Lone Peak 9 Trail Running Shoes

Built for real trails, not just trailhead photos. Lone Peak 9 Trail Running Shoes pair a naturally balanced, zero-drop ride with a roomy, foot-shaped forefoot and a grippy lug pattern that bites into mixed terrain. A resilient midsole cushions daily miles while a protective underfoot layer lets you roll over rocks and roots with confidence.

Why trail runners love Lone Peak 9

• Zero-drop platform: promotes a natural stance and smooth, low-profile stability on uneven ground.
• Foot-friendly toe box: generous forefoot room for toe splay on long efforts and steep descents.
• Responsive EGO™ cushioning: soft landings with lively rebound for easy runs, tempo dirt, and all-day hikes.
• MaxTrac™ lug outsole: multi-direction traction that grips wet rock, hardpack, and forest duff.
• Rock-plate protection: a flexible barrier helps diffuse sharp impacts without killing ground feel.
• Breathable ripstop mesh: durable, welded overlays cut weight and reduce hot-spot seams.
• Gaiter-ready: rear attachment points make it easy to add debris protection on dusty or sandy routes.

Fit & sizing

True to size for most runners. Expect a secure midfoot/heel with a spacious forefoot. Between sizes or running thick socks? Consider a half-size up. Wide options may be available depending on colorway.

• Support: neutral (not a stability/motion-control shoe)
• Stack/geometry: low, cushioned platform designed for confident footing on technical trails
• Insole: cushioned and removable on most colorways*

Ride & terrain

• Everyday trail miles: from mellow singletrack to rocky ridgelines.
• Long-day comfort: balanced cushioning that stays lively over back-to-back efforts.
• Mixed conditions: lug pattern sheds light mud and grips slabs; use care in deep clay.

Materials & construction

• Upper: recycled/ripstop engineered mesh with no-sew reinforcements (varies by run/color).
• Midsole: Altra EGO™ foam tuned for cushioning + rebound.
• Outsole: MaxTrac™ rubber with multi-direction lugs for trail grip.
• Protection: flexible rock plate underfoot; toe bumper for scuffs.

Care

• After runs, remove insoles and let shoes air-dry; avoid heat sources that can deform foam and rubber.
• Brush off dirt; spot clean with mild soap and water. Do not machine dry.
• Rotate pairs during peak training to extend midsole life.
