Customer Reviews Altra Experience Form

Use for every day use. Love the toe box room & shoe durability. Wish there was more arch support.

I just trained and ran a 10k in these and zero pain in my feet. Super comfortable, toe box is spacious, fabric is strong for someone who has a slipping heel. Breathable and just enough cushion. Extremely happy with these!

I just relocated back from 20 years in Colorado (see many mountain trails and parks) to Cambridge, MA (see many roads and bricks - yikes!)....I'm not normally a 'squishy' shoe person at all. I tend to a low drop and I like to feel what is beneath me. My only other Altras are a pair of Lone Peaks, which I love and were great in CO. I tried these Women's Experience Form with a 4mm drop (also love that drop for these surfaces) as a my first Altra road shoe to adapt to old city streets and brick sidewalks. I LOVE THEM! It's good squish, not too much squish, roomy but stable, etc. I am very happy with this purchase, thank you!!

Best shoes I've ever owned. This is my second pair (1st were paradigms). Love both. Wish there were more modern colors. That being said I will buy again even if colors are lacking. -PE teacher & coach

Feels slightly more narrow than the Escalante but I still really like this shoe. It's very comfortable and offers gentle support.

I absolutely love these shoes. I've always struggled with arch support and these really did the trick! I've been using them for my xc season and I have 0 complaints.

First, I'm 68 yrs old. I've enjoyed my Provision 7 but wanted something more supportive for a two week trip abroad. These were my only shoes (packing light). They were so comfortable on cobblestone and trails!!! Even walked on a glacier in them! Best shoes I've ever worn!

I have ordered Torrins in size 8, but in this shoe, I felt like Cinderella. Currently awaiting the 8.5 and absolutely can't wait because the shoes felt like a dream (even though they were small). Can't wait to run & train in these!

The cushy craze is not normally my thing because I feel like I'm falling off of the sides, but I love my Escalantes so much I thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did! Cushioning is just the right amount of comfort and offers enough feeling of contact with the ground that I need to feel stable. Hope they stay in rotation!

As someone who healed her plantar fasciitis with daily foot stretching and wearing THESE amazing shoes, I'm a convert. Please don't mess with a good thing. Roomy toe box and perfect heal toe drop!

I got these shoes because after ankle surgery and months of recovery, I could only walk about 20 minutes without pain using other shoes. I bought these because my foot is still swollen and these shoes have a large toe box. Within a week, I was walking 45+ minutes at a time. I'm delighted with the comfort of these shoes. I bought a half size bigger than my normal walking shoes which currently are too tight. I will definitely buy Altra shoes again.

These are my all time favorite shoes!! They have helped my feet with plantar fasciitis. I walk a lot and spend hundreds on shoes that I thought would help but these were the only ones that worked the best

This shoe was recommended to me by a foot and ankle specialist because of mortons neuroma and some toe problems. These shoes are like walking on clouds! I love them and don't even use my orthotics in them. I should, but my feet are so happy without having them, I'll wait and see. Prior to these shoes other other sneakers were also recommended by a different podiatrist and they were fine but had to have inserts and wear toe separators and tubes...well that was a pain so I am happy I discovered my Forms.

I have several different styles of Altras for different purposes. These are the "Goldilocks"- generous toe box, mid foot is secure but not too snug and best is the shoe feels supportive and not too cushioned. I have high arches and have no problem with this shoe. Will be buying more for certain. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes but went up to an 8 and the fit is perfect!

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable and are true to size. The laces stay tied & they are lightweight. I love the way they cushion my impact when running.

I love these sneakers. The fit is perfect and they are so comfortable. I've already worn them everyday since receiving. I would definitely recommend and purchase

These shoes are so comfortable. I work standing all day & walking a ton so they get the job done. At the end of the day my feet aren't sore and the fit of the shoe is perfect. I thought they were going to be to narrow!

Love these sneakers. They are very comfortable with a lot of room for your toes and padding around the ankle. I wasn't too sure if it was too much, but the padding gives extra comfort. The overall design has a lot of shock absorption, very cushy and you can still feel the ground.

These are the most comfortable running shoe I've ever tried. They are incredibly light weight and they do feel natural on your feet. It didn't even feel like I had to break them in, they just felt great from the first wear. I like that they are a bit roomier in the toe area as I hate when my toes get squished together

It is extremely difficult to find Altras within 30 miles of my home, even the running stores carry few if any styles. So I have to order online and try at home. This shoe I ordered up a half size and find the fit is excellent. This is a Goldilocks shoe, wide toe box,, mid shoe fits well, not too loose or too tight in heel. Cushioning is perfect, not too squishy and very comfortable to walk in. My complaint is that the 30 day return is not much help if I can't run in them to be sure they are what I need. Yes I have a treadmill but that does not compare to road running. They can't be returned if they aren't pristine. So I am forced to either order 2 sizes or exchange and hope the next size fits well. Of all the Alta's I have ( escalante 4, via Olympus, and Rivera 3, )the Form is the best fit yet.

This is the most comfortable sneaker I have ever had. No need to break them in. The arch support is amazing and my feet were comfortable all day. I've never had a shoe that fit my foot so well. They are also cute and stylish.
