Review on πŸƒ ALTRA Superior 4 Men's Trail Running Shoe by Justin Metz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like walking in socks, but with a train. Light and comfortable.

Compared to my Merrell Trail Gloves, which I really liked, these shoes feel lighter and more comfortable on a flat, wide foot. The materials of the foot cover, toe protection and midsole are lighter and therefore more comfortable than cushioned socks, but the protection is also light. I use without stone protection inserts as I ride mostly unpaved trails with soft rocks and roots. I feel the ground beneath my feet, and only some of the larger, more jagged rocks are uncomfortable. If I lived in a rocky area I would probably want a rock shelter. The big question is durability. Hopefully with all these lightweight materials they don't wear out too quickly. I only have a few short runs in it but I really like the way my toes spread and feel. The most comfortable shoes I've ever tried (3 different Merrell Trail and Innov8 Roclite gloves). At this point I'll try to order another pair if I see a deal, so I'm not short.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Appearance
