The Lone Peak puts the widest part of the shoe at the widest part of the foot. It is frequently a shoe, not a boot, and it is listed here because many wide-foot hikers should stop forcing a boot. Give zero drop two easy weeks. It is a weaker choice on loose scree if you want a stiff shank.
Who should buy it. Hikers whose pain is a pointed toe box on moderate trail.
Best for. Wide or flat feet on non-technical trail
Standout limitation. Zero drop needs a break-in period
