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.

Yay! Finally found a new trail shoe!
3 months ago
I'm not sure, but these feel much more like the Superiors of old! {This review is for the Superior 7s.} The fit is good - though for some reason even though I'm typically an 8.5 in Altras, I seem to need a size 9 for the trail models. The traction/tread is great. Flexibility is about where I want it - not 100% barefoot feel but not too stiff either. Anyway, the only thing I changed up are the laces - opting for the "stretchy" type. Just a personal preference. One zonk for the gray color - a bit boring, but probably they'll be covered in dirt and such soon enough. Finally, I'm not typically what you call a "sock wearer." These have a soft enough interior that I can go barefoot inside the shoe. I'd recommend these if you're looking for that compromise between a slight barefoot feel but not sacrifice protection for your feet in rough trail running; and you prefer a zero drop feel.

Still too tight
3 months ago
I was so hoping that Altra would fix Superior 6’s problem with the tight fit across the top with this new version, but this ain’t it! The Superior 5s are my all time favorites, took my old pair off to try these on and these new ones are so, so tight on the top of my foot. I’ll be returning these and waiting for something better from Altra.

Too tight at the mid foot
2 months ago
I've owned several pairs of altras. I wear size 7.5 in lone peaks and 8 in superiors. Unfortunately the superior 7 is too tight across the mid foot. Odd design where loosening the shoelaces at the first pair of eyelets does nothing to give more space because there's simply not enough fabric around that area. Compared to the superior 5 these are much tighter on top, and gave me pain when I tried them on. However, the soles on the 7s are a bit more comfortable than the 5s.

So comfortable!

I bought these to replace my well-loved Superior 3's and I could not be happier. These are lightweight and as comfortable as slippers while still having the support and traction for walking and hiking. These are narrower than some models, but I feel they fit my wide feet better than my Olympus 6's that my feet just slide around in. I normally wear a size 11 but always buy my Altras in size 12. Thank you REI for carrying this shoe in size 12.

The color is more a light denim blue than gray which suites me just fine! I’ve worn them around the house & appreciate the wide toes box, ease of putting them on. Love Altra shoes. And appreciate the REI member sale opportunity.

I love these shoes, but unfortunately they seem to tight. I am hoping to try them on in a size larger and fix the problem.
