Altra

Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Ripstop Mesh is a durable fabric used in the upper part of running shoes. It features a special weaving technique that incorporates stronger threads to prevent tearing. This means your shoes will last longer, even during intense runs, while still allowing for breathability to keep your feet cool and comfortable.

Altra EGO is a unique midsole foam that strikes a perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness. It absorbs impact when you step down and provides energy return to help propel you forward. This makes it ideal for long-distance running, as it keeps your feet comfortable and helps you maintain your pace.

MaxTrac is a specialized outsole material designed for optimal traction on various surfaces, especially trails. Its sticky rubber compound and multidirectional lugs ensure excellent grip and stability, allowing you to navigate uneven terrain confidently and safely.

A Neutral Support Type shoe is designed for runners with a neutral gait, meaning their feet do not excessively roll inward or outward. These shoes offer balanced cushioning and support, making them perfect for runners who do not need additional corrective features, allowing for a more natural running motion.

A 0mm drop means that the heel and forefoot of the shoe are at the same height, promoting a more natural running style. This design encourages a midfoot strike, which can help reduce the risk of injury and improve running efficiency by allowing for a smoother transition with each step.

The combination of Ripstop Mesh for durability, Altra EGO foam for cushioning and responsiveness, MaxTrac for traction, Neutral Support Type for balanced support, and a 0mm drop for natural movement creates a shoe that enhances your overall running experience. Together, they help you run longer, more comfortably, and with greater stability, making them an excellent choice for both casual and serious runners.
