How does this fit compared to the one?

Haven't tried to one, but it is narrow / small compared to every other altra shoe I've tried. I would order a half size up.

Thanks for the post! I was about to order them just now! I might wait then. I might try the Nike LT streak then.

well.. dang.

Appreciate the feed back; I still may take the plunge and order 1/2 size up as you suggest.

OP, Altra fan here- which current Altras did you do your size comparison with?

I have @ 9.5:

Torin 2.5- they fit perfect

Impulse- Upper is a little lose and may be a tad longer, but not enough to order half a size smaller

One 2.5- A little long, and tongue near the base bunches weird, could probably get a half size smaller

Merrell vapor glove is better

I'm glad a saw LRC first. wrote:

You'd be a dumb stupid moron not too.

Does the outsole look durable? I would try this shoe but the outsole looks like it is mostly EVA and that's not a good sign when it comes to durability.

Disappointing. I have already ordered a pair, so I will report back when they get here…

Which shoe?

#1 , #3, and maybe #2 sound like they can be resolved by getting a half or full size up. I never count on my usual size to fit on a model of shoe I haven't tried before.

I saw these they were intriguing, but i am averse to shoes with too much foam on the outsole, as they will get destroyed real quick and not handle so well in well conditions. I don't know what is it with the roads around here, but they tend to have a bunch of random crap on them and destroy any exposed foam.

Get the LT best shoe in the business for a lightweight flat.

Exactly, stupid of altra to put a thin upper with a spongy Crap EVA bottom.

Would've liked to see more hard rubber on such a shoe considered for top end speed and racing.

Man these are ugly.

Altra shoes suck

They're wide enough that you could park a cadillac escalade into them. Built for overweight hobby joggers who have no business running in the first place

Try the Escalante (or the Escalante Racer this summer) and report back.

As a Divison I runner who has been All-American and does all of his training in Altra shoes, I beg to differ. They're legit and they help with a lot of lower leg issues I've suffered from over the years

A former NCAA runner-up that lives in my in my area wears Altra. He can still break 16 in the 5k and run a mile in the 4:20s in his mid 30s.

Different strokes for different folks.
