Ric kicking it at the shop.
Ric Sieben has been the associate general manager at Routes since 2021. Shortly after starting at Routes, he tried on one of the trail running and hiking shoes we sell, the Altra Lone Peaks. He liked how light and comfortable they were - especially with the wider toe box. It felt more natural to have his toes spread out - so he bought a pair.
A couple weeks later, he noticed the zero balanced cushioning (the heal and toe are at the same level) helped with his nagging plantar fasciitis. When he woke up, he no longer felt pain in his heel.

Two years later, Ric owns at least a half dozen pairs of Altras of varying models. Everyday at work, as he brilliantly and patiently works on bikes, he’s sporting a different pair.
This Fall (2022), Ric went leaf peeping with his wife to Massachusetts and upstate New York and rocked his Lone Peak Hikers for 30 plus miles on the trail!
