Altra

Provision 7 Running Shoe - Men's

Super Comfy

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

10.5

I have purchased Altra running shoes in the past and have not been disappointed. These are no different and I’m very pleased. Wide toe box, good arch support, secure at the heel, light weight and true to size.

Not enough cushion

Used for walking. Initially they felt fine, however, after walking in them for several hours, my left heal developed a sore spot. The Torin 7 has better cushioning, and the Via Olympus 2 is turning out to be my best shoe for walking.

Very roomy and comfortable

I'm was already accustomed to wearing barefoot shoes such as Lems and Xero. I added these for walking and I wanted to start running. Only issue I had with shoes is one shoestring was a good bit longer than the other. I called in to the customer service and they pretty said they couldn't help me. They said they are all the same size but didn't offer to send a new pair. Anyways this is aggravating as one is right and the other drags the ground. Otherwise the shoes fit and feel great. Might could but a tad bit wider for me but much better than traditional shoes.

Great shoes. They improved my form.

I've used it several times

I love the fact that they are zero drop shoes with a wide toe box. Due to these features, running feels much more natural and healthier on my body. I used to be a heel striker and would constantly suffer from shin splints, but these shoes have actually helped correct this. They look really good on my feet too.

I recomend buying bigger size than Altra True Size Says.

I've enjoyed the shoes, but as I run farther, they bother me, and seem too tight. I called and Altra concurred, but I'm stuck with this pair.

Amazing best shoes ever

Tried so many different pairs famous too expensive brand name- most comfortable toe box ever! Beside my feet not feeling achy end of the day My knees and back is much better

Yes buy again, BUT beware of product quality control probs

I use Provisions daily for work and trail running and hiking. Very comfortable. BUT... Altra has a quality control problem in its production line which the need to effectively address. The soles come unglued. I have 7 pairs of Provisions, and all but 2 have developed problems with the soles within 2 months of use.

Love 'em

I love everything about these shoes except I wish they were in the original Altra width! There are so many shoes out there that are for regular or slightly wide feet, please make more in your original width!

I like Altra's, but I would not purchase this shoe again

Maybe the newer versions is better, but not a fan. I will stick to the Altra men's TORIN 7, best shoe on the market

My favorite pair!

I am a female who ordered the men's shoe to provide extra wiggle room for my toes. I ordered my usual size in men's (9) as I wear an 11 in women's. They were too small and I had to exchange them for a men's size 10. Perfect fit now! I love the arch support anf cushioning in these! They were comfortable out of the box with no break-in period. I wear these daily to work, but for outings where I'll be walking for several hours, I prefer the extra plush cushioning of my AltraFWDs. Note that I suffer from plantar fasciitis and that is the reason for my preference of the extra cushioning for long days on my feet. I would buy the Provision 7 again.
