What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn the Lone Peak line for years, and the 9 Waterproof Mid might be my favorite for shoulder-season hikes. It keeps my feet dry without overheating, and I love the roomy toe box for longer miles. The mid-height and overlay cage really boost support without adding bulk, which makes it great for everything from mellow overnighters to big day hikes."We hike longer, drier, and more confidently with the Lone Peak 9 Waterproof Mid Hiking Boot underfoot. Altra's fan-favorite trail shoe gets a versatile update with mid-ankle support and a fully waterproof design-crafted from PFC-free recycled mesh and a Hydroguard lining that stands up to wet weather. Whether we're trekking through high desert trails, misty forests, or rocky ridgelines, we get full protection without sacrificing breathability or agility. The refreshed Altra EGO(TM) midsole provides responsive cushioning that keeps us connected to the terrain while softening harsh impacts from rock and root. MaxTrac(TM) rubber underfoot grips confidently on dry dirt, damp slabs, and anything in between, while the Original FootShape(TM) gives our toes the space to spread and move naturally, mile after mile. A molded heel collar and overlay cage add secure support, making this one of our go-to hikers for technical singletrack and variable terrain alike.
