Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lone Peak 9+ shoes, it is recommended to clean them after muddy hikes by rinsing the outsoles and brushing away dried dirt from the mesh upper. Do not machine wash or dry the shoes, as excessive heat can compromise the adhesive and foam properties. Because these shoes feature a zero-drop design, if you are new to Altra, start with shorter hikes to allow your Achilles tendon and calf muscles to adapt to the lower heel height. Always ensure the fit allows for a thumb's width of space at the front to account for foot swelling during long-distance efforts.
