“it's early days but I instantly like these. I am a petite runner and need a lightweight performance shoes for my gait and physiology. I have metal work in my lumbar spine from a spinal fusion so efficiency with cushioning is key. These instantly feel like I'm wearing slippers, the roomy toe box suits my mangled feet (due to poor biomechanics in my past). The are super comfy and fast shoes. So good I ordered another pair within a couple of days in case I struggle to find them again. I am a 5.5 and they fit fine maybe even slightly loose but that is how I like my shoe. Excellent service too from the Northern Runner Team who dealt with a query within minutes. As I live on a fairly remote island I thought the delivery was very speedy too. I'll definitely shop from here again. Thank you!”
“I have only started running recently and was struggling with shin splints, cramp in arches of feet and general discomfort. After reading reviews about Altra trainers thought them worth a try and now I am a complete convert. Initially I was put off by the appearance but they are so much more comfortable and I have found the longer distances easier since buying my 1st pair. I now have 3 pairs and use them for both running and the gym. Expensive but definitely worth it”
“Brilliant! Felt like they had been custom made for my feet. Making sure I transition gradually into this new natural style of running. Previously a real heel striker in my Asics shoes. Hence the change of style.”
“This is my second pair as I was extremely happy with this product. They are very light, really flexible (important as I am a forefoot runner) and like other Altra shoes they have a roomy toe box. This make are ideal if you have wider feet. They allow you too feel the ground so if you need cushioning these are not for you!”
