The Lone Peak 3.5 are doing great. Use them everyday twice a day while I workout. I run, sprint, do calisthenics, walk, jump, and hike. The shoes fit great and feel very comfortable throughout the use. The shoes have an amazing grip on the grass, concrete sidewalks, asphalt roads, and sandy Georgia soil. Have not worn gaiters with the shoes so no details on the Velcro fastener or buckle on the laces. I am wearing cotton socks and they are not tearing or balling up under my feet do to sweat or because of the insole. The wide box for gives toes space for airflow and expansion. The feet stay seated firmly to the rear of the shoe. I recommend these shoes to everyone.

Great platform for medium to long runs, but upper needs improvement.
I've been running on these for a few months now and overall I've got mixed feelings on these Altra Lone peak 3.5's. For me, these are great for long days on my feet on technical tracks or hard surfaces. The running I typically do is a real mix. Some gravel 4wd tracks and easy farm tracks but mostly very technical steep back country/bush single tracks. The technical tracks are a mix of deep mud, rivers, tree roots, rocks and exposed volcanic mountain sides. See photos. Runs are between 1 and 5 hours. I'm 75kg, 180cm tall and have medium wide forefoot with high arch. I've been running in 0 - 4mm drop shoes for about 5 years. The good: - Very good traction on a wide variety of surfaces (best I've tried since Inov8 Trailroc 235's). - Stable platform (if laces tightened well) - Outsole has very little wear after a few hundred km. - Very comfortable platform - leaves my legs and feet feeling good after long runs - Like the gaiter connections - Generally comfortable straight out of the box. - Appear to have robust upper. The bad: - Fitting and sizing. I went 1/2 a size up and find the size comfortable for width, but I still find my toes smash into the front on downhills. I have really tied the laces up hard to to combat this, but it affects the comfort. I believe this is because of the very (overly) padded rear heal cup. - Breathability/water drainage. The lone peak 3.5 is just OK for breathability and water drainage. They get quite warm on hot days, and though it's not a big problem on most runs, I find they hold too much water for runs where I spend a lot of time crossing rivers and in mud. The shoes with the uppers I love are the Inov8 Trailroc 235's. - Feel a little heavy. This is more a feeling than reality probably. It hasn't really affected my pace, but it just feels like a shoe for comfort on long days. Overall they're good, but not great. If the upper was more breathable and secure I would probably give these a five star rating as I love the comfort and traction. Hopeful for version 4.
