I have wide and flat feet. A year ago I purchased some Altra hiking boots and fell in love, so thought I'd try these running shoes. Fit perfect right out of the box. So comfortable, great color combos, easy to lace tightly, and the tongue is attached so it doesn't get bunched up or slide.

My first pair were the best running/walking shoes ever. I ordered a half size up in my second pair. My body sings walking in these shoes.

I clean houses in these shoes for 8-12 hours a day and LOVE them. I have a super wide foot and they fit great, breathe well, and are durable.

These are amazing shoes for people who have foot issues like bunions etc. The only issue I have is the colors they offer.

Love the wide toe box. I have some arthritis in my feet and do not like a shoe with a big arch support. These are my second pair, different style. I use them for walking and hiking. Walked mikes per day in Ecuador and Galapagos with 1st pair. The new pair came with an insert for stone protection.

These are my first pair of Altras ever, and I love them! I am training for races and triathlons that max out at the same distance as a full marathon, and wanted something speedy. As of now, I have put approximately 30 miles on these shoes, and I haven't had the chance to run longer than 5 miles in them yet. They are extremely light weight and minimalistic, while giving me enough support while running down rugged terrain. I live in the Lake Tahoe area, and the traction is fantastic, even when a trail is wet or seemingly slippery, especially as the snow continues to melts. I'm a big fan of the tongue being apart of one side of the shoe, giving me the chance to tighten them as snug as a sock. I am eager to see how they hold up on longer runs!

I have nerve damage in my toes/right foot from years of playing soccer, wearing heels, cheap flip flops, and “getting old”. After trying multiple “expensive” brands my toes were still falling asleep when I ran. I saw a coworker wearing these and I asked him a few questions and sounded like we had similar issues. Long story short I tried these and did a 4 mile run/walk chasing my daughter on her bike yesterday and my toes didn’t fall asleep or pop out of socket like they would in my other shoes!! It was like magic! Im not saying my foot is cured but it definitely helped! My feet are very skinny with a high arch, and these have a wide toe box which I didn’t think I needed, but I think that did the trick.I’m usually a size 9-9.5 and went with a 9.5 and they fit perfectly. I also wear a 9.5 in the ON brand and 9 in Nike or Adidas if that helps anyone!

I use my Altra's Superior 5 for walking around the block and taking my dog to the dog park. I occasionally use them for hiking trails and they are so comfortable with the perfect amount of cushion.

Fantastic shoe. Got the orange which is a pretty cantaloupe color. I know I have at least a dozen pair of Altra shoes. With this style, I Love the fit, cushioning and how they make my foot look smaller. Nothing rubs or pinches I could sleep in these. I like how the tongue is sewn in place in this style on one side which keeps tongue from occasionally sliding. I'm not the average runner. I'm 73 with bad knees. My only running is to the bathroom. These are the most comfortable shoe for anyone. I would recommend these shoes for every day comfort and stability. I'm picky with shoes and just ordered two more colors. Keep up the great work Altra! To me they're the best shoe on the market and worth every penny!

I love these shoes. As a loyal Brooks Cascadia user, I was looking for something better. I have a wide toe box and narrow heal and I was always slipping out of the Cascadias. Not with these.

First time trying this brand. I love the seamless toebox, nothing rubbing against my troublesome toe joint. Comfortable wide width design. Teal side trim with the charcoal grey is a great choice. My feet thank you.

I wear 7 in Lone Peak 6 and 7.5 in Torin and Escalante 3. I got a 7 in the Superior. The fit is definitely shorter than that of the LP's. I could probably have used a 7.5, but I'm comfortable with these 7s.

Comfortable out of the box. Runs a little wide, but that works perfect with my foot. I walk 1-3 miles a day, these shoes felt great on day one. Would purchase this brand again.

The fit on these is amazing! Unfortunately I really need one without the weird colors. I wish they just had a basic black at zappos. They do at Altra but Zappo's customer loyalty is great so I try to do most of my shopping on zappo's

I run 10+ miles at a time with my dad on country roads. My dad is an ultra-runner and bought me these shoes as we increase our mileage. These shoes are really comfortable, and my dad says I need to stay with zero drop to keep with our running technique. I really like them and can't wait to run my first marathon in them!!!

I am a nurse. I'm on my feet 10+ hours both standing and walking. These are the first pain of shoes I have found comfortable in years!! I've waisted so much money on different brands only to be very disappointed. My sister recommended this brand after her podiatrist suggested it. Thank you for finally making a shoes that is suited for real people with real foot and back issues!!

I love the big toe box. I honestly don't like shoes because they always feel to tight. It always seemed like I was looking for something that looks like a duckbilled platypus. In these shoes, I have found it!

Always love the Suprior because they're so light, yet grippy. I feel like I can really move on the trails without getting weighed down with a bunch of cushion. This iteration is no different...comfy, wide, and light!
