Customer Reviews Altra Provision 6

I was Leary ordering a full size up but it fit perfectly, still working on the best way to lace them for me, ie tight across the top or around the ankle. The material seems a bit stiff in places, tongue is much better than sone of Altra others, love the color.

I am desperate for an Altra shoe without the long, stiff tongue some of their models have. So this shoe fits the bill in that regard. They are a bit wide in the heel for me, but I can probably adjust lacing etc to make it work. Took my usual Altra size 9 and it seems correct.

The fit was great, the arch seemed a little high but I believe its just my foot.

I liked the extra space in the toebox. However, this is the first time I felt like a shoe squeezed my heel and made it uncomfortable.

I loved Altra and bought them for years. However, the last pair I have is the Provision 3.5; what a great shoe that was. I thought I would give them a try again with the latest iteration (Provision 6.0). Very disappointed that the width was really snug and I don't have a wide foot. The toebox shape is great but a little too slanted so my large toe hit the end right where the toebox turns toward the side. Why they can't make a shoe wide enough to really be comfortable throughout the midfoot and the toebox is beyond me. They did it once; seems they could do it again! Hence, I'm still looking for a shoe that works as my old shoes begin to unravel.

I've been running in Altra shoes for years, starting with the now-discontinued Intuition 1.0. Zero-drop has made an amazing difference to my knee and hop joints. My preference is the Lone Peak, both for how it feels and how it looks, but a recent knee injury led me to try something with more cushioning. The cushioning has probably helped, and although being higher off the ground feels a little weird, the extra height of the sole has not caused me to trip, which had been a worry. Aesthetically, they're fine except for the big white border around the outside of the sole, which I think is awful. But they're running shoes, so the fashionability, or lack thereof, is not a major concern.

I bought this shoe because I suffer from plantar fasciitis. I love Altras because of the zero heel toe differential and the wide toe box, which leaves ample room for my feet. This model has more cushioning than my previous model (which I cant remember!) and so far has not aggravated my foot pain. It seems to have decent arch support. I really wish it did not have a high back, which rubs the back of my heel and causes pain after about an hour of walking. I am thinking of just cutting it off. Otherwise, I love this shoe.

I like Altra shoes for the wide toe box. Was hoping these would fit better. These hug my wide heels way too much, painful. Wide toe box was good, heel cup and instep way too tight for me, length was good.

It would have been an awesome show if the heel didn't feel so strangely narrow and uncomfortable. The toe box was perfect and they are great looking shoes, but the heel was extremely uncomfortable.

Not enough foot stabilization or cushioning. Sole felt thin.

Not enough foot stability or cushioning

Medial heel compression felt very uncomfortable. I wore these around the house for about 5 minutes and was already experiencing some discomfort. I have been a die-hard altra supporter for years but feel very confused by their fit lately. Style, color, and overall look are great but waaay too uncomfortable to keep so I have to return them.

They are comfortable wearing and while running. Im not a fan of the crease each shoe makes in the front of the shoe /toebox. My toe will press up against it at times and it looks funny too. Plus I fell the first day wearing them, more grippy than i was used to and messed up my right shoe.

I had to check the box and make sure I ordered the right size. Very short.

always am a 7 1/2 so ordered and with limited arch support my feet slid off the footbed- great toe box and like better then my brooks but after that the shoe does not narrow and the arch was not enough at all for me- love the feel and color and need to find one with higher support and narrows after the toe box- even tried 2 pairs of socks.

The larger toe box was great ( I usually wear Brooks) BUT it does not "narrow" enough towards the heel and my foot/ankle slides inward? The shoe folds over due almost and hits 1 foot at heel and 1 on the arch- going to return and try another pair with smaller size, higher arch support? or not sure- but will try b/c of the toe box- loved it

I'm not a runner, I'm looking for a comfortable shoe to accommodate my forefoot problems. This is a beautifully made shoe and the fit was pretty good for me. I love the generous toe box width, although the height was a little low for me. My problem was with the sole. The sole is not solid and the thin places in the sole don't support my foot adequately. After having it on for about 10 minutes my foot started aching.
