I use these for my daily here in the often wet PNW. I'm not a runner, but have had some foot issues that require a plush cushion and little to no drop. I needed something waterproof and these are amazing!

Perfect it's comfortable yet supportive and sturdy and I cannot stop wearing them.

I live in Alaska, and its wet--almost every day, either from dew or rain, and its muddy. I am very hard on these shoes, and they have held up incredibly well after months of abuse. I do wax them also.

My first pair of Altra's and I, (along with my feet), could not be any happier. About 50 miles in on this pair, ZERO complaints. Definitely buying a fresh pair before my AT attempt next year. 10/10!

The width is great, allows my foot to move without cramping. This is important to mitigate pain that can develop in my metatarsal area. This still allows me to lock down my foot comfortably with maximum support including the heal. Highly recommended.

by far the most heavy duty dry comfortable working shoe that I am so comfortable to spend 4 to 8 hours walking 4 to 8 miles a day in these shoes for work chasing little golf balls for hackers

While the shoe construction is very solid and true to fit, I found the shoe inner height a little too high and loose fitting. I used an old orthotic and placed the foam insole over top for a nice fit.

The shoe is supportive but not stiff. It doesn't slide on loose rocky surfaces. Wide toe box lets my toes spread.

Love these shoes. I can run on the beach and coastal trails without getting wet.

If you are new (like me) to zero/low drop shoes, be prepared for sore legs the first week as you stretch. So far I have hiked, paraglided, lounged, and done office work in these shoes. I don't even think about them, and at the end of the day my feel still feel great.

I wear these every day as a work shoe, and got the Gore-Tex for waterproof. I hate wet feet. Everything is great about these shoes...and highly recommend.

Just came back from completing the Tour Du Mont Blanc! A 100 mile hiking trek through the mountains of France, Italy and Switzerland. Super comfortable, no blisters and the water proof helped a ton through many water crossings. Definitely would recommend!

Most comfy shoes I've ever had. I really like the redesign from the Olympus 5 with improved durability. However, they squeak super bad on any surface or even just bending in my hands.

I am hoping these become more comfortable as I wear them more and break them in. Also hoping they loosen up and stretch a bit. So far have worn them on just hour-long walks and they feel just OK. Hoping they will be OK for longer treks.

I have a difficult time with my feet and have a bunion. It's nearly impossible to fine wide waterproof shoes and these are! That being said the black looks like l should be working at a tire store or doing oil changes. They are for dog walking so I don't care but man are they ugly. I wish they were a little cushier like the well known brand that starts with an H, I do have a little metatarsal pain when wearing them. I have another pair of Altra that isn't waterproof and I am obsessed with those.

I like these shoes. Cushy just like the Olympus Trail Runners but waterproof. Only issue is the right shoe squeaks. It does it on all surfaces. Guess I'm not sneaking up on anyone .

I don't understand the trend of trail runners with GTX! GTX boots? Sure, makes sense. But ankle-height trail shoes with GTX break my brain a bit. Love the shoe's look, but GTX stops me from buying.

This is an excellent shoe with a wide toe box and thorough sole support. My only concern is that these shoes squeek...ALOT! Is there anyway this can be corrected?

This is a stiff boot with the top lopped off. After 50+ miles it's still stiffer than a pair of waterproof boots I have. It never became comfortable. Even the piece of fabric connecting the tongue to the side of the upper is stiff and needed break-in before it stopped digging into the top of my right foot. For context, I also wear Altra's Lone Peaks and Experience Flow. Both of those work great for me. Now for the positives. Because the upper is built like a tank, water doesn't get through. I would only recommend this if you don't want to wear a boot but still need a very tough upper.
