Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Altra AFM1953G Superior Trail Running Men's Shoes and Athletic: Performance and Comfort Combined by Ryan Barton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

20 miles in the first run, excellent.

So used to minimal shoes I love the Merrill Trail Glove for short to medium distances. I've wanted something for longer runs for a long time and a friend of mine mentioned that he tried the Altras and liked the zero height and wide toe box. I have quite a wide foot so I usually take a 9 to accommodate the width, although the length ends up being a bit longer. That's why I ordered 8.5 for them. Perfect length but I was concerned about the midfoot where the tongue connects. It was tight in there and I was afraid that on long runs it would be a pressure point if my foot started to swell. So today I put them on and took them on a 20 mile test run. All in all a great experience and no issues with the fit. No hot spots and the width didn't bother me at all. I look forward to more kilometers. Unless you're used to hitting them barefoot or with your forefoot, it's probably best not to take them 20 miles the first time. Happy running!

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
