Review on ALTRA AL0A4VQJ Provision Running Shoe in Vibrant Orange by Karl Swift

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor design and build quality for Altra

I've been wearing them as a casual shoe for about 2 months and the profile is already coming off at the bottom. I still have a few pairs of Altra running and trail running shoes and they all fit great and last really well. I am very disappointed with the workmanship of the Provision 5. In addition to the poor workmanship, the tongue is too narrow and slips to the side after more than 5 minutes of running. It was a little irritation at first, but it caused pressure points in my blood vessels, resulting in ischemic pain and difficulty walking more than once. Considering the cost of this shoe and my previous experience with Altra, I expected more and I'm sorry to say that this will heavily influence my decision to ever buy this brand again.

Pros
  • The most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn.
Cons
  • The price may be too high for some consumers
