ALTRA AL0A4VQJ Provision Running Shoe in Vibrant Orange Review

In the first step, your stride becomes correct and you walk or run with the biomechanically correct landing and toe lift as nature intended. These are the only shoes I will buy. Forget the impressive big names about stilettos based on the belief that ridiculous heel cushioning means "better". You are not. If you like Shin Splints, buy one of the others. Buy them if you want to experience the fact that zero-drop cushioning shoes bring functionality, not function, to your workout.

I've been using Altra for several years and have never had any foot or knee problems. However, these Paradigm shoes have some sort of adjustable lace support and I've had knee or ankle pain on a couple of runs. Every time I unlace it's impossible to know what "setup" I have on for the assist and it's only after a few miles that I start to feel pain. Otherwise, fit and cushioning are as expected from the Altra, which is excellent.

Have used Altra shoes for years. After 3 walks in these shoes the rubber started to fall off and fall off on the outside. Altra explained that unfortunately this is now considered normal wear and tear on their shoes. Comfortable shoe but for the price I expect it to last longer.

This shoe is light and comfortable. The length was perfect but it was narrower than he needed. It wasn't uncomfortable in width, but it didn't support both outer edges of the sole. Finding a size 14 wide was not easy.

Now I have several pairs of Provision 5. Comfortable, stable, cool, durable. I can't say enough good things about these shoes - I love them.

Son increiblemente comodos y mejoraron las correas de soporte que en la version anterior eran 3 y desalineaban levemente el pie dentro del zapato

Despite a rating of 10.5, the shoes were at least half a size too small. In addition, the ankle height is lower than comparable shoes.

I overpronate my foot and have been very happy with the Provision 3.5 for several years. The Provision 5 is a completely different shoe, it has more cushioning but allows my feet to sink in like a normal running shoe. There's also slightly less vertical toe room. return due to pronation.

Make a deal for a new pair of alts. I checked them out at the factory in Lehi, Utah, and they were only $10 more than new. As other reviews have noted, heel slippage is an issue due to the thicker tongue and heel, but the running loop easily fixed the issue. Super comfortable on those long slow recovery runs.

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…

All the usual benefits of Altra shoes without the drop and shape. The insoles have a massage effect, which is nice. I wish they were a little cheaper but you get what you pay for. More comfortable than TORO which I used to buy.

Unfortunately not as wide as my old age. They feel great, but I wish they could figure out how to look less like a shabby version of dad sneakers.

My husband loves these shoes but has changed 2 pairs in less than a year. They are too expensive to be damaged beyond repair within 5 months of purchase.

Decided to buy these after using Asics and Nike for road running for over 10 years. Alta shoes are more stylish, comfortable and affordable.

Innovative design. supports as described. Only used a few times since purchase but already feeling better during and after short runs (3-7 miles). I would recommend these shoes.

The shoes meet my expectations except I am not sure if they are new. They weren't even in the box. Maybe a refund or something. Disappointing.

If only they had a little more softness and arch support, they would be the perfect shoe for me! I like the wide toe box and for a normal foot they probably have enough cushioning but with my foot issues a little more would be ideal. Don't get me wrong... It's still a very comfortable shoe and in the future I might go for the Altra!

I have very bad legs from rheumatoid arthritis. Most of the shoes I have to buy are too big and too wide. But because of the shape I was able to buy the right size. I can walk much more safely. I bought custom shoes and they didn't fit me. So for $100 this is my ideal solution. Buy 2 pairs in case they stop making them. Some people won't like the shape. Very different from most. But I like to wear clothes that are the right size.

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

As many have said, the toe box is not as wide as the older versions of Altra shoes. The double inner arch supports "tags" that dig into the foot when pulled out. The tongue falls to the side no matter how you lace and tie it. Not as much a fan of theirs as the latest Altra shoes.
