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.

Comfy out of the box
Yes , I recommend this product
I’ve been wearing Altras Olympus trail runners for several years. After Altra added a heel pad in the model 6 that created a built-in place for a hot spot and blisters, I began my search for a new shoe. I have yet to use the Altra Experience Wild shoes on a backpacking trip yet, they are possibly the most comfortable shoes I’ve used in many years for walking and wearing around. I’m hoping that Altra listens to the many poor reviews of the model 6 Olympus and ditch the heel pad and I may go back to using the more cushioned Olympus model again. Until then, The Experience Wild model is a great choice.

So Far - Sooooooo Good!
Yes , I recommend this product
Last year - I emailed Altra asking them to put lugs on the bottom of the Experience Flow 2's as I wanted that exact trail shoe. Unknown to me, they already had it in the works. So far, this is the ultimate, do it all trail shoe. Enough cushion for the trails - enough pop to speed up - enough traction to tackle nasty conditions - breathable - great lockdown. It really covers al the bases. As for fit, it's slightly more narrow than the Timp 5's - but perfect (at least for my foot shape). Looking forward to testing it on future ultras.
