Lone Peak 8
Lone Peak 8 is a zero-drop shoe for trail running, hiking, and thru-hiking. Building on Lone Peak 7, it uses a lighter ripstop-mesh upper inspired by Lone Peak 6. Optional pull-through ghillie lacing adjusts fit. Altra EGO cushioning, MaxTrac with TrailClaw lugs, and Original FootShape fit retain its natural trail feel, while a full-length 1.5 mm TPU StoneGuard and GaiterTrap protect against rocks and debris.
