and they are still going strong.

Topo is a great shoe

Switching to zero drop shoes (to my surprise) helped solve my plantar fasciitis problem.

@ozoutdoors 2 месяца назад

Awesome! Glad you found a solution. They work great for me too.

timp 4 is my favourite long distance shoe. people say they fall apart too easily, which i haven't experienced yet. upcoming timp 5 has vibram outsole so i'll definitely try them

@ozoutdoors 9 месяцев назад

Yeah I might try the timp 5s as well, although my Lone Peak 6s are still going strong and I have the 7s as well which I haven't really worn for any serious distance yet. More shoes than I know what to do with :)

Nice comparison video!! I have been wearing a pair of Altra Olympus 4s for hiking. It's pretty rock on trail in NE Pennsylvania and the Olympus stack height really helps. But, the biggest positive for me is the comfort level of that toe box and generally wider feel to the shoe. I like that. I do wish there were more shoes that had that same feel to choose from. That brings me to the only negative about the Olympus, the price! I have considered trying the Lone Peak. Is there anything out there that compares to the Olympus 4 feel?

@matthewgiles123 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! I haven't found anything with as much cushion as the Olympus. There's not much savings with the Lone Peaks either. Unless you get a prior year's model, the new ones are all within about $10 of each other, even from different manufacturers. Ridiculously expensive imho.

@user-il1nx9bl9z 14 дней назад

Wish I knew what drop I need I think i want box toe

@lukepaulson3428 11 месяцев назад

For me the Lone Peaks are too “squishy” feeling. The Superior 6 is in fact “superior”, offering a lower stack height and more ground feel. Thanks!

@ozoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Interesting. Where do you normally hike? A lot of my hiking is in Missouri / Arkansas and I find the Lone Peak is about right for me for the terrain. The Olympus is too squishy for me.

@lukepaulson3428 11 месяцев назад

@@ozoutdoors Upstate New York mostly. I liked my Lone Peaks, but the switch to the Superior is a better fit for me.

@aurtisanminer2827 3 месяца назад

I got a pair of superior 6’s and can not stand them. The toe area has no vertical space and crams my toes. They seem like they’d be fine otherwise.

@B_r_u_c_e 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. I need more footwear with toe boxes like Altra original fit in wide. Vivobarefoot in wide is too narrow. Have you found anything as roomy as Altra original fit wides?

@ozoutdoors 10 месяцев назад

I haven't. Altra seem to have been getting narrower over time, even in their original fit, but original wide still seems to be the roomiest there is on the market.

@paulsmart5199 3 месяца назад

Just too expensive. I'm long term fan of Asics. They work and they are not overly expensive

@ozoutdoors 2 месяца назад

I agree, they are expensive. I've also used Asics for many years for sports and workouts. For hiking I find a wide toe box indispensable and afaik Asics don't have any model with that.
