Customer Reviews Altra Solstice XT 2

When I was pregnant I bought this shoe, a little bigger than my previous Altras because my feet were swollen and I wore this shoe daily. It's a little loose on me now but still super comfortable and I wear it all the time

I have 2 pair of these shoes - white & black to be my daily wear/lifestyle sneakers. They are the perfect for this use, but in less than 1 yr of use, they both have holes in the upper near the toes.

I am a 5.5 wide - & ironically enough NO ONE makes a solid athletic trainer that size. Altra comes super close w/ their wider toe platform. However my toe base is still slightly squished & the sole base is slightly too narrow leading to cramping. Less cramping than a 6 M bc it does fit better, but still. Dang. Haha I am an Altra cult follower. My only brand for workout shoes. I box, run, and cross train conditioning.

I walk about 25 miles a week in these and wear a separate pair for in the house.

I've been playing pickleball for about 18 months. It took time to find the right zero drop for the court. THIS IS IT!!! I play daily. I keep 2 paur in rotation. I love these and recommend constantly.

Really enjoying these. My one complaint is the laces - they are comically short. I don't have wide feet and I can barely tie them. They're the stupid round ones on top of it all so they are constantly coming untied during my workout and it's just annoying and distracting. I realize I can easily swap them out but for what these shoes cost it would be great if the shoe laces were a bit more functional.

Love this sneaker! At least the second time around. The first pair I received began to fall apart after 4 gym sessions - the sole peeled apart. I sent those back and ordered a second pair, and the new ones are holding up as expected this time. I will reorder these in the future because nothing else is roomy enough for my wide, high volume feet. Hope there are more and better color options coming.

Comfortable and perfect for my workout needs. These ran 1/2 size too small. I've been wearing Altra's for many years and ordered my usual size but was too small and had to go up 1/2 a size.

I have been wearing these for tennis for over a year and I love the way they feel on my feet while playing! Perfect amount of cushioning for me and nice and low that helps my feet stay flat - no ankle rolling. For me they fit like a glove! These are the only shoes I have been able to find that are foot shaped, zero drop and wide enough for me.The down side is that the white ones I've been wearing only last 3 months max as I wear the medial tread and the toe portion wears down to the fabric underneath rapidly. I recently purchased a pair of light blue ones and although I'm not positive, I believe it's possible that the quality of the tread may be made of a denser rubber than the white or black ones - so they might last longer. Will have to see about that but that's my hope! Shoe laces are way too short (2"), like others mention and they come untied easily.

The shoes have felt great so far. They are not super cushiony, but I like flatter shoes for the gym anyway. I've gone straight from weight lifting to jogging and my feet have felt great the whole time. The reason I took a star away is that I feel like within the same brand, sizes should be standard. However, my 6.5 Timps and Superiors are definitely slightly smaller than these. I wish I would've seen that these run a little big because I should've ordered a 6.0.

These are great shoes for functional fitness until the sole separates from the rest of the shoe. When you can fix this, it will be the perfect crosstrainer.

I love these shoes for walking, but I find myself tying them 3-4 times on a simple 3 mile walk. They are comfortable for the 1st year or so and then need to be replaced (which I've done, despite the lace problem).

I've been playing tennis (indoor, hard court) in these for two or months now, and a great barefoot style option. I think stability for lateral movements could be a bit better, and I'm a little concerned about duration, but overall the wider toebox more than makes up for it. And, like others have mentioned, the shoelaces are ridiculously short.

I have other Altra shoes and love them. However, when receiving these, I found that the she feels shorter, more snug, less toe room. I can't even tie the shoe laces because they are way too short.

I really love these shoes and the wide toe box. However, I have had them for just 6 weeks and the bottom soles are peeling off from every corner. Disappointing but hopefully not all have this issue.

These shoes changed everything. I can't go back to any other shoe I think. Since I switched to zero drop shoes, there's been no more feet pain! Downside: they wear too quick. I need more colors! :)

Very comfortable, and cute! I definitely appreciate the wide toe box, and the stylish looks. Many wide toe box, "barefoot" shoes, are also kinda clunky looking, but not these. And, I find the shoelace length to be just right. The past years I noticed that shoe laces were getting longer and longer, and I would have to double tie the laces, or tuck them in just so I wouldn't trip. I find these laces are just right length. Would love more colors, a dark navy.

This shoe is very comfortable! I love the space in the toe box. Not cramped at all but feels secure in the heel. My only complaint is laces are barely long enough to tie. Will be replacing the laces.

The shoes run perfect for me since I have "normal" feet. I found the comfort of these exceeded my expectations plus felt more secure for the different workouts I have been mixing up lately. The MINOR flaw with these shoes that made me pretty disappointed was with the shoelaces. They come with very skinny, flat shoelaces and don't sell/offer purchase of another pair that may be more suitable for your shoe size.

I was looking for a shoe designed for weight and interval training. These are perfect and help me stay balanced. That said, the shoelaces were not great, they are slippery and had to be re-tied often. I ended up replacing them.
