Feels fast but will it last?

Tim A 11 months ago Verified Purchase

The toe box seems narrower than previous Altra models I've run in. The drop takes a bit of getting used to but it feels like my push off is easier. Feels like a fast ride. Altras seem to show sole wear sooner than other brands I've used. This model also is also showing wear very soon. I love the feel of the shoe bust wish they were a bit more durable.

Light flexible slightly bouncy & rockin' goodness!

Doodlemush 11 months ago Verified Purchase

The toe box is awesome if you like a roomier fit and the heel is a snug-huggy. The shoe is light and very responsive. Even though it's not as cushy as say Hoka; it's still a pretty cush ride. I really like them and depending on how well the tread wears this will become my alt shoe for jogging; the other being Hoka's Bondi. Both are fabulous shoes and I like the idea of rotating between Hoka's heavier cushier ride and Altra's lighter smoother one. Think Buick LeSabre vs Chevy Caprice (late 70's models of course). Cheers and happy running y'all! : )

Great for wide feet! Super comfortable

James H 11 months ago Verified Purchase

Great for wide feet! I bought these after trying Hoka’s and Brooks and not liking them very much. These are super comfortable and are great to run in and have a lot of support.

Lacks traction

Aaron 1 year ago Verified Purchase

No traction on normal asphalt path that is damp. Slips on every push. Does not seem like they tested before releasing this new shoe. Fine on dry . Can’t coun’t on race day being dry.
