Zero drop is amazing! - Altra Arrows Lone Peak 2.5 Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Love these shoes. I have the La Sportiva Wildcats, the Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 3's and these Lone Peak 2.5's from Altra. Trying to find the best shoes for the longer backpacking trips I'm planning. I love the zero drop and the large toe box on the Altras. And I usually wear Dirty Girl gators so the gator "trap" permanent Velcro on these was a really convenient and nice touch. I've been wearing all three pairs of shoes alternately and find them all very comfortable with almost nothing to complain about. I like the rigidity of the La Sportivas. But I much prefer the zero drop of the Altras. I took the Nike Wildhorse 3's on the Rae Lakes Loop and didn't even notice my feet the whole time. They were exceptionally comfortable even when wet after a few stream crossings. I'm
Looking forward to more "testing" of the Altras. They are next up for a high Sierra trip.
