Altra Women's Lone Peak 8

Comfortable over hill and dale! The Lone Peak 8 Women from Altra is a trail running and lightweight hiking shoe that places special emphasis on an anatomical fit. To provide ample space for the toes and allow for unrestricted splaying, the toe box is quite wide. Altra follows a similar concept with its Balanced Cushioning™: since the height difference between the heel and the forefoot is 0 mm (zero drop), the foot sits as if barefoot in the Lone Peak 8. This allows the foot to take over the balance work, promoting the fitness of the musculoskeletal system. Despite the barefoot concept, the shoe is designed specifically for movement in rugged terrain. Strategically placed lugs on the outsole provide good traction on moderate and challenging surfaces. Additional eyelets on the instep allow for a customized lacing adjustment to fit individual foot shapes and movement intensity. At the heel, there is a covered Velcro patch that is compatible with Altra's separately available trail gaiters. All in all, the moderately cushioned Lone Peak 8 is the shoe for women who enjoy being active in the outdoors with light gear and want to support their feet in their natural movement.
