Equipped with the outsole everyone has been waiting for

ALTRA's iconic model "LONE PEAK" has been remodeled as "9+". The biggest update is the renewal of the outsole to Vibram® MegaGrip. It provides excellent grip in all conditions, and the improved lug pattern provides high grip performance that sets it apart from previous models.

The upper design has also been revised to improve the fit around the midfoot and heel, further evolving the natural comfort that is characteristic of LONE PEAK.

The no-sew overlay parts and ripstop mesh provide extra durability, while the double-layered toe guard provides extensive protection for your toes, keeping your feet safe from trouble on the trail.

Foot Shape Design

ALTRA's unique "last" design for men and women was devised by kinesiology experts who adopted various latest research results to realize natural running. The inspiration was taken from the human "foot" itself. By allowing the toes to naturally spread and relax, you can achieve the best balance and stability, and also improve the ability to absorb shock when landing.

Strong feet, lower legs and thighs are your greatest weapon in reducing the risk of running injuries.
The biggest enemy of marathons and jogging, which are becoming popular as lifelong sports, is running injuries. In order to continue enjoying "running" forever, please try running in a "natural way."

Natural Foot Structure

Here, the term "barefoot" is defined as the foot in its natural state. The literal translation of "barefoot" is "natural foot." "Natural foot" refers to the most efficient foot structure for "standing upright," "walking," and "running," which humans acquired in the process of acquiring bipedal walking.

The three arches are the most important natural structure of the foot.

  • Medial longitudinal arch = the largest longitudinal arch on the inside of the foot
  • Lateral longitudinal arch = outer arch of the plantar
  • Transverse arch = forefoot arch

The three arch structures mentioned above perform the important functions of the foot - (1) absorption, (2) rebound, and (3) stability - which allow us to stand, walk, and run efficiently.

To make the most of this function, Altra has designed the toe area to be roomy, with the lateral arch sinking in to absorb shock when the forefoot hits the ground, allowing the toes to spread out.

Zero Drop

It simply means that the heel and toe of the shoe are the same distance from the ground. Most shoes have a heel to toe ratio of 2:1. A heel to toe ratio of 1:1 is generally called zero drop. Video analysis has also shown that ALTRA's zero drop shoes reduce heel strikes and increase the landing area, maintaining natural and correct posture and alignment, and dramatically reducing the impact on joints and tendons.

The role of shoes in the future will not be to absorb shock or provide support, but to be a tool to enable natural running.

One advantage of zero drop is that it helps you achieve the correct posture. When wearing high heels (where the heel is higher than the toes), your body leans forward, as shown in B in the right figure, and your knee and hip joints bend to return to their original position. This causes your pelvis to tilt forward, and your lumbar spine must curve more strongly, resulting in a posture like C in the right figure. This is a basic human structural adaptation known as a compensation.

When natural alignment is lost, the body is unable to absorb the various stresses that arise during exercise, which increases the strain on muscles, tendons, and joints.

The greatest feature of "barefoot running," which has become popular in recent years, is the very simple fact that it corrects this unnatural posture and creates the most balanced, natural state for humans.
Altra has adopted the "zero drop" system to achieve the feeling of "barefoot running."

Staff review

The Megagrip gives the shoes an impression of increased mobility. But the LONE PEAK 9+ is a pair of shoes that gives you a sense of security and makes you think, "It's LONE PEAK after all." The moderate cushioning, ground contact, and natural fit are comfortable and not found in other shoes. For me, these are shoes I would like to use for daily hiking and relaxing trail runs.
