Altra Superior 5 Trail Runner

Even on longer or more intense hikes, I prefer a pretty lightweight shoe. These trail runners from Altra have been great because they are super lightweight while still providing excellent traction.

I’m really loving shoes that let my toes naturally splay, and these fit the bill. If you are used to the classic bulky and heavy hiking boots, you may find that the extra spring in your step a shoe like this provides is a welcome reprieve.
