It’s an extremely comfortable, lightweight shoe with great arch support, a secure and supportive heel cup, and the toebox houses a relatively wide foot (but not for the widest of feet).
We’d say this shoe would suit heavier runners who need max cushioning and come down hard on their shoes, especially heavy heel strikers, as its design and durability will hold up against that.
This is Altra’s best-selling road shoe and it’s about as comfortable as it’s possible for a shoe to be.
In fact, while it’s a shoe we’d choose for burning up the miles at a steady pace, we also find it just about responsive enough for shorter, faster runs and its slight rocker shape makes for a smooth roll-through.
It has a decent amount of cushioning and it’s on the firmer side, so ideal if you don’t like a shoe that feels like you’re sinking into it.
