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.

Nice looking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the design/style and color. It fits decent but because of the shape it feels a bit snug in the toes. I wish there would be more cushion, they feel a bit stiff. For walking these are fine and comfortable but when I run in them it's a different story, not much padding ends up hurting my feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to run on treadmills as well as outdoors, these shoes are super comfortable and make running so much easier for me, the width is perfect and the style is super cute as well. Definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish shoe to workout in.

Great Trail Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Escalante 3, the Solstice XT 2, and now the Superior 6. I love each of them for different reasons. These fit slightly smaller than the Escalante or the Solstice in the same size (I'm usually an 8 across the board). I can definitely run in them, but I might size up a half size especially if I were wearing thicker/merino wool socks. They are light and have excellent tread. The zero drop is perfect for an aspiring barefoot-shoe-wearer like me. They have a decent amount of cushion, but still allow for ground feel. I received mine in exchange for an honest review, but I would absolutely buy them again both for hiking and trail running.

Tight, must return.

I ordered my usual size in Altra. This particular pair is slimmer than most of my others (and I have quite a few). The tongue of the shoe is permanently attached on the left side making it difficult to stuff my foot into the shoe. The material doesn’t stretch at all, really an odd design.

Stop changing good shoes!
1 year ago
Why do shoe companies change shoes when they have a loyal fan base? There's a reason why people continue to buy their shoes, but when they keep changing them and there are increasingly more options that are offering large tow box and zero drop, they are going to lose their base. If people, love the shoes then why change them? Superiors used to be low profile like Xero shoes but now they just seem like a regular road shoe. I loved feeling like I wasn't wearing hardly anything on the trails and I'm holding onto an early pair of Superiors! Also, make us colors for nature! These are trail shoes for God sakes.

New seam added causes restriction & pain.
1 year ago
I own 3 pair of Astra Superior 5s, I went into try on some of the new Superior 6 shoes. There is a new seam on the outside of the shoe at the placement of the knuckles of the toes, at the end of the toe box where the lacing starts. The seam is very restrictive and caused the shoe to squeeze my foot to the point of light pain. I tried a few different shoes and two different sizes to try to mediate this issue. No Good! Painful shoe now that it has this added seam. I'm sure it was to increase the structure/stability of the shoe, but I can no longer wear my favorite Altras. :(

Just alright

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want it to like these shoes, I really did but they are just ok. I wore them twice but both times they just weren't comfortable. They made the sides of my feet hurt just a half mile into my hike.

Way too tight in the forefoot

After 3 pairs of the 5 and not being able to find any more I tried these. They put my pinky toes to sleep, the length was fine but they were a tiny bit narrower but was to tight across the top !
