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.

I love these shoes. They feel great and look nice, too. Perfect shade of blue. Lots of cushioning. Nice toe box.
Altra describes this shoe as having the same "FootShape" as the Lone Peak, but it does not fit like the Lone Peak at all. This shoe was very narrow across the ball of my foot and hurt the second I put it on. The sole felt okay-ish ... I might try the men's version for a wider fit.
