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.

In typical Altra fashion, they create a decent shoe that needs some tweaks and then they introduce the next gen model that are completely garbage. You can feel the seam of the tongue because for some reason they still are attaching the tongue to the shoe. With every step you can feel the upper crease above your toes. The upper is maybe an inch tall from the sole to your ankle...it's incredibly low resulting in insane heel slippage. I keep trying to go back to altras but because every new model has significant changes I just can't. I tried again and will be sticking with my Topos. This brand used to be amazing. It was the standard. And not they can't even come close to the bar.

This is a great trail running shoe. The 4mm drop is a sweet spot for me. I have two pair of the original Wild's and have over 250 miles on each pair. The 2's feel great and need no break in time. I am normally a 9 1/2, but order a 10 in this shoe. I have around 40 miles on the 2's and find they are as comfortable and cushioned as the 1's. I'll be sticking with the Wild line as long as Altra makes them. I am 70 yrs. old and have been running for about 50 years. These are the best trail shoes I have owned.

Great fit and comfort on the trail and around town

I have some significant foot issues due to arthritis and I have had surgery to remove bone spurs. Finding comfortable shoes can be a challenge. I have tried a wide variety of shoes and the Altra trail-running shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have found. I usually wear a size 10 but the Altra in a 10.5 fits perfectly with no slipping and no pressure points on my feet. I now have three pairs of Altra shoes and I can walk and hike without pain.

Great shoes

Very comfortable trail runners. I've been an Altra loyalist for quite some time now, and some shoes are definitely better than others when it's time for a run or a hike. I've worn these for about 2 months now for my morning routine, and I'm already planning to buy a second pair. They look great too--the olive green color is very nice and understated without being boring.

This is the best road to trail shoe for comfort and performance. Wide toe box is important for me. 4mm drop works.
