Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Altra Lone Peak 9+ zero drop? Yes. The Lone Peak 9+ has a 0mm heel-to-toe drop and 25mm of cushion, so your heel and forefoot sit level like they would barefoot. If you're coming from a traditional 8 to 12mm drop shoe, ease in with shorter runs and hikes for the first few weeks.
What's the difference between the Lone Peak 9 and Lone Peak 9+? The outsole. The 9+ uses Vibram® Megagrip rubber while the standard 9 uses Altra's MaxTrac™. Upper, midsole, stack height and fit are the same. If your runs include wet rock, roots, or muddy Midwest singletrack, the Megagrip is worth it.
Is the Lone Peak 9+ good for hiking? Yes. It's one of the most popular trail runners for day hiking and thru-hiking because of its roomy toe box, light weight and no break-in feel. If you want ankle coverage, look at the Lone Peak Hiker 3 or the Lone Peak 9 WP Mid.
