Altra Lone Peak 3.0

Anyone experience with the Altra Lone Peak 3.0 running shoes or mid ?

Re: Altra Lone Peak 3.0

I will be wearing Altra Lone Peak 3.0 shoes this year. I have gone for the non-waterproof option having worn similar Inov8 Roclites or Terrocs on recent crossings. They do have a Neoshell version in a shoe and mid, though how long they would stay dry I wouldn't like to say. I find that non-membrane shoes do dry out, whereas ones with a membrane stay wet a long time one saturated!

Re: A question... waterproof or non waterproof trail shoes or boots

Altberg for me - our sponsors boots for Sue.
Never tried anything but leather boots.Don't even change for evening.
Admit not changing for river crossings sounds attractive but fear that wet feet invite blisters which I'm not brave enough to walk with for 13 days.
Enthusiasts claim "they dry out really quickly" - yeah - only if it stops raining!
