"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."

"I was quite impressed with its comfort and trail capabilities, and truly believed I had found an excellent shoe for my long runs and hikes. ... the New Balance Hierro v9 remains my top choice for comprehensive trail running. Its superior comfort and, crucially, its consistently reliable grip in varied and challenging conditions make it a more dependable partner on the trails I typically encounter. ... I feel more secure in the Hierro, and that confidence is key. In fact I will be using it for my upcoming races and that says it all."
"The Vibram Megagrip outsole on the Hierro v9 is simply outstanding. Its 4.5mm lugs provide excellent, reliable traction across various surfaces, from dry dirt to slick roots and muddy patches. I've always felt incredibly secure, and it consistently inspires confidence in diverse conditions. ... Great Vibram outsole grip, even on mud and wet rocks"
"The Trabuco 12 have been the best trail shoes I’ve ever owned. ... I’m 6”4 and charge hard over serious rocky terrain…and I feel completely safe in them."

"quick-drying shoes ... all the wetness will be wicked away ... When you get to camp, take out the insoles to dry the shoe."
"Breathability…I ran the last 75 miles of Sedona canyons 125 in May in Arizona with them (and gaiters) and with the Balega hidden comfort socks and never thought my feet couldn’t breathe. It never crossed my mind."
"the uppers are so thin and breathable"

"I did a drying test on both pair last year and found both dry quickly IF you remove the insole when it gets wet or keep them dry and remove them before making a water crossing. ... In the field, I walked through creeks and got my feet totally wet (not on purpose) in November with nighttime lows in the upper 20s. Shoes dried by morning and the insoles were still damp, but dried as I hiked."

"I really appreciated the Altra Lone Peak 4, 4.5, and 5 because they shedded the water with every step. ... Coupled with merino wool socks, on a warm day, I could wade across a river and within about 30 minutes have mostly dry feet."

"Additionally they are zero drop shoes which is also better for foot and ankle health and promotes a stronger achilles tendon."
"These shoes started my zero drop adventure."
"I had never done zero drop before these either, but theyre great and I wont go back to shoes with any amount of drop"

"Also, the grip was really crap, particularly when it’s a purpose built trail shoe."
"outsole does not perform well on wet rock ... I agree 100%, and it's a pity because in all other aspects Saucony makes excellent trail shoes. I just hope they will follow the xodus ultra 4 trend and implement vibram on the peregrines 16"

"the change was very noticeable on trail running. ... Calf and Achilles soreness galore."
"Altra brand shoes are 'zero drop', so your calf muscles will need to stretch by a quarter inch or so. Do this WELL before your hike by putting 100 miles or so on them, or you will massively, tearfully regret it."

I've got Altra Lone Peak All-wthr Low 2 which are more waterproof than the plain Lone Peaks and I'm quite happy with them, but I use them for trail running and have only really encountered shallow puddles or soft muddy spots, so not sure how much water you want to be prepared for. These "Low" ones are like running shoes but they also have a "Mid" that goes up to the ankle. Worth checking out Lems as well (www.footworksrunning.co.uk for UK) You might be able to find more info/recommendations on r/BarefootRunning otherwise
Living in Southern California, my hiking shoes are year around hiking shoes. I love my Altra Lone Peaks. I've had Line Peak 6's and 9's and they are both great for trail running and hiking.
I have that pair of Altra, personally I like the water resistance and feel more confident to tackle different terrain in all weather with them. They are warm, relative to a more breathable shoe but it's a trade off I'm willing to accept.
There is an Altra Lone Peak All-weather, which has a waterproof lining. I’ve used the regular Lone Peaks plenty in Scotland and though they get wet easily, they also drain and dry easily. I’ve had several times when I step in a bog but by the end of the hike my feet are dry again. They are incredibly comfortable too, at least for me.

I use altra all weather lone peaks, smartwool socks, gaiters, and exospikes. It works really well for me on trails in Putnam county, NY.
Hi all, looking to replace my trusty Altra All Weather Lone Peak 2’s. Great shoes, can throw them on in any situation and not worry about a thing. They don’t last long though, and I’d like more cushion. The drop and toe box don’t really matter to me. Need something that can walk in a wet or dry city all day, climb stone, and go on dirt and get wet. Hopefully also isn’t terribly ugly. May consider a mid-height shoe but it’s never been on my radar. Feel free to convince me yes or no. Gotta be waterproof (or mostly), don’t convince me otherwise. Here is my top list so far: Vans Crosspath XC Gore Tex - I know nothing about them, but cmon, they’re dope and look to have good tech. Brooks Cascadia 19 GTX - I’ve heard Brooks is good but that’s all I know. On Cloudrock low Waterproof - Again, heard good things but no personal experience. Altra Timp 5 GTX - Thinking they’re like a more padded version of my old Altras. But sometimes I like switching it up so idk. Hoka Transport GTX - I have Hoka Bondi SR as my work shoes and I love the padding and feel of Hokas.
Fellow wide Lone Peak wearer (though in women’s) and I made the mistake of switching to Olympus 275s for my first 100 attempt since I thought more cushion would help me. Olympus and Olympus 275 are known for being roomy, but by mile 30 there was no room for my little toes and by mile 40 my arches were screaming. I DNF’ed at mile 54 and could barely get the shoes off. I’m sticking with the Lone Peaks from now on, no matter the terrain.
Altra makes (made?) the Lone Peak Alpine which has the same fit and tread as the lone peak but a more casual looking upper. I’m on my 2nd pair of them as my everyday shoe but I think they may have been discontinued.
The altra peaks are expensive but they last a couple seasons. Worth the investment I feel
I have had good success with Keen. Their waterproofing has lasted me longer than Columbia or others. That being said, I'm currently trying a pair of Altra Lone Peak 8s in their waterproof version. I use the regular ones in dry conditions and really like them, but the waterproof ones are too new to really know what the durability will be like. The Altras might be out of your price range though. I think I paid $210CAD for mine.
