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.

The 7 Is better
1 year ago
These are my 11th pair of altras. I loved the Torin 4, they then made radical changes. I bounced around then landed on the Rivers. But the third edition was different from earlier versions and made the switch to the provision. Loved the 6th and the 7th was better. I couldn't wait to try the 8th when I needed a new pair. I have worn them now for over a month and I am started to have the some of the same issues that I had with the Rivers 3. My toes hurt after a run. I also noted a change to the heel fit. This is the first time I had the issue of my heel lifting out of the shoe. I locked my laces which helped but the feel of the shoe is not the same. I never had this issue in 25 years of running. I went back to the provision 7 and waiting for the 9 to see if it is fixed. If not, I am going back to Asics. It is a shame because I love the zero drop and foot shape shoes. Why do they mess with what works?

Best Altra Ever!

I tried every pair of Altras and the Provisions are by far the best! Please never change this shoe! But do please make better colors. A black upper with a brown gum sole would be amazing! Call me for guidance on shoe colors haha you guys have some of the worst colors in the running shoe market. Everyone I know hates 90% of the colors you guys make.
Yes , I recommend this product

I wear more for walking than running. I need the wide toe box and these are the best fit I can find. Only complaint I have is the color they call "White/Blue" is not accurate. The liner is blue but the exterior has a definite green gray color, not blue to my eye.

I like that the shoes are narrow through the center. Really supports the arch of my feet. I'm a nurse and standing or walking all day and once these are settled to your feet, they're awesome!

Finally, you guys got it right. Aside from more colors, don't change a thing. I suggest adding a yellow pair. Also, I use these everyday in the warehouse I work at and my feet feel great.

I returned the shoes on 12/8 and still did not get a refund. The shoes are absolutely massive and do not fit true to the size. That was the second pair I bought and had to return.

Wore out in 4 months with limited running

This is my 3rd pair of provisions. The tread on the 8's seems to have worn out quick, less than 100 miles on them. Fit and comfort is amazing, but need better tread.

Perfect shoe

The Provisions have nailed it the last few rounds. 7 and 8 are perfect, don't change a thing. Although, maybe some non-white base options and more vibrant colors?

Sizing off on these shoes
1 year ago
Been an Altra wearer for a decade but this is the second time I've had shoes that were off their usual sizing by about a half a size. Disappointing.
