ALTRA Women's Grafton: The Ultimate Women's Footwear for Active Lifestyles Review

I've been wearing Altras since Intuition was still in version 1.0 (and roughly by the way). I really wanted to like this shoe because it combines the Altra sockliner with something that doesn't scream "odd color sneakers". Although they are really small. I was 8.5 on most Altras and not only were these shoes too narrow for the size, they were also too short. size up.
