MarkPDX's Review of Altra Arrows Lone Peak 2.5 Trail Running Shoe - Mens
This is a great trail shoe or even for light backpacking, with a caveat. Wonderful comfort. Really! Until you get on a wet surface with rocks. Then it becomes and ice skate. Slick. Slides.
There is no carbon formulated into the sole and it does not grip on wet.
There is a new model Olympus with a new sole by Vibram supposedly with better grip and even more comfort at a lighter weight. I have now ordered it, but not tried it yet.
Also, the shoes is designed for uphill and downhill, but not for lateral/traverse hikes off trail. If you have your foot perpendicular to the fall line, there is no support and the shoe will roll. You toes will not like it.
