With a zero-drop platform, 25mm stack height, and Altra's Original FootShape Fit, it gives your foot a natural stance and plenty of room in the toe box - whether you're out for a day hike or grinding through miles on a longer route. The waterproof construction keeps your feet dry when conditions get wet, and the low-cut profile keeps the shoe light and nimble underfoot.Under the hood, the updated Altra EGO midsole foam offers a balance of cushioning and ground feel that trail hikers tend to appreciate on varied terrain. The MaxTrac outsole is designed to grip across different trail surfaces, while Stoneguard technology adds protection underfoot from sharp rocks and debris. A no-sew overlay and recycled polyester mesh upper keep the construction clean and durable, and the webbing ghillie integrated lacing with a reinforced heel locks the foot in place without pressure points. An overlay cage adds extra protection where you need it, GaiterTrap attachments let you run a gaiter when conditions call for it, and the whole package weighs in at 13.85 oz in a men's size 10.5 - light enough to move well on the trail without sacrificing protection.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I put these on for a rocky day hike and the first thing I noticed was how much room my toes had - that FootShape toe box is the real deal. The zero-drop feel takes a little getting used to if you're coming from a traditional hiking shoe, but once you settle in, the ground connection is really natural. The waterproofing held up well when I crossed a couple of wet sections, and the Stoneguard gave me confidence on the rougher stretches."" - Dave, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, San Diego, CAWho It's Best ForIf you prefer a zero-drop, natural-feeling hiking shoe with a roomy toe box and waterproof protection, the Lone Peak 9 WP Low is worth a serious look.
