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.

Cusioned in forefoot yet nimble as not his stack but just enough cushion, can go fast, slow, and unlike many shoes today, can grip not just on wet pavement nad gavel, but slippery leaves on sidewalks, twigs, debris, etc., so good for a run in the city in most weather. Many other shoes require you to tip-toe through falls leaves nad rain lest you slide. These are quasi-trail so are reliable, and can turn well. Roomy and pleasant, jack of all trades for your average 10K run around. Handles hills well, and downhill.
These fit well, just what I am looking for. Responsive and lightweight. However, why do trail shoes come in such a light color?
Very comfy shoes. I am traveling with them through SE asia and love them, light weight and super comfy
