Customer Reviews Altra Provision 6

Great thickness in the heel. No more heel pain.

This color is probably the most impractical of all, but I love it. This is my second pair of provision 6s, had the gray ones before. While I do like them, I wish they were more durable. My first pair only lasted six months before it lost structure/support and developed a hole in the top. I have worn Altras for three years now and the durability seems to be an ongoing issue.

Provision is the only Altra I've found that helps with the pronation. Keeps my foot mostly level and securely in the shoe. It feels true to size though in my normal size I would a thicker sock but cannot with this one. Works out fine, but Altra seems to be kind of wonky with the consistency of the sizing lately. I can walk longer without leg fatigue with Provision. Plus the metatarsal is protected. The high back worried me thinking it might hurt the achilles but it has an outward angle that leaves the achilles alone. This is the shoe with the guide rail which seems to help. I ordered another pair because they don't seem to last as long as they used to in the past. Altra seems to moving away from their original purpose and that is going to make me have to look at other brands. Also makes me sad. Been an Altra fan for a long time.

Been wearing Altra Lone Peaks and Duo (not made anymore). Wanted another 'Duo', lots of cush, wide box toe, arch support. These didn't cut it. I had a 'duo' on 1 foot and 'provision' on the other. The provision is a slightly tighter. I called Altra directly, and they said there shouldn't be any difference. They have not changed the fit, but different models have different foot shapes. The Rivera they said, is considered their 'slimmer' fit. So, even though i had sized up 1/2, i'm returning and going another 1/2 size up, totaling 1 full size.

They feel a little tight at first, but they stretch a little and feel less tight after a few times of wearing them. Best shoe for Plantar Fasciitis. Love them

These are a lifesaver. I have a plethora of issues with my feet, plantar fasciitis to name one. I am a teacher and stand all day we can’t sit and these sneakers have changed my life. I usually wear Brooks Ghost but those were starting to get stretched out and not hold up. These sneakers are everything I could ask for and my feet don’t throb by noon like they used to.

Anyone with problem feet like me (bunions & the problems that go with) understands a lifelong quest for comfortable shoes. Currently recovering from 2nd metatarsal full fracture and needed zero drop shoes with plenty of room in the toe box. This shoe was super comfortable right out of the box and still awesome after walking on pavement for a few miles. Note: followed the advice of several reviewers to order up 1/2 size and the fit is perfect for me. Also has plenty of room for toe separators. Will definitely be ordering additional pairs.

Excellent fit! Wide enough in toe box. Good support. And nice fit in the heel.

These shoes are very comfortable, and I love the wide toe area! I wear full foot orthotics, so I sized up a half size to accommodate the orthotics.

I love the fit of these shoes, I have a pair of Altra that I have worn out that are no longer available so I tried this style and love them. I am on my feet on concrete much of the day and these work great. The arch support is just right for me, very comfy.

Bought 1/2 size bigger than normal they are perfect fit

My first pair of Provision 6. They look and feel great. I agree with others that shoestrings are too short!
