I wear Lone Peaks for pavement walking in NYC and they're the perfect sneaker for that. I got the dark purple ones but they're more eggplant in real life. Still nice, but the photo wasn't quite accurate in terms of color. They're still the more stylish lifestyle option even though they're not technically lifestyle shoes. Overall, great fit and comfort straight out of the box. altrarunning.com

I actually almost returned these shoes because they are unlike anything I’ve ever worn before. I’m usually not a fan of wide and squishy shoes, but these turned out to be amazingly stable, supportive, rugged, and grippy. They performed better than anticipated at my elite-level Spartan Beast in Utah (14 miles, 30 obstacles, 4500 feet of elevation gain). Tereza C. · inov8.com
