Oh my freakin' gawd, these are GREAT shoes!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have run a hundred miles in these shoes, 30 on trails (using the removable stone guards, which are a life saver, or should I say foot saver), they haven't bottomed out. My first run was a 5 mile run, no blisters, and no discomfort whatsoever. They remind me of Saucony, when Saucony was good and made in Bangor, Maine!!!!! The Superior 2.0s have a great wide toe box and narrow heal. They are light weight and provide excellent cushioning throughout the forefoot. They run a tad small. I normally wear a 6, ordered a 6.5, they are perfect. No regrets. Please Altra people, keep making your shoes with wide roomy toe boxes. My feet thank you, and I thank you. I would pay more for these shoes if they were made in the USA.

Exactly what I was looking for

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have about 6 weeks and 30 miles in on these and I love them, about to buy another pair since I'll be out of the country soon. I was wearing a low-drop pair of Montrails (size 6.5 also) for a few years and tried to find something similar. These are zero-drop, so they did take about 4 runs of sore calf muscles to get used to, but I am very happy with them. They're light and great for my wide feet (my pinky toes always ended up forming holes in the sides of my Montrails) and the tread more than keeps up with the single track trails I run on. The tread isn't too aggressive for a road run though, feels perfectly fine. They slip a bit in the heel area, but I think that problem will go away if I lace them through all the holes at the top, like they were when I got them, and they haven't caused any blisters.

Great shoes! Early review

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am new to running in zero-drop or minimalist trail shoes so I will add to this review after about three weeks, but for now, I am very happy with these shoes. I thought my previous shoes had a wide toe box but my toes kept going numb when I ran- I don't imagine that will happen with these shoes! The toe box is very roomy- I can splay my toes out in the shoe and this is very helpful for stability on the trail. The instep is snug like a glove and the heel is narrow- my foot does not slide around in these shoes and I do not require a special method of typing my laces. The laces are also a breath of fresh air- real laces instead of annoying and difficult to adjust bungee cord laces. There is minimal cushioning in this shoe but it comes with a rock plate to keep rocks from bruising your feet- you can keep it in or take it out as you need it. The tread is great- the trails I run on aren't too technical but do contain soft dirt, hard pack, gravel, mud and hills, and I have had no slippage on any of the terrain. So far, the only thing I don't like about these shoes is the color- I'm not a fan of lavender. But so far, the shoes are well worth it- they will be too dirty to see the color in just a couple of runs anyway.

I love these shoes and was able to walk more comfortably in them due to some issues I have with my feet. HOWEVER, they literally fell apart in less than 3 months. I am hoping this is not true of the whole brand.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Very sad it was too small because it a really beautifully made shoe, and I was so keen to get out on the trails. Bit of background I usually buy a men's 10.5 -11 US because I like room and space in the toe box despite being normally a size 10.5-11 in women sandals. I cant ever were a women sneaker as they are just too tight and very uncomfortable. I was super excited to finally find a shoe designed for women with a larger toe box area so I followed the rules of their shoes fit size to see if I could finally buy a women size shoe not the men. The size chart said I was a US 10. I also and added on an extra size just to be safe because previous reviews said they fit small so I bought a size up being the ladies 11. Well a size up was not big enough for the my right foot which is slightly larger than the left. The left just fit comfortable with 3 mm to spare in the toe area (I would never buy a shoe with 3mm to spare because my feet move and swell during long runs) and the right toe was up to the front touching.

I would also like to point out these shoes are quite slim for the medium width shoe, I was surprised they were not wider despite them saying they had a wide toe box. The slim ankle was good but I think all over the shoe is too slim. I am 178 cm tall and athletic body type and I liked to say I have pretty normal feet maybe a little wider and longer because of my height.

So now I have followed their size rules chart and didn't find success I will return these and try the men's shoe 10.5 and hopefully get a better result . The men's shoes looks much wider overall, and I do like the colors better too!

Great for backpacking and hiking

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am compelled to review these as a non-runner. I bought these for backpacking because they were lighter weight than hiking shoes, but still have sufficient protection from rocks and potential snake bites on my feet. The reviews suggested sizing up. I wear a solid 7 1/2 and purchased a size 8. For short backpacking trips and day hikes, this is the perfect size. The shoes are comfortable and provide just enough stability to tackle rough terrain without watching my step. If I were thru-hiking or expecting my feet to swell, a half size up would be sufficient for me.

The shoes are really lightweight, which is what I like for hiking. I don't like to feel like I'm wearing weights on my feet! And I absolutely LOVE that these have a gaiter trap; I otherwise have to add Velcro to my shoes to affix my gaiters. Great pair of shoes if you want a nice close-to-ground feel for hiking.

Favorite trail shoe

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Sizewise, the fit was as expected, but compared to the Altra One 2.5, the toe area was not as loose as. I'd gotten used to the freedom my toes experience with the Altra One 2.5 and love it, but I wanted a trail shoe for winter. Though I wish the toe area was baggier, I do love the foot shaped shoe, and I love the way the soles of the shoes grip our snow covered roads. Also, I appreciate the fact that the soles of the Superior trail shoes do not pick up rocks on gravel surfaces the way the Altra One 2.5s do.

This shoe is great, but I only have the right size because another person told me they fit small so I knew to order a larger size. That info should be right in the description like I have seen in other ads, like for Shoes for the Sole...

DPD = mangelte Infrastruktur

Reviewed in Germany on September 11, 2017

Der Schuh war deutlich zu klein, obwohl in der richtigen Größe geliefert. Kann ja mal vorkommen, dass die Produkte abweichen.
Aber wirklich extrem ärgerlich war, dass die Schuhe mit DPD geliefert wurden. Annahmestellen sind bei uns auf dem Land aber extrem dünn gesäht! so bin ich in die 12 km entfernte Nachbarstadt (Velten) gefahren. Das war die nächste Möglichkeit. Als Berufstätige war das ein Samstagvormittag. Aber die Annahmestelle war geschlossen, so dass ich weiter in die nächste Stadt (Hennigsdorf, von uns 18mk entfernt) fahren mußte. Die erste Annahmestelle dort hatte ebenfalls Samstagvormittag geschlossen! Letztlich bin ich die zu kleinen Schuhe dann doch noch in einem Anglergeschäft losgeworden. Fazit: 36km gefahren, 1 Stunde kostbare Zeit verplempert!!!
Ich werde nie mehr etwas bestellen, das über DPD geliefert wird!!!!
