FAQs

How do I clean the Altra Lone Peak 9 waterproof shoes?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Let them air dry naturally away from heat sources.

What is the 'barefoot design' and 'zero drop'?

The 'barefoot design' refers to the roomy toe box that allows toes to spread naturally. 'Zero drop' means the heel and forefoot are at the same distance from the ground, promoting a more natural gait and posture, mimicking walking barefoot.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running as well as hiking?

Yes, the Altra Lone Peak series is well-regarded for both hiking and trail running due to their lightweight, comfortable, and grippy design. The waterproof feature is a bonus for mixed conditions.

How long does the waterproof feature typically last?

The waterproof membrane is designed for durability. With proper care, it can last for a significant portion of the shoe's lifespan. Periodic reapplication of a suitable waterproofing treatment can help maintain its effectiveness.

Will my feet get hot in these waterproof shoes?

The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper to help manage heat. However, like all waterproof footwear, they may be less breathable than non-waterproof shoes in very hot, dry conditions. The recycled polyester mesh aims to optimize this balance.

What is the main difference between the Lone Peak 9 and previous versions?

The Lone Peak 9 features an upgraded waterproof upper with a no-sew overlay, 100% PFC-free recycled polyester mesh, added lacing loops for a locked-in feel, and a molded heel collar for enhanced comfort and fit, alongside updates to the midsole for improved protection.

Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?

While waterproof, they are not insulated boots. For very cold weather, pairing them with warm, moisture-wicking socks is recommended. For extreme cold, specialized winter boots might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period of several hikes, gradually increasing the duration of wear. Check that the lacing system is adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit.

Water is seeping into the shoes

Inspect the shoes for any visible tears or damage to the waterproof membrane or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. If the waterproofing has diminished, consider applying a suitable re-waterproofing treatment.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any mud, debris, or packed-in material that might be affecting traction. The deep lugs are designed for grip, but accumulated dirt can reduce their effectiveness.

Feet feel cold in dry conditions

While the shoes are waterproof, the membrane can reduce breathability. For very cold, dry conditions, consider using thicker, insulated hiking socks. Ensure proper circulation by not lacing the shoes too tightly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for all-weather hiking.
  • Superior grip on diverse surfaces due to deep lugs.
  • Natural foot movement encouraged by barefoot design and wide toe box.
  • Durable construction with recycled materials for sustainability.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with added lacing and heel support features.
  • Lightweight feel for reduced fatigue on long treks.

Cons

  • Barefoot design may require a break-in period for those accustomed to traditional shoes.
  • The taupe color may show dirt more readily on dusty trails.
  • While offering support, they may not be sufficient for users needing maximum rigid ankle support.
  • The no-sew overlay, while durable, might be less forgiving for extremely specific foot shapes.
  • Waterproof membranes can sometimes reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof options in very hot conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Altra Lone Peak 9 shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring they fit correctly. It is recommended to wear them with appropriate hiking socks. Due to the barefoot design, a gradual break-in period is advised to allow your feet to adapt.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for men and are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including trail running, hiking, and general outdoor exploration.

Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of your Altra Lone Peak 9 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, as they can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
  2. Drying: Never dry shoes by a direct heat source (e.g., radiator, direct sunlight) as this can warp or damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider applying a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for hiking footwear to refresh the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the upper, ensuring continued water resistance.
