The Lone Peak 5 became a big facelift and was also modernized in the design a bit, while keeping all the same great elements that have led to its success. It is a moderate stacked trail shoe with aggressive outsole and integrated stone guard. Designed for anyone looking for a durable and protective trail shoe that can conquer any terrain. The biggest story in the update is this shoe is the introduction of the EGO in the midsole. Maintaining at the same stack height of 25mm, we have been able to increase the cushioning while still offering exceptional durability. The updated stone guard is lighter than the previous iteration, while offering the same level of protection/coverage of the foot. This has been done by effectively creating a pressure map of the foot on the stone guard and creating open perforations in the spots where there is very little pressure. This allows for less material to be used while offering enough protection in the necessary areas. Also the utilizing laser cut drainage holes in the upper allow the shoe to shed water easily. With the Fit4Her™ technology used in our female shoes, we customize all shoes to the unique anatomy of the female foot and design them around the key physical characteristics .With our very broad toe box every single toe can relax and spread out naturally. Also the big toe remains in it‘s straight position for a maximum of stability and more power.
