If you are someone who loves going barefoot and splaying your toes, when it comes to hitting the trails, Altra provides great shoe options. The Olympus with its zero drop and wide to box provide a great shape for normal to wide feet. A second hole for tying you laces allow room to tie a heel lock loop with your laces should you want to feel more snug in the heel pocket. The extra cushioning in the Olympus makes them ideal for longer hikes and technical trail running. The grippy Vibram soles and wide base provides stability and the incorporation of Vibram means that these Altra models go further and last longer than previous iterations.

Fit tip:

normal-wide, boxy top box

The Altra Lone Peak 9+ is a great lightweight high mileage trail shoe. The wide toe box and minimal, zero-drop sole cater for long days and allow for a more natural movement during hiking, opting for a more "barefoot" shoe design. This wide, zero-drop construction takes some time to get used to, and will not be suited towards those with narrow feet.
The minimal sole provides an ample amount of comfort while allowing proper underfoot feel and awareness of terrain. This 9+ model features a Vibram "Megagrip" outsole, increasing the lifespan of the shoe and providing a higher level of grip.

This shoe's fit will reduce the amount of control when used on fast-paced, technical terrain, but will thrive on slower, more defined trails.

I personally used this shoe while Thru-Hiking on both the Pacific Crest Trail and Oregon Coast Trail, lasting me longer than other trail runners that I had used, and catering well towards my wider foot shape. the quick-drying upper makes this good for frequently wet terrain, and light-weight movement. This shoe is a great option for Thru-Hikers and people looking for a wide, barefoot fit.

Fit tip:

Wide on forefoot, hugs bridge and heel for proper fit.

After years of wearing the Lone Peaks, these trail runners have become my gold standard for functional, multipurpose footwear. The lightweight construction makes them perfect for trail running and day hikes with the durability to standup to multiday backpacking trips and mountain environments. The Vibram sole easily grips any surface providing confidence on technical terrain and the zero drop footbed facilitates a more natural gait with lighter heel strikes on hard surfaces. The wide toe box provides ample room for toes to spread out during activities. The mesh upper surface helps them to dry quickly after river crossings without allowing too much dust into the shoe while maintaining the durability to hold up to repeated rock snags. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking to move fast and light over any terrain for hours or days on end.
