OUR BRAND
Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE
Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION
Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

Love
I love these shoes. They are alittle snug around the toe area, so can’t wear for extended period. I bought them because I work in the medical field, I love them but can only wear them if going out for a short time. I plan on ordering another pair but will go up 1/2 size.

Avoid!!!!! Painful and odd fitting.
I’ve owned Altras for years and am very loyal to the brand. The Superior 6 is not a good shoe. Very painful pressure points on both the top of the balls of my feet. They cannot be loosened so I’ve been trying to “break them in” to the derogation of my poor feet. The tongue is only attached to one side. It does not cover the entirety of the foot so there’s pain there too. I’ve even tried without socks. Nothing helps. Very expensive pair of goodwill shoes.
Not the pants I received, they look nothing like the picture, TOTAL RIP OFF. Over priced fringe pants and you do not get what you see in the picture. –
Expensive sneaker
This item was very expensive, ran small and still hurt my feet 👣 it gave me pain and know support, it was supposed to be wide in width? But it was tight on my feet and I ordered a size up, know arch support, know heel support, none of which it claimed to help with my feet pain. Not worth the money

Well made and comfortable
These shoes are very well made and have stood up to rugged use for the last 2 months. They have a supportive heel cup and mid-foot with a good wide toe box for stability. They are not only comfortable, they look good too!

Sizing/seaming is different
My mom loves this brand of shoes and has several in a similar style. I had to return the original pair, because the sizing was so different. She went up a whole size from her others to fit comfortably. She also said there is a seam in these in a different place, which makes them fit tighter, so she has to work the laces looser and wear thin socks. Otherwise she really likes them, but doesn’t love them as much as the other style. The colors are great and look as advertised.

Great shoes
I love these shoes! I spend 3 days at Disney and these never hurt my feet. Would recommend

At least the color is nice….but way too narrow
I have been an advocate for Altras, especially the olympus 5 and lone peak all weather hiker. But these are way too narrow and extremely tight. The toe box is tight. The arch and midsole are tight. They do not feel like zero drop shoes. Within 5 mins my feet are numb. I fell in love with altras due to their unique width. I am a very small person with apparently very feet. (5’5″, 109lb, shoes size 5-6.5) I never thought I’d find a pair of shoes that were actually comfortable until I discovered the Altras, but the last two I’ve order are herendously narrow. I wore my Lone Peak hikers and Olympus shoes for weeks in Iceland and Ireland, walking and hiking 16 hours a day and my feet never hurt, I didn’t even need my orthotics. Ibqear my Olympus 5s as a nurse all day. But these, I couldn’t get them off my feet fast enough. 😔

Natural feeling, wide toebox
On my 3rd pair. They run small i get a ½ size bigger but I love the wide toe and more natural shape and feel. They are not a minimalist shoe, but a great inbetween. They have great support, light weight, and wear at at an appropriate rate.

Perfect

Toller Laufschuh.Passt in der normalen Größe,wie angegossen.Stabilisiert gut den Mittelfuß und die Zehen haben den Platz den sie brauchen.Der Fuß kann perfekt arbeiten.Die Sohle ist prima im Gelände.Nicht zu dick und nicht zu dünn um auch auf steinigem Untergrund richtig laufen zu können.Zudem sieht er noch richtig ansprechend aus.Kann den Schuh sehr empfehlen.

I’m really quite disappointed with the size discrepancy with these. I have 5 other Altra trainers which I love, all size 6. So I bought these in size 6 but they were horribly uncomfortably tight so I returned them, for which I have to pay the shipping because they come from Spain?! Actually I sent them 5 days ago, but still no notification on this refund. But anyway, I then ordered a half size larger for a higher price and now that they’ve arrived, they are also SO tight. And the sole feels strange, like there are weird mounds pressing into unusual parts of the sole of my foot (like the outer edge of my foot near the heel) rather than being even pressure distribution. I don’t want to pay to return a second time, but I’m honestly not sure I can bear to wear these. I have previously loved my Altra trainers, apart from the very fast wearing down of the soles. They do not endure for long before the bottoms look stripped bare.
