Altra AFW1923G Womens Kayenta Running Women's Shoes Review

On a run these shoes bent on the heels and caused blisters. I wore a lot of minimalist shoes and hoped that ALTRA (imagine it actually being a "foot-shaped" shoe manufacturer) would be the best of all worlds. But this shoe has no structure! In fact, it's just a fabric sewn to the sole. As such, it flexes in the heel and tends to look sloppy. Altra used to make nice, lightweight yet durable zero-lift road shoes, but then they narrowed down the design (so much for the shape of the foot). The…

I like these shoes. These are the BEST running shoes I have ever owned. I run 5km road/walkway/trail about 5 times a week as regular exercise. This shoe fits my feet perfectly - like a glove. The wide toe box is amazing and hugs the heel perfectly. I usually wear a size 7 in all shoes, but in Altra I wear a size 6.5, otherwise they get too long. I still have a pair of alts. The only problem with these shoes - and this is pretty silly - is that they are very difficult to put on. My leg can…

This is my second pair of Altra trainers and I am thrilled to be able to get them from Revain at an amazing price. I love the beautiful cobalt blue color, the almost zero gravity, the comfort and how it suits my oddly deformed legs. I've had pesky Morton's neuroma for years, which has pretty much ruined my lifelong running habit. I also have the tallest arch my podiatrist has ever seen, along with nasty bunions and wide flintstone feet. As soon as I switched to minimalist shoes I've resumed…

Altra, what have you done?! After finding the Altra Solstice 3 years ago (after wearing the New Balance Minimus for about ten years but needing a bit of cushioning due to some hip issues) I swore I would never wear another shoe again. was forced to find a replacement. I have tried 3 different Altra shoes with no success. Kayenta was such a disappointment - as you can see from the photos, this shoe is about half a size smaller than her previous shoes (Solstice is highlighted in blue in the…

I ordered a half size larger than usual judging by tons of reviews online. I opened the box this afternoon, put them on and they were a little tight and a little long. but I left her for the rest of the day and kept running. they were wonderful! My previous shoes were lace-ups, no cushioning. They're nice and soft but durable at the same time, so I didn't have an ankle roll or anything like that. They literally saved half a minute from our 5k run! We don't train at all and try to shorten a 5k…

This is my call to Altra to never stop making these shoes. I need more color options. I run at least 100 km a month. These are shoes. Not a single sign of use. A bit mad that you always put good colors in every shoe for the boys. Make more color options and please DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE. Updated April 27, 2021. I have a 2nd pair. My legs have actually grown and my toes are spaced just right. I now stand in the correct posture and comfortably run a perfect marathon to zero with no blisters…
