The new Altra Lone Peak 4 takes another step in the evolution of this popular trail shoe. It&#;s popular because its shape/fit, materials, support, cushioning, traction, and light weight are on target with what hikers and trail runners want.

What&#;s new with this new edition, and how is it better? And further, are there advantages (or not) of switching to the mid-height waterproof/breathable version versus a traditional low-cut shoe?

I started out testing the new Altra 4 RSM Mid (left), but after discovering a few quirks I decided to compare it with the Altra 4 Low (right). This review is the outcome of one hiker&#;s experience with both versions.

Specifications and Features

Description

RSM stands for Rain, Snow, and Mud. The big change in the Mid is a switch from NeoShell to eVent for the waterproof-breathable membrane. I have always preferred eVent because of its better breathability. Both the Mid and the Low are available with a mesh upper that is not waterproof, and the RSM waterproof-breathable version.

This is my first time testing the mid-height version of the , so I have no experience with the previous NeoShell version to compare it to. However, I have tested the Lone Peak and Low.

The most noticeable change from the Lone Peak is the new upper fabric, which looks like ripstop nylon compared to the woven fabric look of its predecessor. Both have a soft feel. The had a dense overstitching pattern on the toebox to reinforce it, while the has TPU overlays.

The other main upgrades &#; a static loop on the instep to enable better clinching, enlarged and articulated rock plate, and improved traction outsole &#; are less noticeable but significant and functional.

Overall, the improvements justify kicking up the up a notch from to

Field Testing and Performance

I tested the Lone Peak on a total of 33 outings, which included trail hiking, off-trail hiking, trail running, snow and slush hiking, backpacking, scrambling, and mountain biking.

In my testing of the Mid RSM in slush and water, I ended up with damp socks on both feet; the left one more so because of the patched tear. Upon further inspection I noticed that the right shoe also had some small abrasion holes in the fabric on the sides of the toebox. This would indicate that the new fabric is not all that durable, at least for off-trail backpacking.

Weight-wise, in my shoe size, the Lone Peak 4 Low is only a smidgeon heavier than the version ( oz/shoe versus oz/shoe). The MSRP has remained the same ($).

My rationale for testing the Lone Peak Mid 4 RSM was my perception that it would provide better ankle support and be more stable and protective for off-trail backpacking. Also, the waterproof-breathable version would be a good choice for hiking in early- and late-season snow, as well as summer rains.

However, overall, the Mid 4 RSM did not meet my expectations.

Before I get into the details, allow me to mention that your experience may be different; choosing a shoe brand and model is a very personal thing, like choosing what type and brand of underwear you wear. You eventually determine what works for you.

In my case, I have wide feet (EE width), high arches, and a high instep. I&#;m attracted to the wide toebox and snug heelcup of the Altra&#;s, but even with that I need to wear thin socks in them to avoid them being too tight. For hiking, I want an all-synthetic, supportive, cushioned, high traction shoe.

Back to my experience with the Lone Peak Mid 4 RSM. First, the tear in the upper was totally a mishap, and I don&#;t feel that the new fabric is any less durable than previous versions. But it is still vulnerable to abrasion on the sides of the toebox.

My main issue is its funky fit (for me), which resulted in a constant flip-flop sound while hiking in them. I tried tightening them down as much as I could, switching to thicker insoles, and wearing thicker socks, but nothing worked. It was mostly an annoyance and did not result in blisters or anything like that. Finally, I did not notice any improved support or protection from the Mid version.

When I got the Low Mesh version midway in my testing, I immediately noticed that they were a better fit, provided more agility while hiking, and were simply more comfortable. I could also notice the Low version&#;s lighter weight; 3 ounces less per shoe.

After noticing a significant difference in the comfort and performance of the two versions of the Lone Peak 4, I dived into comparing details of the two shoes to try to account for the perceived differences. Notable differences in the Mid are taller shoe height (obviously), the lacing system at the top of the shoe, thicker laces, thicker padding around the ankle, a looser fit around the ankle, and an added exterior thick TPU band around the heel.

So, the devil is in the details, so to speak &#; the Mid is a different animal compared to the Low. It&#;s not just the Low shoe with a little height added; it&#;s a different shoe.

I also dived into trying to figure out what was causing the flip-flopping effect. I thought it might be heel rise due to a looser heel cup, but when I measured the heel cup width of the two shoes the difference was negligible.

I conclude that the flip-flopping of the Mid version is due to the multiple design differences between the two shoes, which overall do not provide an enveloping fit like the Low.

The other upgrades in the new Lone Peak 4 are all good improvements. The static lacing loop over the instep does provide better cinching, which makes this trail running shoe much more stable while hiking across steep sidehills. Also the improved rock plate and traction outsole are distinct improvements.

Here&#;s the Lone Peak 4 Mid RSM and Low side by side, both in size men&#;s

Here&#;s how the Lone Peak Low 4 (green) compares to the Lone Peak (red). Both are the fabric (non-waterproof) version. The new version has a more aggressive outsole, although the old version is pretty worn down.

Assessment

The outcome of my testing was a bit different from what I expected. For me, the funky fit, flip-flopping, and lack of improved support made the Lone Peak 4 Mid RSM a disappointment. When the traditional Low Mesh shoe arrived, my feet told me &#;I like these much better!&#;. Granted, they get wet easily, so they are not suited for hiking in snow and slush, but they are just fine for summer hiking where getting them wet is less of an issue because they dry out quickly.

I will continue to be a fan of the because of their wide toebox, support, and comfort. However, my experience with the Mid version reinforced my preference for a low-cut shoe; I simply prefer the lighter weight, improved agility, good traction, and adequate support they provide. In this case a taller shoe didn&#;t offer any more.

Interesting fact: If you do a PubMed search for scientific journal articles published in the last 20 years containing the word "cannabis" you would get 8, results. Add the word "cannabinoid," and the results increase to 20, articles. Obviously, there is no shortage of information and research out there regarding cannabis and it’s medicinal benefits.

Cannabis has been used to treat conditions such as Cancer, Arthritis, Epilepsy, Anxiety/Depression, Skin Conditions, and the list goes on and on. CBD, or cannabidiol, one of the major cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant is getting a lot of press lately as an anti-inflammatory, anti-spazmotic, anti-tumor, anti-depressant, anti-oxidant, and probably a number of similar “anti’s.” This leads the rational, skeptical, inquisitive person (like myself) to ask: How is this plant capable of doing all of that? It sounds too good to be true, and honestly, a little far-fetched.

The very first stop you need to take on your road to understanding the miracle of medical cannabis is to learn about the Endocannabinoid System. Unless you’ve had your pulse on the medical cannabis field for the past 10 years, you probably have never heard of this, yet it is literally one of the most exciting scientific discoveries of our time.

All mammals share an endocannabinoid system. It is a regulatory system which works throughout the body, managing immune and nervous system function, and general homeostasis. It is made up of cannabinoid receptors, which are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. Cannabinoids promote homeostasis in a number of ways. One example is autophagy, the process which regulates “cell death” is moderated by the endocannabinoid system. This has a powerful impact on the cell’s ability to recognize healthy cells and keep them alive, or to recognize “bad” ones like cancer, and self-destruct. Obviously, the death of cancer cells is going to promote homeostasis in a very good way. When our endocannabinoid system is running optimally, it serves this function beautifully.

Endocannabinoid system can be thought of as a master communicator between different types of cells in the body.

For example, at the site of an injury, cannabinoids can act upon the nerve cells to prevent the over-firing of an inflammatory response. Cannabinoids also have a calming influence upon immune cells. The result of this communication amongst the three various types of cells is a reduction in pain and inflammation.

As a network of receptors found throughout the body in the nervous system, immune system, and various organs, the endocannabinoid system works as a bridge between the mind and the body. As well as promoting cellular homeostasis, the endocannabinoid system functions to balance a person’s relationship with external stimulus (the outside world). It is very clear that the administration of cannabinoids promote positive behaviors such as sharing, openness to new ideas, and creativity. Cannabinoids mediate neurogenesis, neural plasticity, and learning, thereby aiding in a person’s ability to move beyond limiting or stuck belief patterns which were based on past experiences. We are all keenly aware of the importance of maintaining mental health in this fast-paced world we live in today.

In light of the over 20, PubMed articles related to cannabis, we are still at the tip of the iceberg learning about how cannabis works with our bodies, and how the complex endocannabanoid system functions. What we do know is the endocannabinoid receptors are found embedded in cell membranes throughout the body. Researchers have identified two distinct cannabinoid receptors: CB1, located throughout the nervous system, connective tissues, gonads, glands, and organs; and CB2, predominantly found in the immune system and its associated structures. Many tissues contain both CB1 and CB2 receptors, and there is speculated to be a third receptor, which we have not yet discovered.

Our body produces it’s own endocannabinoids (endo=within). The two most famous of these are anandamide (the bliss molecule) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG)

Anandamide, named after the sanskrit word for bliss, is a very important molecule which produces heightened happiness. It’s functions also include memory, appetite regulation, higher thought processes, and movement control. It also plays a role in fertility, pain, and cancer cell proliferation. Anandamide is our body’s natural anti-depressant, and anti-anxiety. It is also, like all neruotransmitters, very fragile, and breaks down fast. Although the process is complex, CBD binds to CB1 receptors and effects the enzymes responsible for the break-down of anandamide. This explains why CBD acts as a mediator of THC (the compound responsible for the “high”), lessening the psychoactive effects.

2-AG is a member of a group of molecules that derive from arachidonic acid or two other carbon essential fatty acids (EFAs) known as EPA and DGLA. These molecules, known as eicosanoids, are all oxidized versions of these carbon (containing 20 carbon atoms per molecule) EFAs, and play a complex and important role in various bodily processes including immunity and inflammation.

Phytocannabinoids (like CBD) influence and stimulate the cannabinoid receptors. Cannabis sativa is the plant with the most phytocannabinoids, but there are also other plants which contain these substances. Black pepper, echinacea, truffles, clove, and many other herbs and spices have been discovered to contain phytocannabinoids. Cannabinoids have antioxidant properties that protect the leaves and flowers from ultraviolet radiation. They neutralize the harmful free radicals generated by the sun’s UV rays, protecting the plant’s cells. Antioxidants found in plants have long been used in supplements to combat the damage of free radicals.

Pharmaceutical companies have isolated cannabinoids and synthesized them. It is my belief, however, that a full-spectrum cannabinoid profile is more beneficial than the isolated synthetic compounds.  Nature is intelligent and the cannabis plant contains an array of phytocannabinoids to work in a beautiful synergistic way with the body. A good amount of scientific study is currently underway to learn more about this.  We are truly living in exciting times when we are still discovering new systems in our bodies and ways to support our personal balance and health.

Yes, you read that title correctly! White Man's Foot is an amazing medicinal plant native to Asia and Europe, and earned its nickname White Man's Foot because it was brought to North America by European Settlers and could be found along the trails of these new settlers.

Plantago major (Plantago lanceolata), is the actual name of this unassuming plant that grows wild just about anywhere that receives (abundant) water. Its basal rosette of thick stemmed, oval, strongly veined leaves and spikes of inconspicuous brown flower heads is often discarded as a weed. This is unfortunate because of this “weed”, like many medicinal herbs we have relegated to the kingdom of unwelcome plants, is another one of Mother Earth’s gifts to us all. It’s accessible and readily available to anyone out and about—no need to trail back inside and shorten your adventure to fetch an ointment because this plant, my friends, is a comprehensive medicinal herb that contains high amounts ofallantoin, an anti-inflammatory phytochemical that speeds wound healing, stimulates the growth of new skin cells, and gives the immune system a lift. It is also an anti-fungal. My mother was the one who taught me about this herb! As an adolescent I spent a lot of time caring for my little brother; we would go on all sorts of little outings and of course, as a typical adventurer, my little brother would end up getting cut or stung. My mother added this to our repertoire of medicinal herbs in our first aid kit, except this one didn’t need to be stored in a kit. She taught us how to identify and harvest the plantain leaf right from the ground. She would pop a cleaned leaf into her mouth and macerate it with her teeth to make a poultice, and then apply it to my brother’s wound. It never failed to stop the bleeding, cleanses the infection and soothe the pain or itch (when stung). I now continue this tradition of herbal healing with my two boys, and even hubby when out and about on an adventure.

Healing with Plantago Major

Today there are many studies exploring the traditional use of Plantago major across the world. It was found that in Europe, Plantago major was used as early as the s to cure dog bites, boils, fever, and flu. It was one of the nine sacred herbs in the Anglo-Saxon medicinal text. In Bosnia, this herb was revered in its herbal healing balm, which was used to cure a wide range of ailments such as urogenital tract disorder, gastrointestinal disorder, various forms of psoriasis and topical wounds, nervous and cardiovascular disorder, and rheumatism. Balms were made with fresh macerated plant, warm resin, honey, olive oil, and cow or pig lard. Native Americans used this herb to cure rattlesnake bites. In Mexico and other parts of the world, including here in the US, Plantago major is becoming more frequently used to cure upper respiratory problems such as coughs, congestion and bronchitis because of its invaluable anti-inflammatory and demulcent properties, which forms a soothing film over a mucous membrane, relieving minor pain and inflammation of the membrane.

When you are out enjoying this beautiful weather look for Plantago major. You can even harvest a few leaves and toss them in your salad. They are great for digestion, they help cleanse your blood and are rich in vitamin A, C, and K! You really don’t need to grow it in your garden since they are abundant in nature, but, I like to have it growing in my garden for an endless supply. It also ensures that I don’t get traces of dog urine or feces.

Different uses:

1. A tea made with 3 cups of water and ¾ tsp of the dry herb is recommended for people with bronchitis or dry cough. A tea can also be used as an eye wash.

2. Plantain tincture can be taken to help respiratory tract infection and digestive problems.

3. Salves and poultices can be made to apply topically onto wounds, bites, infections, blisters, eczema, rashes, acne and thrush (studies conducted in Brazil have shown the usefulness of this herb in fighting candida, the yeast that causes thrush around nipples, mouth, and vagina aka yeast infection)

4. In a salad!

It's all in nature!
