The unique G-grip lugs, which are a mix of ultra-tough graphene material and rubber, are soft enough to grip tightly on rock, yet hard enough that they won’t wear down as quickly as other ultra-grippy traction compounds. PROS: Durable, lightweight, cushy soles, excellent traction, secure fit, breathableīOTTOM LINE: The Inov-8 Terraultra G270 trail running shoes are built tough for ultramarathoners and long-distance runners who will really put them through their paces. MEASURED WEIGHT PER PAIR (SIZE 12.5): 1 lb. Overall, the Superiors are great for those wanting a super comfy lightweight shoe with a minimalist feel. For this reason, we mostly use these shoes for runs on well worn trails without too many obstacles. The horizontal lugs on the sole are perfect for biting into trails with a lot of incline, but they tend to slip a bit on wet rock and concrete. The included removable rock plates (they add about 2 oz.) offer the option of extra protection underfoot, or they can be used to make the soles feel a bit more firm. PROS: Ultralight, affordable, comes with removable rock plate (increased protection and durability in sole), roomy toe box, flexible, secure fit, built-in gaiter attachmentĬONS: Traction isn’t great in wet conditions, not as supportive as some others, not as durable as some othersīOTTOM LINE: The ultralight Altra Superior 5s are some of the most comfortable running shoes we’ve ever worn thanks to the sock-like knit upper and the roomy toe box. We're loving the newest iteration of the Lone Peaks, and recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable lightweight running shoe with a natural feel. The uppers are reinforced and well ventilated, so they feel more durable than previous Lone Peak models and should last for quite a few more miles. This makes the shoe look and feel a little more sleek while maintaining the signature foot-shaped toe box that allows your toes to spread naturally. The biggest and most noticeable change is the more narrow profile (wide sizes are available). PROS: Roomy toe box, excellent traction, lightweight, comfortable, built-in gaiter attachment, breathable, rock plate (increased protection and durability in sole)īOTTOM LINE: Altra's Lone Peak 5s are the first major diversion from their typical design in a while.
