Review on Conquer the Outdoors with ALTRA ALM1963P Wahweap Running Shoes by Steve Douglas

I was hoping that the Wahweap would make a good minimalist/technical hiking shoe. I tried them on and decided to return them. The length was a good fit. I run a size 11 in other Altra shoes and the Wahweap delivers a comparable longitudinal fit. They are narrower than I expected but may be suitable for technical shoes; After all, you don't want your foot twisting/rolling in your shoes on a steep slope. The main reason I returned them was that the soles were very hard; When new, they have almost no earth feel. They may break in over time to provide that feedback, but I've chosen not to take any chances that they'll just stay tough over time.
