Get Comfortable: Signature Altra Balanced Cushioning and FootShape toe boxes allow your toes to spread and encourages proper, low-impact form throughout your run. Stay Healthy: This product received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, awarded to products found by the Association to promote good foot health. Push Yourself: Balanced Cushioning places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your run. From the trail to the taproom, the Lone Peak Hiker 3 is ready for legendary adventures. It’s lightweight and grippy, with ankle support and that classic Altra feel. We updated the tooling in the upper with a polyester mesh vamp for a softer feel. A new air-mesh heel collar is designed for a more secure fit and breathability. We also added a rubberized toe cap, built for protection. The outsole is even grippier and the midsole foam is lighter in weight and was re-designed for more comfort and connection to the ground. We kept that legendary feel, with zero drop and our roomiest toe box, including plenty of room to help your toes move more freely, and space through the midfoot. Dirt, gravel, parking lot? Wherever your next excursion takes you, you’ll want to take the Lone Peak Hiker 3.
