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.

Great cushion; discomfort around ankle
1 day ago
Found the sizing to be consistent with my other Altras (Superior 5 and Solstice). In general, I wear a 9 or 9.5 depending on the shoe brand, and seem to be a 9.5 in Altras. Cushion is terrific. Sadly, the cut of the ankle area isn't going to work for me, as the shoes rub the lower part of my lateral ankle bones.

Great shoes
1 year ago
These waterproof shoes are awesome. However, they are the wrong size. I'm usually a size 8.5 in altras, but I will have to size down to an 8. Otherwise, they are comfortable shoes.

Loved them, until they started to leak water
4 months ago
Loved Them, until they started leaking water around the toe area after 8 months with minimal use. They are comfortable, seemed durable, but once my feet got wet on a walk, that was it. They have not seen many wet conditions and should last longer than 8 months with minimal hours/miles.
Average Weekly Mileage:0–10 miles
