The fit of these shoes were not terrible. They had good support and quality. I did return because they felt a little tight in the heels. My main complaint is their terrible customer service. I returned these shoes over 4 weeks ago and have not received a refund. It's been two weeks since I emailed customer care about it with no response and there's never anyone available on the chat services. I don't even know why they have it. It feels like I'm communicating with a ghost town and I'd just like my money back for these rather expensive shoes.

I just started trail running this past summer, so I am still very much a newbie. I started with a pair of Timp4's and loved how comfy they were out of the box, but did not love how quickly they fell apart on me. I used my warranty through Altra to get some Experience Wild's and I LOVE them. They are equally comfy, but (so far) seem far more durable. I also like the slight drop and extra cushion. They are lightweight, and I am thus far super happy with them. I wear a 7.5-8 in shoes and the 8 fits perfectly in these.

These are one of my favorite Altra shoes by far. I've not been a fan of Altra the last few years as I have noticed they veered from what works. These are incredible shoes. So comfy and all day wear.

I really like these shoes. I’m either going to buy another pair now and put it away for later, or try the Lone Peak.

I also love Hoka trail shoes.

So grateful for the Altra Wilds!!! I swore off zero drop after years f wearing them. When I heard Altra made a trail shoe with drop I was immediately intrigued. I love the Wilds so much I bought a 2nd pair. Love the room in the shoe & the grip on the trail is amazing. I ran 46 miles in my Wilds yesterday, no toe, knee, or hip issues. Love them!! 5 of my friends have also purchased Wilds on my recommendation

I purchased these shoes at my local store in mid-December. I have been wearing them practically ever since. All other shoes are in the closet. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. They were great in a bit of snowy weather we had while on Christmas holiday. I think I will go back and buy another pair! (I am not a runner, nor specifically a hiker, but I do walk quite a bit and require a comfortable, practical shoe...these are it!)

I have 12 pairs of Altras and I am always ready for more. This is my 1st pair of the Experience Wilds and I am in love. I will be buying this style again and again. My favorite style is the Timp.

I was finding my feet and back sore after walking and hiking in my trusty Merrells. These altras feel wonderful and have made hikes with my dog enjoyable again. I also wear them to work where I am on my feet a lot and they are great. I bought another pair of Altras, runners with the same 4mm heel rise, that I use for everyday walking. That heel to toe drop feels just right for my back. Plus I love the firm support, cushioning, roomy toes, and how lightweight they are.

I've worn Altras since they first came on the running scene. I owned the original Escalante, all the way to the Escalante 3 now 4. Same with the Lone Peaks. I normally wear an 8.5 in both the Escalante and the Lone Peak. As my feet have spread out, I now wear an 8.5 Wide in the Lone Peaks. I decided to go for a size 9 in the Experience Wild and boy am I glad I did. They fit perfectly.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka, Merrell, New Balance

FINALLY! It feels like Altra is back on track. Had my first run in these and I feel like I could go on forever. Proper support, less heel bulk and no rubbing. A huge winner! Please don't mess with these, Altra!!! I'm calling you out! These are perfect!

Best. Shoe. Ever. Recently got into trail running and purchased these. They were great out of the box and carried me across my first official finish line this weekend. Ordering again.

I bought for backpacking on the CT. I just finished a few segments, but was backpacking for four days. No hot spots or blisters, just comfort and grip. Laces stay tied without double-knots, I had ample toe room, and they were comfy all day on the trail. They gripped rocks and did well in the mud and on roots. I could not have been happier.

I've been using lone peaks for almost a decade, and these feel so much better for me. I am able to hop around on the trails so much more, and I'm already ordering another pair to add to the collection!

From the moment I took my first steps in these shoes I was in love. They're super supportive and feel like they're hugging in all the right places. I didn't realize they were trail shoes when I bought them but quickly noticed the grip and now I'm even more glad I got them. I'm also in my purple era so I looove the colors!

I like taking outdoor walks during my workbreaks so as someone who spends long hours in heels or ballet flats the Altra Women's Experience Wild shoes have been a lifesaver. They're incredibly comfortable with a roomy toe box that lets my toes spread naturally, which feels amazing after being in tight shoes. The cushioning is amazing and I felt like I was walking on clouds! There was a bit of an adjustment period, but now I can't imagine going back to less ergonomic walking shoes. If you're looking for a blend of comfort, support, and style I highly recommend giving these a try.

I have received this product for free in exchange of my review. Compared to other running shoes I've tried, Altras stand out with their unique combination of comfort and support. The spacious toe box and zero-drop design provide a natural running experience, reducing strain on my feet and legs. Owning a pair of Altra shoes comes with numerous benefits. They are incredibly lightweight and breathable, perfect for long runs and everyday wear.

These are very comfortable running shoes. I ran 3 miles in them and had no issues. They have good support and feel light. They are true to size. I wore them with thin no show socks. I would recommend them.

As an avid hiker, I'm always on the lookout for gear that performs well on tough trails, and the Experience Wild trail running shoe doesn't disappoint. It's impressively lightweight, making long runs feel easier, and the grip is fantastic, even on slippery or uneven terrain. The midsole is responsive and gives a great bounce with every step, while the MaxTrac outsole provides reliable traction and durability. I also appreciate the GaiterTrap which keeps debris out effectively, and the no-sew overlays that offer decent toe protection. With a 4mm drop and a rocker shape, the shoe promotes a natural and efficient stride. The roomy toe box and secure midfoot fit make it comfortable for longer runs. Whether you're tackling rolling hills or steep climbs, the Experience Wild is a solid choice for any trail runner.

I sometimes have issues with running shoes making my toes numb - even when they are the right size. I don't have wide feet, but I've found this to be an issue in most models from the bigger, trendier brands. This caused me to only wear running shoes when I absolutely had to. These Altra's are different. I can actually wiggle my toes! I have no numbness at all. I've been wearing these like crazy since I got them. I love the grippy sole and the darker colors - mine are dark blue/black. I did receive these on promo to test out but I can honestly say I would purchase them if these ever wear out. I'll recommend them too. Give them a try if you'd like to wiggle your toes in your running shoes!

I received a free pair of the Altra Women's Experience Wild trail runners in exchange for my honest review. I'm very glad I received them because I might not have otherwise picked Altra shoes to try. I like to run on rocky technical trails and the holy grail for me is a shoe with enough cushioning to keep my feet from hurting but enough sensitivity to feel the roots/rocks/whatever that might trip me up. When I first looked at this shoe, I thought it would have no sensitivity whatsoever but I was pleasantly surprised. The cushioning is the best feature of these shoes and I can't wait to do some longer runs in them. I can feel the ground really well but they also manage to feel both light and cushioned. I like the roomy toe box, which I'm hoping will stop my toes from going numb on longer runs (not tested yet). I also like the muted blue/grey color scheme of the pair I received because I'm not a fan of all the crazy loud colors on so many running shoes. My only nitpick would be the inward curved shape of the shoe -- when you look down at your feet, they seem to be pigeon-toed, which makes me keep trying to correct my gait. Not sure why the shoes are so curved but I can learn to ignore it since they are otherwise great in every way!

Really nice running shoes. Took my dog for a run in the woods behind our house for 30 minutes and no complaints. Normally new shoes hurt the first time breaking them in and they already felt like I've been wearing them a while. I would highly recommend!
