DESCRIPTION

When your trail shoes need to do it all — from rocky ascents and technical descents to cruisy fireroads and thru-hikes — the Altra Lone Peak 9 steps up as your ultimate off-road companion. With every iteration, Lone Peak fans expect more grip, more durability, and the signature zero-drop, foot-shaped freedom that makes this the most beloved trail shoe in Altra’s lineup. This version delivers it all, with refinements in traction, fit, and protection that make every trail more runnable, and every adventure more enjoyable.

Built on Altra’s Original FootShape™ Fit, the Lone Peak 9 offers a naturally roomy toe box and zero-drop platform that promote strong, stable alignment from ground contact to toe-off. The midsole features a tweaked Altra EGO™ compound for that sweet spot of cushioned responsiveness — plush enough for long days on the trail, yet snappy enough for uptempo running. Underfoot, an updated MaxTrac™ outsole with enhanced rubber formulation gives you better grip and longer wear life. And with StoneGuard™ rock protection, your feet are shielded from trail hazards without compromising flexibility or ground feel.

The durable ripstop mesh upper has been subtly refined to provide structure, breathability, and long-lasting wear, while the GaiterTrap™ hook-and-loop system is there if you want to add extra debris protection.

The result? A trail shoe that’s not only built for rugged versatility but also respects your natural biomechanics — delivering confidence on every terrain, any day.

Best For

• Trail runners looking for a natural, zero-drop ride with plenty of toe space for technical terrain

• Hikers and thru-hikers who want all-day comfort, grip, and protection
