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.
I absolutely loved these shoes! Run don't walk to buy them!
[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.
I love this shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been used this shoes for a while and let me tell you that if you have bunions you have to buy them they are very comfortable and enough space for your bunion you can have long walks and no pain
Stop changing good shoes!
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.
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 !
Perfect fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable on my foot and and good support!
Not the best fit compared to Lone Peak
I have owned 12 Altra shoes over the years (currently have 5, one for each sport / activity). Almost all have been Lone Peak, 5, 6, and 7. They have all been fantastic with a very similar fit, and perfect for my extremely wide toe box. The Superior 6 was on sale, so I bought it. Love the color (green) and length is fine, but there is a strange feeling of tightness not at the end of the shoe, but at the first lowest lace area. Even with the lace completely loose there is an odd pinching sensation there. I will still wear them, but not for anything serious.
