    Lone Peak 5 available in a few weeks.

    Lone Peak 5 available in a few weeks.

    I've worn 3.5 mid's on the Frances, 4.0's on the Via Francegina and Del Norte without any issues. I'm 6'0 225lbs with a size 14. I have the 4.5's now for local walking and think they are the best yet. (They are still on sale for $84.00 at Altra) The only thing I do not like is the traction...
