Are Altra Trail Runners Junk?! Should YOU be Buying Them for Hiking and Backpacking?

After 2,500 miles of backpacking, trail running, fast packing and FKT's with 7 pairs of Altra shoes, I'm just not sure I can continue spending money on a brand that falls apart on me...or can I?

This is a follow up review of my Lone Peak 4.5's and Olympus 4.0 shoes. You can find my individual reviews on these shoes here:
