Lowa AL-T Orix Trail Shoes (For Women)

runs small and narrow

Just got back from a 14er trip (3 sumits in one day) wearing these shoes. They were great! They did not rub at all and provided excellent support on loose rocks. I could not be happier. With that said, they are hiking shoes and are a bit heavy so don't get if you plan to use them for trail running. The only comment that I would make is in regard to the insoles. They did slip a bit on occassion when doing the steep descent. It would probably be best to put your own fitted insoles in, as opposed to using the ones that come with this shoe. Such a small issue with an overall great hiking shoe.

These shoes are great! I love everything about them. I read that quite a few people think they are too heavy... Then get trail running shoes. These shoes are definitely more for hiking, which usually does not entail running. The only issue I have is that my pinky toes have rubbed against the shoe while going downhill, which has created blisters a few times. However, I believe this problem is specific to myself and anyone else with weird little pinky toes that are wide and quite short compared to the other ones :)

This shoe has been good for my daily hikes. I live in a mountain town and the trails are some what rocky. I have not used them for any long hikes yet. I think they will be good for any terrain.

these were very bulky and uncomfortable. the ankle support, which may work for some folks depending on dimensions, rubbed the back of my heel and i feared it would blister. this on top of them being rather large and heavy. not for me.
