Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Provided excellent quality and comfort for the price I paid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I have plantar fasciitis so shoes are very important to me. Comfort and arch especially in walking and running shoes. This is the first time buying this brand,I will say I will definitely be buying this brand again. They have many different styles and colors to choose from. You will not go wrong with this running shoe.

Longevity Issues, terrible grip on muddy surfaces.
1 year ago
I love the concept of Altra shoes, but just like my Rivera 2, the Outroad 2 has longevity issues. It's like whoever designed them just said: "This will do," halfway through the production process. Rivera 2 lasted 100 miles at best until the outsole rubber got worn out, and the top started to rip where the big toe goes. The Outroad 2 lasted 80-90 miles. The outsole still has plenty of rubber left (90%), but the top is ripped where the big toes are again on both shoes (Left all the way, right just the lining). I also own three Topo Athletic pairs and have never had these issues with Topo; my big toe did rip the lining inside the shoes but never went through the outer layer, leaving the shoes usable. While Altra claims these are road-to-trail shoes, these are more trail shoes. I bought these because there are many gravel trails where I live, and asphalt trails get muddy after the rain. These sounded perfect since I always run on mixed surfaces. But, on the road, while the impact dampening is good, they still feel a bit too firm. The outsole does not grip well on wet and muddy hard surfaces such as asphalt covered with mud or leaves. Also, Altra's laces need to be longer. Outroad 2 has an excellent grippy material that is also reflective on their laces, but it makes tying shoes a pain since they are too short, mainly if someone uses shoes for running and wants to use a hill lock.

Great traction, fit, and comfort, love these shoes
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love these shoes. They're a good mix between a hardcore trail running shoe and my road shoes. In addition to these outroads I also have the Altra Lone Peak 6 and the outroads have a slightly narrower toe box (sill much wider than other brands) and these also feel about 1/2 size smaller than the Lone Peak (I wear a 10.5 lone peak and 11 in the Outroad and 11 in all other brands). The traction lugs on the Outroad are toned down slightly vs the lone peak but still more aggressive than road shoes. Where I run, I do about 2 miles on the road before getting to the dirt trailhead and don't mind running along the road. Under foot these feel great, there's a decent amount of padding it's not a minimalist shoe where you feel any uneven terrain, but there's enough feedback that you can feel roots, rocks, etc to know how your foot placement is when on the trail. I love the wider toe box and feel like my feet are not as compressed as they are in other shoes. With time I may just use these as my road shoes too.

Comfortable Shoe!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a small ankle injury before getting to try these out. But once I did they are sturdy and held up with no issues with my ankle when running or hiking. They are very comfortable and fit true to size. They took some time getting used to as my other trail running shoes are very flat. These have more of a curve. But this is actually a good thing for these shoes. I think my old shoes may be the reason my ankle was hurting. No complaints about this shoe. The color isn't my favorite but for the sake of wearing them for running, no issues.

Comfortable road racing shoe
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Altra Outroad 2 running shoes. I was very impressed with the style of this shoe. It was really eye catching and had very stylish color choices. The shoe compared nicely to my high end Nike running shoes. The Altra Outroad 2 had solid support on the instep and provided balance and stability on races up to 10 miles. I was impressed by the design that fit to my foot and limited the blisters I normally experienced on this length run. The shoe could have provided more arch support. I was overall very happy with this product

Not built to last
1 year ago
I normally love Altra shoes but after about 7 months of light use they started to tear on the side of the shoe. I submitted the shoes for a warranty claim and it was determined to be normal wear and tear. You can't make a shoe that can last a whole year without starting to fall apart? Add Altra to a growing list of companies where higher costs don't correlate to a quality product.
No, I do not recommend this product

Comfortable airy running shoes
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fit great right out of the box. Walking and running in the was comfortable. They have a nice spring to them with every step. The colors are good, not super vibrant which is my preference. The one downside I saw with these are that the front shape is very odd. Maybe it's a preference thing, but I found the front of them to be unnecessarily large and "club" like.

Amazing running shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised how comfortable the shoes are. They fit snug which you want for running shoes and they have a nice spring feel while walking and running. They look good and are of good quality. Consider to buy more in the future. I would recommend to family and friends.

Quickly Became My Favorite Shoe
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a bit skeptical of the shoe at first since it felt a little more snug than expected and I usually wear shoes with a little more drop. Within minutes of wearing these they disappeared on my feet and felt great. They feel equally at home on and off the road. The amount of cushion on my Hokas sometimes feels more fatiguing than a more minimal shoe, but I didn't have that problem with these. I don't believe that has a plate, so I could see it being an issue on very rocky trails, but there is a good amount of stiffness still. Great all-round running shoe.

Color not as expected!!
1 year ago
This shoe is very comfortable and feels like it has good support, however the color depicted on REI's page is nothing like the actual color of the product. I get that the color says Blue/Orange, but its very misleading. Unfortunately I will be returning these due to the color
