Great fit and comfort!

Extremely comfy! I wear a size 10.5 in Nike, 10 in Adidas. Got this as a size 10 and it fits great! Lightweight and has nice support. Would recommend this brand to others!

Super comfortable and improved from last version

I love these shoes! They're my second pair and this version is better than last year's. Ever so slightly narrower in the toe box. Still wider than. your average running shoe, but looks less like a clown shoe.

Most comfortable shoe ever

I have a straight, narrow foot. Even though the foot shape of this shoe is still more curved than my foot, it's the best fitting and most comfortable shoe I've ever had on my foot. I can't wait to go for my daily walk, and I don't like taking them off when I get home!One thing to be aware of is that I have a lightweight body, and these shoes feel very cushioned. If your body is heavier, these shoes might feel too soft.

Slim fit is too narrow for me, and I don't have especially wide feet

I've owned Altra shoes in Original (widest) and Standard fit and have found both to be comfortable, and have enjoyed them. Various online reviewers commented that the Rivera 4, while a Slim fit, would still feel roomy for most people. I do not have especially wide feet, so I wanted to give them a try, since they got positive reviews. I really like the shoe, and wish it were a Standard fit at least. For me the difference between Original and Standard is not that much, so I expected only a similar difference between Standard and Slim. But to me the difference is greater than that between Original and Standard. Otherwise, it would be a great shoe for me.

Back to an Old Friend

I love these running shoes. This style was my first two pair of wide toe-low drop- Altra's. I moved on to the Escalantes for a few pairs because the Riveria's (earlier versions) were great but did not last long. This version is the old friend I loved with great traction and more durability. Thanks Altra for continuing to improve these shoes.

Too tight

My size 9.5 was too tight in the toe box. The space from top to bottom was just too tight. The tops of my toes rubbed against the top of the shoe. I had to cut a large hole in the top of one shoe. Eventually I threw these away. Very disappointed.

Fully Positive Recommendation

The Altra shoes are extremely comfortable. I don’t use them for running, just walking and everyday use. Even better is the wide selection of colors and design (e.g., trail, road, etc.). Most of my Altras are colorful, but I had to have a white pair also.
