Perfect!
I have been on the search for the world's most comfortable shoe and I think I have finally found it! I am a nurse who is on her feet for 12 hour shifts up to 60 hours a week. I have a tailors bunion on both feet which push my pinky toe into my fourth toe causing a soft corn on the inside of my pinky toe. It is literally the most painful thing I have ever experienced. The toe box on these shoes is a godsend. I can wiggle all of my toes and have plently of room even with compression socks. I purchased an 11 and they fit perfectly. I normally wear a 10.5W in NB, and Hoka. This shoe is light weight, perfectly cushioned with a nice responsive spring to help absorb shock, so you lumbar doesn't. I just ordered 3 more pair, because you cannot beat the price. Sorry Acsics, NB, Hoka, On, Brooks and all the other shoes that fill my closet. These are the ultimate winners!

Helped with my heel spur
I call these shoes my “pillow shoes” because that is what it feels like when I put them on. I can work a 12 hr shift on my feet and my feet won’t hurt. They especially helped when I had a minor heel spur, with the zero drop heal. I recommended these to my friend who has a heel spur . And I may even buy me a second pair .

Love them
UPDATE: while I love this brand, this edition has declined in quality. The arch side of the fabric was torn within a couple months of only running in them. The same complaint across multiple sites with this same shoe.This is my 4th pair of Altras. They’re the best running shoes I’ve found. No blisters & fun colors

Very nice - but didn't fit me
I got these at the recommendation of my physical therapist, for comfort with arthritis in my big toe. They are VERY straight and don't push in on my toes at all - great toe box. They're very well made, and the soles are comfortable. But for me, I had to return them... I have a very narrow heel, and no matter how I tied these, they were too big in my heel. Wish I could have kept them, they're very nice shoes!

Amazing shoe
Altra Women's shoes have truly transformed my running experience. The design of these shoes prioritizes comfort and performance, providing a supportive and natural fit for my feet. The zero-drop platform and wide toe box allow for a more natural foot movement, reducing the risk of injuries and promoting better balance. The cushioning and responsiveness of Altra shoes are outstanding, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stride with every step. The quality and durability of these shoes are also commendable, as they withstand rigorous training and maintain their performance over time. Overall, Altra Women's shoes have exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them to any female athlete looking for a superior running shoe.

Very poor quality. Both pair are falling apart in the same places with medium-minimal use
I would NOT recommend these, especially for the price. I like Altra shoes and the way they fit, however I bought 2 pairs of these and have only worn them a handful of times and they are coming apart.The fabric of the shoe along the sole, is splitting, where you can see the color of the inside insert through the outside of the shoe.Also, the thin rubber part of the sole that touches the pavement, that is attached to the foam, is pealing off near the toes. I don’t even drag my toes.This has happened on BOTH pairs, and i use them as walking shoes; I don’t even run.It’s a huge disappointment to spend so much money on a pair of good running shoes… and they don’t even stand up to walking. I’ll upload a photo later, as I am not home right now

Love the shoes but they don't last
The cushioned sole and wider toe box make these the most comfortable athletic shoe I've ever worn. I love them. If the colors were a little more mainstream I'd have more than 4 pairs.UPDATED: The quality is very poor. I purchased on 3/7/23. I noticed 11/16/23 the material has split in several places on the side of both shoes. I switch wearing these with 4 other pairs, so they don't get frequent or hard wear.
