Customer Reviews Altra Experience Form

I liked how the shoe looked and really wanted it to work, but I had to return it. I have a hammer toe and bunions, and the toe area of these shoes was too low--the top of the shoes pressed on my toes. The stability feature (which is why I ordered them) seems to be a pad that sticks into the inside of the shoe on the sides by the heel. They were hard and uncomfortable. Overall, these are probably perfect for someone with problem-free feet, but I have several issues that made them not work for me.

I bought these as many reviews say they are similar to the way the Superior 4 used to be. Unfortunately, while they look amazing, and the toe box is wide and comfy, so are the heels. Even with the laces cranked down, my heel kept slipping out. I am absolutely gutted because Altra has been my go to brand for years but I am not sure they have anything that will work for my feet. I have a regular with ball of foot and very narrow heels.

Love the shoes. Fit great. But the shoe laces were different lengths so need to return.

I've been wearing these gradually for about 10 days. So far, I'm cautiously optimistic. I have a painful left foot with a collapsed arch, 2 hammertoes, and midfoot nerve pain while standing on any hard surface. I've spent 100s on custom orthotics without relief. I've been wearing very supportive shoes (New Balance, etc) and adding insoles to improve support and nothing helps. So, I'm hoping that this wide toe box and low heel to toe drop will provide relief. My toes are definitely happier! I do notice that when I consciously lean back into the heels, the nerve pain lessens. I'm hopeful that as my feet and posture become accustomed to this shoe, the pain will continue to improve. Fingers crossed.
