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.

Comfy shoe

I ordered these shoes after trying to find a replacement for my favorite solomans that were falling apart. They have a wider toe box and fit true to size. I wear 13s and have wide feet and these are by far the most comfortable shoes right out of the box that i've worn while hiking. I don't have a ton of miles on these but so far I love them. I think I'm done with solomans. Try these if you have wide feet.

Waterproof, good grip; minor fit issues.
8 months ago
I was looking for a fully waterproof alternative to the Lone Peaks, and these seemed to be the closest match. Pros: Waterproofing – I walked through wet grass, and my feet stayed completely dry. Durable Rubber – The rubber feels more robust than on the Lone Peaks, which should hopefully mean better long-term wear. Excellent Grip – The traction is impressive, offering solid footing. Cons: Pressure Points – There are two hotspots on the top of the foot where the stitching below the second eyelets sits over a gusset made from stiff fabric. This combination creates pressure points when the laces are tightened. It’s manageable if I keep the laces somewhat loose, but that’s not ideal. Toe Spring – Like many running shoes, these have a pronounced toe spring, which may aid in running. However, I was looking for a more natural, flatter shape. Too much cushion - just a matter of preference, but I prefer a bit less material under the foot

Design flaw
2 weeks ago
I have worn Altras almost religiously for 8 years. Have done 3 thru hikes with them. Decided to give the waterproof ones a try. While I initially liked them for snow and cold hiking, the heel foam wore through incredibly quickly and caused rubbing that turned to cuts. Maybe put 100 miles in them before this happened. Have heard from an REI staff member that Altra shoes only last now about 200ish miles when a few years ago I could get 600 out of them relatively easy. Don’t know if it’s just this specific shoe or a trend, but hopefully this was just an opinion rather than a fact.
