Great kicks for workouts
I love these new kicks manufactured with the highest quality materials and plenty of room in the toolbox for my feet. My feet are on the flatter side. They have had plenty of comfort, traction, and have been terrific so far supporting my feet on long runs or on the treadmill. The only shortcoming is that the tongue Narrows a tad towards the toe box but this does not compromise the quality of the shoe. It is holding up well, looks great and it's perfect for my multipurpose need when I work out.

My husband loves them!
I have been wearing barefoot shoes for years now, and have been slowly converting my husband to them. He likes to run and kept complaining about his barefoot shoes having too thin of a sole so the rocks would hurt his feet. These shoes are the perfect in between shoe, being zero drop with a wide toe box but still having enough sole to cushion his feet. They seem to be of great quality, although we haven’t had them long enough to know for sure.

Hopefully isolated incident!! Update
I love the shoes, they fit great and look good and are very comfortable. I wore these shoes 1 day after I got them and did a HIIT workout, lower body with sled pushes, box jumps and a lot of squats. The sole of the right shoe had started to separate from the shoe about halfway (25 min) into the workout. I contacted Altra customer service only to be told we are sorry they didn’t workout and I could return them ( as if that was new information). I contacted them before I wrote this review and I let them know I wanted to talk to them before I write the review. Other than that I love the shoe as I know many people at my gym that have them and love them with no issues. I received these shoes 30 Mar 2025 and worked out in them 31 March 2025. Update!!!!! July 2025. I decided to give them another try because I love the style and fit. I will see how it goes when I workout in them.

You can’t find a more comfortable sneaker
They are very comfortable. I love the wide toe box and how these lace up.

Best Pair of Breathable Altras Out There
Just got 'em and I love them. They fit perfect and are comfortable out of the box. They are super light like most of Altra's offerings but they certainly don't feel cheap. Great footbed and wide toe box. Time will tell how they hold up. They don't have a vulcanized rubber toe wrap that is known to start peeling up. Instead, they are extremely breathable and I will likely try an avoid standing water. No worries, I was looking for a comfortable, breathable summer shoe, and these fit the bill perfectly. So far, these are my favorite, non-waterproof Altras.

Tennis Player - Solid Shoe
When I first played tennis in the Altra XT 1, I moved better than I ever had before. The ability to feel the ground through my feet was unparalleled in that shoe, and it was so light I felt like I was floating. The XT2 came next, and it was alright. It was heavier and clunkier than the XT 1, but also more durable, which was a reasonable trade-off for a sport played on concrete. The XT2 was still lighter and swifter than all the other tennis shoes on the market, which was great.The XT 3 is heavier and thicker still. With each generation, connection to the ground is getting slightly worse, and the shoe resembles other market shoes more and more.However, it’s still a good shoe.Critically, all generations of Altra XT, including the XT3, have allowed me to play with my toe spacers in. I've dealt with toe and heel issues in the past, and playing in Altras with toes pacers has completely healed them. My toes feel absolutely nothing anymore, and my heels and plantar fascia are completely healthy as well. I can easily slide on clay, and the shoes allow sliding on hard-court, I just don't because I don't trust myself. In fact, the slightly bulkier, thicker XT3’s are the best hard-court sliding shoes of the entire line.Durability with the XT 3 is similar to the XT 2, perhaps marginally better. Like with every tennis shoe, the right toe-box is the first to go, but these lasted at least a few months before that happened. Realistically, they aren’t going to last more than 2 months if you’re playing 8+ hours/week, but unfortunately that’s just par for the course.Sizing wise, I dropped down from 11 to 10.5 with these. I actually think these have a slightly better natural foot shape than the XT2, which is why my feet feel better fit dropping down to 10.5.4 stars. Would be 5 stars if they had a more flexible sole, were lighter, or lasted 3+ months instead of 1-2 depending on play intensity.
