Customer Reviews Altra Provision 8

I wear more for walking than running. I need the wide toe box and these are the best fit I can find. Only complaint I have is the color they call "White/Blue" is not accurate. The liner is blue but the exterior has a definite green gray color, not blue to my eye.

Wish they had more cushion in the toe bed.

I've been wearing Altra shoes for a decade & currently rotate between 8 pairs. While I keep buying I wish they would go back to the OG concepts and colors. These are at best ok.

I went on a mile run to try the shoes out. they were fine but i had knee pains. i went on another mile and this time i realized that this shoe is rock solid. the shoe barely flexes and feels like a rock

Wide toe box and narrow mid foot makes no sense. Cushioning is non existent. I don't run but if I did it wouldn't be in these.

This is my 3rd pair of provisions. The tread on the 8's seems to have worn out quick, less than 100 miles on them. Fit and comfort is amazing, but need better tread.

These are my 11th pair of altras. I loved the Torin 4, they then made radical changes. I bounced around then landed on the Rivers. But the third edition was different from earlier versions and made the switch to the provision. Loved the 6th and the 7th was better. I couldn't wait to try the 8th when I needed a new pair. I have worn them now for over a month and I am started to have the some of the same issues that I had with the Rivers 3. My toes hurt after a run. I also noted a change to the heel fit. This is the first time I had the issue of my heel lifting out of the shoe. I locked my laces which helped but the feel of the shoe is not the same. I never had this issue in 25 years of running. I went back to the provision 7 and waiting for the 9 to see if it is fixed. If not, I am going back to Asics. It is a shame because I love the zero drop and foot shape shoes. Why do they mess with what works?

Been an Altra wearer for a decade but this is the second time I've had shoes that were off their usual sizing by about a half a size. Disappointing.

I returned the shoes on 12/8 and still did not get a refund. The shoes are absolutely massive and do not fit true to the size. That was the second pair I bought and had to return.

Followed the "zero-drop" fad, horrible mistake.I ran a 1.2 mile jog in them. Next day, woke up to INSANE pain in my right heel.I now have insertional Achilles tendonitis.These shoes have crippled me!
