Altra  Superior 7 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

For hiking or trail running, don't ignore that these shoes have 'Minimal" cushioning. They mean it! After wearing out a pair of Altra Lone Peak shoes (which I recommend) I bought these because they felt comfortable walking around the store, and they are comfortable for casual sneakers. But the first time I hiked in them on a rocky trail, I ended the day with a foot injury (predislocation syndrome - look it up, you don't want this) and now am a podiatrist's patient. These should be worn only on smooth trails. You can almost poke your finger through the sole!

They are so tight they gave me a swollen toe on my right foot. I bought these hoping they would fit like my previous Altras, but the toe box is smaller, basically standard shoe size, which is disappointing considering that classic Altra wide toe box was the main reason I bought the shoes. Good build quality, but they diverge from what made Altras something to buy. Will be returning.

Despite what the other reviewer said, these fit like normal altras (I have 7 pairs) which is a change from the superior 5’s which I tried in the past. I had to size up to 12 in those while my normal Altra size is 11.5. I bought these superior 7’s in a 12 because of that and will have to return for an 11.5 because they fit so much more like normal Altra fit now.

Maybe my favorite Altra’s. I had to return the original for sizing. I wear an 11.5 in escalante, 11 in lone peak, and a 10.5 in superiors. These are definitely better than the last gen of superiors.

These were my 1st Altra pair, and I am so happy I purchased these shoes. My wife has a pair and swore by them, and I can see why. My feet have not been this comfortable in a brand new shoe. They are virtually broken-in the first time you wear them. I love trail shoes when coaching because they are durable, they keep my feet dry and are extremely comfortable.

Nice wide toe box for comfort and super lightweight - can be worn all day with ease.
