Pretty good. I’ve had lots of running Altra’s and these are on par. It would be great if they came in a widower mid section but I loosened up the laces all the way and they fit fine.

This shoe was very stiff at first. it took me wearing the shoe for short times every day for a week and then longer periods of time until after three weeks the shoes fit like a glove. They are now comfortable and I am enjoying all the elements of the Altra shoes I have enjoyed in the past like the zero heal, the room for toes and appropriate amount of insole padding and arch. I love these now.

I wear Altras a half size up in the Paradigm and Cayd. Escalante did not fit my wide feet. Wish they made a true wide but having said that, the black/black Cayd is one of the sleekest street shoes out there. Extremely comfortable wide toe box. Buy them.

These are the best shoes. Very very comfortable. In a previous review I mentioned how I run in them sometimes. I know these are not running shoes. (as some other reviewers have mentioned) They are a bit too heavy and clunky to be considered a running shoe. However, Sometimes I say F#$k it and I run to work in them. I throw my work pants and shirt in my sling and have a Fantastic short run. Just under 3 mies. the shoes hold up great on these short distances. The wide toe box feels great. They are very fitting and responsive. A joy to run in. Super fun. Then the comfort holds up all day at work as well. For me personally the fit of these and their feel makes them an all around awesome shoe. I skate, run, bike, work, and hike in these things. Just bought my fourth pair. Still have the last 3 And they are all still holding up even after lots of rough use. Just made well.

These are amazing shoes. The Zero Drop heel and wide toe box feel amazing on my feet.
Between the Altra Cayd and OluKai Moloa my issues with Plantar fasciitis are gone!!
I consider both the Altra Cayd and OluKai Moloa life changing shoes.

Love these shoes for my everyday work and around town. The all black and the brown go with jeans to a nice pair of Chinos, Twills or Khakis!

Well made, sturdy and very comfortable. Stylish enough for casual business wear. Good value. Altras generally run a half size to a full size small on my foot, so order a size up.

I have a pair of these in brown and black and love them both. I have seen reviews where people are using these shoes for running and in my opinion they are not made for that. I use them strictly for office and causal wear and have the Escalante for running and workouts. This is a great casual/work shoe and that is what they are really best for.

Best shoe I own hands down. I wear 11.5. Wide toe base, solid shoe. Solid fit, solid look, solid wear.
Anyone have any recommendation if I should use leather conditioner on them? I was going to use Honey Leather on them.

Most comfortable shoe I can remember wearing. Definitely would buy again. I bought size 12, the size I buy for other Altra models. Initially the Cayd felt a little tight but felt perfect after a day or two.

These are awesome for business casual. I work on my feet on concrete all day and the fit, cushion, and support are all great. Zero drop and foot shape are nice as well. I really appreciate the perforated panel over the toes. It still looks nice but also allows your toes to breath a little. I have received several compliments on the style as well.

This stands out. It is great and different. No rise. Flat. The cushion is supportive and forms to your foot. Like bare feet, but with a comfortable cushion. I bought them to walk and work in. This is my first pair. Very Neutral. I have tried there running shoes and found this to be what I was looking for. Flat and wide toes...just like our feet. oh...and my back feels good!

Best shoe selection I ever made. The best feature is that they are "foot-shaped"; it is not a sign of human intelligence that most people prefer shoes that are "pointy - toed" because of so-called "style", instead of shoes that are shaped like their feet. These shoes are the ultimate in comfort and quality of construction.

My size 13 US feet are relatively wide across the toes and narrow at the heel. I have moderate arches and descending length toes from big toe to little toe. The Cayd shoes fit my feet as well or better that any other shoes and provide as much sole cushion as I could want (more than I would prefer in some circumstances, but great if I am on my feet most of the day). I recently had a good replacement and find the shoes to be outstanding in almost every way except that the sole cushioning allows the sole to compress in a way the lessens the stability somewhat. It's a trade-off between comfort and stability that is reasonable. I rarely even notice any less than desirable effect. This is my new favorite shoe. I bought both the brown and the black on black.

I love Altra shoes. The Cayd didn't disappoint. Very comfortable shoe. Great to walk around it. The leather around the ankle is a little stiff and made my skin sore. Loosened the shoe around the ankle and no problem. The leather is soft and feels good, but does need to be broke in. Love the shoes. Will buy again. My go to shoe now for causal wear.
