Women's Lone Peak 9

The new outsole grip is no joke—I scrambled up a rocky ridge last weekend and never once felt my foot slip. The upper also feels sturdier than my last pair, and the lighter midsole keeps my legs fresher on long days.

Wore these straight out of the box on a rocky 8-mile loop and didn't get a single hot spot. The reworked upper feels noticeably tougher than my old pair, and the lighter midsole keeps my legs fresh on long days.

The new outsole grips way better on loose gravel than my old pair ever did. I was worried the lighter foam would feel flimsy, but it still cushioned my knees on a rocky 10-miler. These have become my go-to for technical trails.
