Finally a shoe with a wide enough toe box! I have a bunion and need width and a little height in the toe box. This shoe has it. In addition, it is comfortable in the heel.

I love that it is both rigid and flexible. Gives support for cross training and comfort for just wearing. I am a personal trainer so I love that it is comfortable but ready to perform when I need it.

These are the most comfortable workout shoes I have ever owned. They are lightweight but supportive and so comfortable . The wide toe box and its shape are perfect for me. I do strength training and kickboxing and these are great. Will never have anything else for my workouts!

The shoe was just a half size too large but the support for a training workout was good. I like the wide toe box of the Altra brand and hope that the smaller size I ordered isn't too small. I usually take a 10.5 in Altra brand but this 10.5 was just a tad too large.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance.

I love these, I bought a pair and they only lasted a year but I did wear them to walk a lot. My only gripe is that I wish they would take the lift out of the heel and then it would be the perfect walking shoe for someone who is flat footed and likes a wider toe box. The lift in the heel, is disruptive enough that standing still isn't super comfortable. I also wish they came in different more fashionable colors like black with white, black with gold accent, white with gold accent, white with rose gold accent, nude colors etc. I'd buy more pairs if they were easier to style.

I knew I liked the solstice and needed a pair in black. I am not disappointed at all! Love these for the gym. My only negative thought is that the laces need to be longer.

Size: I wore a 10.5 in the original Solstice and had to go up to an 11 with these.
Comfort: Sturdier feel that originals. More structure makes for a more confident stride. The uppers are made to make you feel like you're not wearing shoes at all, while still giving support.
I wear mine to hit the gym. So to their off white color, I don't feel comfortable wearing these on a normal basis. I don't want to get them unnecessarily dirty.
Only gripe is lack of color options.
These shoes are great. If you like the zero drop feel of shoes and a wider more natural toe box then give them a try. You'll be happy you did!

Love these shoes. This is my second pair but different color. I originally have to go up a half size when I buy running shoes however these are made with toes in mind so I can buy my normal size and not have to worry about my toes being scrunched together. No more blisters between my toes from rubbing together. Love that someone finally made a shoe with a real persons foot in mind.

I love these shoes. They have so much support plus a toe box wide enough for my toes to spread. I've been looking for a wide toe box, non minimalist shoe and these are it. I just wish there were more colors. And I wish the shoelaces were longer

I am loving the versatility of this shoe! I can go from running to lifting and don't have to change shoes. Perfect for the WODS that have lifts and running. I want to buy in another color!

This is my first pair of Altra's and I'm very impressed! I need support but wanted a workout shoe for crossfit style classes + lifting and these are perfect. I love the toebox width.

I bought a pair of white Solstice XT2 shoes for my wife. They were here first pair of Altria. She does 9 Rounds HITT classes. She's loved them. Gives her lateral support and feels good kicking the bag. She then bought a pair of black ones to hide scuffs and made her white pair her every day shoe.

I love these shoes! I wear them to lift and play pickle ball. One weird thing, one shoe lace is super short, makes it hard to tie!

This is my second pair of altras. I love them. They are so comfey under foot and I love how wide they are at the toe. I have sensitivity on the joint if my big toe, so shoes can often irritate it. These do not. I mostly wear them for cross training and tennis as they have a wide sole so they're great for lots of side to side movement. I have used them for running and they're fine but if I'm running long distances I prefer more arch support. Overall, these are my favorite cross-training shoes I've ever purchased. I highly recommend! I will say that the first ones I bought were cloth on the toe so I got holes in the toes pretty quick when I used them for tennis, these pair are have rubber a little higher on the toe so I don't have that problem anymore

I think I may have finally found my shoes. After a long search for shoes that have enough toe room and not excessive cushioning, these are the best so far. Thank you , Zappos and Altra!
I’m still adjusting to the zero drop aspect, so gradually getting used to them, and working with my orthopedist. Although all the Altras I’ve tried have been kind to the balls of my feet, I’ve found that the higher stacked Altras are too unstable for me. These have plenty of cushioning but also are pretty stable side-to-side.

My chiropractor recommended these shoes I'm tall and have back pain and wide feet so I listened to his recommendation and he was right. I never thought I would own shoes that were comfortable and cute. I actually enjoy going for walks now without my feet hurting. The first pair of shoes I ordered got stolen unfortunately however I contacted the company and they immediately sent me another pair. I'm truly thankful and relived. I'll definitely be telling friends and family and be a return customer
