Fit & Sizing Advice
The Altra Lone Peak 9 fits true to size for most runners. It utilizes Altra's Original FootShape™ Fit, which is their widest and highest-volume fit profile. If you prefer a locked-in midfoot with maximum room for your toes to splay and swell over long distances, stick with your standard running shoe size.
