I tried every pair of Altras and the Provisions are by far the best! Please never change this shoe! But do please make better colors. A black upper with a brown gum sole would be amazing! Call me for guidance on shoe colors haha you guys have some of the worst colors in the running shoe market. Everyone I know hates 90% of the colors you guys make.

I have a couple of pairs and wear them almost daily. I do not use them for running (Experience Form) but stand for 8+ hours daily. Extremely comfortable. The black has blue tones (undesired).

I was able to enjoy walks without bunion-related pain flaring across the front of my foot.

I have a wide forefoot, and these are the first shoes I have found in years that fit well and offer good support.

I will FOREVER miss my Provision 3.5's but the 8 is the closest yet. Excellent balance of comfort, support, and road feel. Only complaint is the foam sole, just 225mi on these, but a 4.5 rounds up :)

I finally found shoes that fit my feet perfectly . . . Altra shoes. The wide toe box is just what I needed. I recently wore my new Altra shoes on a vacation trip to Europe that involved a lot of walking and hiking. My feet never bothered me in the least. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for shoes with a wide toe box.

my podiatrist said i had to get "indoor sneakers" because of a nerve problem in my foot (Morton's neuroma), and i have really wide feet so i decided to try this brand. (we don't wear outside shoes inside the house cuz NYC is gross.) they are the most comfortable sneakers i have ever owned. and even though they are altra's standard width not wide width, they are absolutely wide enough for me. i'm not a runner and i'm not wearing them outdoors, so i can't speak to how quickly they wear out with those uses, but i do wear them every day around my house and i love them. plus the yellow & orange just makes me so happy. i'm planning to get another pair so that i can have an outdoor pair!

I bought my first pair about a month ago I do a lot of walking and my feet feel great. I also suffer from chronic back pain and this pair of Altras helped elevate some of the pain.

First time trying the Altra stability line. So far so good. Will know more after wearing them for a while. Roomy toe box. Orthotics fit nicely. Secure fit, but not too tight. Medium cushion. Size seems to be the same as other brands. Don't notice that much difference in the cushioning between the Provision, Paradigm, and Experience. Being as this is my first pair of Altra, I can't compare to previous versions.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka, Brooks, Topo, On

I use this shoe as my daily walker. So nice having a foot shaped shoe to walk around in and one that provides support.

The Provisions have nailed it the last few rounds. 7 and 8 are perfect, don't change a thing. Although, maybe some non-white base options and more vibrant colors?

I use this in the gym, Hiit classes, road running and walking. Love the wide open toe feel and cushioned bottoms. Big fan.

Finally, you guys got it right. Aside from more colors, don't change a thing. I suggest adding a yellow pair. Also, I use these everyday in the warehouse I work at and my feet feel great.

I like that the shoes are narrow through the center. Really supports the arch of my feet. I'm a nurse and standing or walking all day and once these are settled to your feet, they're awesome!

These are great shoes for regular walking (3-5 miles/day) and have helped tremendously with an over pronation problem. The one drawback is the interior vertical seam at the heal. When this lets go, the shoe goes in the trash. For me, this occurs close to the end of life of the sole but they could otherwise still be used for yard work etc. Instant blister when it happens.

Great shoe, favorite in the lineup for road running. Rubber sole wears too quickly, wish Altra could beef up durability.

I wear more for walking than running. I need the wide toe box and these are the best fit I can find. Only complaint I have is the color they call "White/Blue" is not accurate. The liner is blue but the exterior has a definite green gray color, not blue to my eye.

Compared the Altra Provision with the Altra Paradigm. Paradigm did not fit well, so were returned. Gave the Provision a try. At first they felt ok, but the longer I wore them, they became less and less comfortable. I don't think I'm a fan of their zero drop. The Provision will be returned, too. While the design may work for some feet, they didn't work for mine.
I'd also recommend:
brooks, hoka, new balance, saucony, asics
