"Women's Altra® Lone Peak 9+ GTX: If you hike or trail run in wet conditions and want a shoe that keeps your feet dry without sacrificing grip or fit, the Lone Peak 9+ GTX is worth a serious look. This women's waterproof trail hiking shoe pairs a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper with a Vibram® Megagrip outsole, so you get reliable protection from the elements and confident traction on wet or dry terrain. The GORE-TEX upper is lightweight and breathable while still being backed by the GORE-TEX GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise - a combination that works whether you're logging miles on a muddy trail or navigating a wet approach.The Vibram® Megagrip outsole is a high-performance sticky rubber compound that holds its grip across varied surfaces and holds up over time. Underfoot, the Altra EGO™ midsole foam gives you a slightly cushioned feel with a grounded connection to the trail - not a thick, disconnected ride, but enough cushioning to stay comfortable over long distances. The 0 mm drop keeps your foot in a natural position from heel to toe. Altra's FootShape™ Fit gives you the roomiest toe box in the lineup, with space for your toes to splay naturally and a relaxed fit through the midfoot. A shortened toe cap adds protection without limiting flexibility, and the GaiterTrap™ hook-and-loop tab lets you attach a gaiter without any extra hardware. If you size up half a size, this shoe fits true to Altra's recommended sizing guidance.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I took these out on a wet, rooty trail and was really impressed by how the Vibram outsole held on slick surfaces. The toe box is noticeably roomy - my toes had real space to move, which made a difference on longer climbs. And staying dry in a shoe that still breathes this well is harder to find than you'd think."" - Rachel, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Carlsbad, CAWho It's Best ForIf you hike or trail run in unpredictable weather and want a waterproof shoe that doesn't feel stiff or heavy, the Lone Peak 9+ GTX is a strong match.
