Review on ALTRA AL0A4VQJ Provision Running Shoe in Vibrant Orange by Tim Woods

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good, but not perfect

I wore these shoes for about a year. I ran maybe 10 miles a week and walked about 5 miles a week which is about 500 and 250 miles respectively. PROS: They fit great. Lots of room in the toe area. Good cushioning for a zero drop shoe if that's what you're into. CONS: They are expensive. They wear out too quickly for a $140 shoe. Most of the time I've spent in these shoes was recovering from a bad knee injury, so I haven't run marathons in them. After about 9 months the right shoe has been making a weird squeaking sound and it seems like it's stuck to the surface I'm walking on. When I inspect it there isn't a sticky spot, I'm not sure what's going on. As already mentioned, shoelaces are too short. Not sure what the issue is, I've compared the laces to other boots I have and they are actually shorter, the problem isn't that the shoe is wider. Overall I give it 4 stars because it does what it's supposed to. but the value for money is quite low.

Pros
  • The Zero Drop platform provides a natural stride and reduces stress on the joints, protecting them from stress injuries.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people with plantar fasciitis.
