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.

Flat tires
lerachele9 months ago
The soles feel dead, very little return energy. I wore the previous version, fwd experience, and drove them into the ground. Was hoping for the next best thing with these and was disappointed. Also, heel cup has less volume than elast version so they slide more even with the padding.

Seemingly designed to cause overpronation
WideToeWhiner7 months ago
When I first put these on, I thought, "Yes! Finally a decent looking running shoe with space for my wide-splaying toes!" But then I stood up. What the --?! They felt like walking in unsupportive sand. They actually caused my feet to overpronate. And you can see in the design why this would happen (see photos). The shoe obviously leans inward, and the sole doesn't have the denser material on the outer part of the heel, only on the inner. I guess a lot of people like this model, but they aren't for me.
This isn't the first time this has happened to me with Altra. They drive me crazy. Why can't they just stick with the wide toe box thing like all us duckfooted people want, and not get so gimmicky with all the other stuff? I have some zero-drop and low-drop shoes that are ok, but frankly I prefer more cushioning. I just want a comfortable, stable shoe with enough space for my toes. This is not rocket science.

Perfect for wider feet!
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had a knee replacement, and I am beginning to get back into fast paced walking and slow jogging. I've had a lot of trouble trying to find different types of sneakers that didn't have so much impact on my surgical knee that were wide enough to fit my feet. I tried these and theyre amazing. I had no foot, leg or knee pain. I have double wide feet and the fit was perfect. They were not snug or too loose. This is the perfect sneaker!

Feels Like I'm Walking on Air
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes fit very comfortably. They contour to my feet in an attractive way. Other shoes make me feel heavy. These shoes feel like I'm walking on air. I have less back pain wearing these shoes while walking. They're very lightweight. They're breathable with the mesh fabric. I love the cool design and interesting colors. I think I can say these are the most comfortable shoes I've owned. I walked to a couple parks in my town and I love the support they give. I would definitely recommend to my family, friends and anyone else considering buying them. I have bunions and my feet felt safe in these shoes. I would definitely buy these shoes.

Spacious toe box and excellent traction
1 year ago
Altra is famous for its roomy toe box, and this model is no exception. The front of the shoe provides excellent space for comfort on long runs at the end of the day, while still maintaining a safe and secure fit. Over the past couple of weeks, I have used these shoes on all of my typical running surfaces - treadmill, sidewalk, paved trail, gravel trail, mulched trail, and dirt/mud trails. They excel on the paved surfaces but also performed surprisingly well on the mixed terrain despite not having a deep lug system. The sole shows minimal wear, encouraging for many miles to come. The cushioning on the shoe is very nice. It strikes a good balance of plush and responsive, with a nice forward-feeling rebound.

Great but snug!
1 year ago
These shoes are awesome! Fabulous support and weightless I love them for a jog on concrete or grass. I will say they run a little snug so if you're unsure about sizing I'd size one up. Definitely recommend to teachers who are on their feet all day and just people who need the extra cushion. :)

Altra is one of my new favorite brands!
1 year ago
The Altra Experience Form is a versatile and modern running shoe that really delivers what it says it's going to when it comes to comfort, performance, and foot health. The shape of this shoe offers a natural feel with a roomy toe box, while midsole technology enhances flexibility and responsiveness. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and this show helped to support my flare-ups that happen from time to time. The shoe is lightweight and molds perfectly to your feet from the second you put the shoe on. Overall, the Altra Experience Form is well-suited for various running activities, from daily walks to training at the gym, making it a solid option for anyone looking to improve their natural walking/running style.

Comfortable, supportive, lightweight running shoes
1 year ago
Altra's are known for their roomy toe boxes, lightweight and supportive build, and low drop / rocker design, and these shoes are no different!! If you're coming from other shoe brands that don't have the low drop, there's a bit of a muscle learning curve, so to speak; but after a few wears, it does feel like these shoes are better for your feet in terms of providing flexibility, movement, and support. Having run with them on multiple surfaces, and having worn them during the day (e.g., errands, working at the office, etc.), I'm also impressed with the versatility of these shoes -- in function, comfort, and style! My favorite aspect of these shoes is definitely the weightless feel though, they're so beautifully designed and yet still incredibly supportive and comfortable.

Incredible running shoes!!
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are SO comfortable!! These awesome Women's Experience Flow running shoe are my new best friend. The wide toe box allows my toes to spread the way they need to. These shoes are really lightweight, and I love the rocker in the heel. These shoes help my feet hold the proper position and allow easy movement. They have great tred, and come in cute colors!

Great Shoe!!
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these complimentary Altra Running shoes! I really love the color and style of these shoes. However I would size up next time as I am normally a 9 and the fit is just a little snug! so I should’ve gotten a 9.5 but I went for a walk then a run shortly after receiving them and the support is good especially for running!

Superior ankle/arch support, lightweight
1 year ago
10/10 road running shoe! Great ankle/arch support, very lightweight but nicely cushioned. I ordered a size 8 and my normal size is 7.5 - I usually size up in sneakers 1/2 a size as I don't like extra room in toe box. They felt great on grass, gravel, pavement and cement on various hot and rainy days.
