Altra  Voyager Shoes - Men's

Too narrow and NOT for high volume feet The shoe is nice and lightweight but being the standard foot shape it’s too narrow for those who need truly wide shoes, but that’s not news The bigger issue is the volume with these laces - I do not have swollen feet just higher volume and these laces make the top of my foot look like my foot is in sausage casing and the tongue isn’t wide enough to cover my whole foot. I can’t loosen them any more than they are.

I wore lone peaks to work for years. I had one partner mockingly address me as "REI." I'll take it. These are more presentable and still decent for running/hiking in a pinch. I went up a half size from my Lone Peak size. The toebox and midfoot are adequately wide for my foot, unlike some of Altra's other "standard toeshape" models. The 4mm drop isn't particularly noticable. For comparison, I don't tolerate 4E New Balances because of the toebox and drop. The build quality is Altra standard, which is to say "acceptable." Durability is fine so far. It's not a perfect shoe, but I'm still leaving a 5 star review because I don't want them to discontinue it.

Love all my other altras and really wanted these to be my new travel shoe, style was good but the width on the forefoot was a bit too narrow compared to my lone peaks and escalantes. Felt a little pinching on the forefoot which ultimately led me to returning them. Would be a sweet shoe if the just kept it wider and zero drop.

I have an odd callous problem near the ball of one foot so my podiatrist suggested I try Altra. My feet are relatively narrow. These fit well except for slight bunching up of the material at the ball of the foot. Nevertheless, these are extremely comfortable shoes. We just returned from two weeks of travel in northern European capital cities and these were great for day after day of five miles plus of walking - many of those miles on cobblestones. My feet felt great every day and my odd callous problem did not bother me at all. The soles and padding absorbed the pounding on cobblestones without flinching. I'm now considering a second pair of Altas. They are just amazingly comfortable.

Purchased these excited at the prospect of a casual, everyday Altra. They do look great, but are uncomfortable. Aside from them being very tight mid foot, there is a sewn patch at the bottom lace stay that rubs all day long. Not like Altras of the past, unfortunately.

Sizing a little off from other Altra shoes I have worn. The toe box seems a little more narrow/constricted. I usually comfortably wear a size 11.5 regular and I feel the longest toe being pushed backwards like I should wear a 12 in this shoe. Otherwise the shoe is well-made and the Vibram sole should help durability. I am wearing the shoe for daily walks: I don't think the elastic lacing system would give a lock-down feeling you might want for more strenuous activity.

I purchased these for a 6-day trip to Chicago that averaged 10 miles per day of walking around the city. The speed lace system holds my heel in the heel cup surprisingly well and is very easy on/off. They are extremely comfortable walkabout shoes and the soles seem to be wearing well so far. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of breathability from the ripstop upper. During the trip, my feet were sweating so much there was a 1/4-1/2" strip of moisture on the ripstop material at the toe box. Due to this issue alone, I cannot give this shoe more than 3 stars.

I had a lot of hope for this shoe, as on paper it would be my dream travel shoe: ✅ Sleek profile in a clean Tan colorway ✅ Altra's signature wide toe box that I love ✅ Vibram sole with enough bite for light trail use Unfortunately, I encountered the same fit issues that other reviewers have mentioned. For reference, I am a US Size 11 and typically sit between a standard and wide width. My other Altras use their "Original" footshape (Lone Peak 7 and 9+, and the Escalante 4), so this was my first time trying their "Standard" fit. While I can usually wear most other casual and athletic sneakers without an issue because they conform to my feet, these were the first shoes I've tried that were actually painful to wear after just a few minutes. The Voyager is noticeably snug throughout the midfoot, and the area around the ball of the foot is the tightest and most uncomfortable spot. The eyelet for the bottom lace is the biggest culprit here, as unlike other sneakers there is just no flex in that area. The sides also pinched while walking, even after I tried to break them in for longer than I probably should have. If you have a narrow or low-volume foot, then I think you'll love these, as the quality, look, and function are definitely there. I really wanted these to be my go-to travel shoe, but I ultimately had to return them due to the discomfort for my feet.

I purchased the Voyager at a race expo back in April and I have worn them every single day for about 3 months. It takes just a few days to break them in, but once they're broken in, the midsole is heavenly to walk on. I wear them from quick errands to all-day urban adventures and it performs admirably. The stretchy lock-laces are incredible. I'm not a big fan of them for running shoes, but they are perfect for daily drivers like the Voyager. I'm so happy with this purchase and can't wait to buy a pair for my mom ☺️

This is without a doubt the best fitting Altra shoe since the Torin 3.0. Right out of the box super comfortable. I will wear these for everything including golf. I like the 4mm drop and the elastic laces. Easy on and easy off. Highly recommend the Voyage. True to size and just enough cushion. Way to go Altra.
