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.

My second pair of Wilds! I am loving the combination of stability and cushioning. Great for trails, mud, rocks, etc.
Although these were the most comfortable pair of trail runners I’ve ever owned, the durability is terrible. They barely lasted 200 miles of backpacking, while I expect trail runners to hold up for 300-500. The tops ripped just below the base of my big toe, and no amount of duct tape could fix it. If they lasted longer they would probably have been 5 stars! Love the cushion and wide toe box, and worked well for my wide/flat feet. Would only recommend if you only hike on occasion and on easy trails, but I personally won’t be buying these again.
