I have always had [****] trainers but needed something a little more study in the cupboard for the odd trail run & to keep my feet dry. So far they have been great obviously not the cushioning that my road running trainers give me but still supportive & great grip. I’ve had a few runs & all good. 👍🏻 Amy P. · startfitness.co.uk

Was skeptical due to several low star reviews, but just put these to work on the 50 mile W trek in Chile and they worked great. Have been running in lone peaks for years and used heavy boots to trek in the past, but no longer. Supportive, very comfortable, no break in time, no blisters. My partner was wearing her regular lone peaks and did get wet feet, I was dry in rain and creek crossings no pro Dano · altrarunning.com
