Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.

I have the high top version of this shoe, fits to size, fairly comfortable, feet sweat to death, not real happy. Definitely would not bully again. Fairly weathproof isn’t worth frozen feet at the end of the day because there they don’t breath. Also, not rated for more than an average guy with no pack, consider them a casual boot that you wear to work and get home to sweat soaked feet.
This is a great shoe for those who used to love the Salomon Ultra X shoe before the design was changed to incorporate the very uncomfortable elastic webbing over the tongue. The salesperson, Brandon, was super helpful and knowledgeable to help explain the benefits and changes of this shoe. He also suggested the use of locklaces to get rid of the flat laces so they would even more like the old better version of the Salomon X Ultra shoe.
Got these for a japan snow trip and they are perfect! Im a fan of the lone peaks so I knew the fit would be great and it was. If you want dedicated snow shoes id get something with more ankle coverage but if you want a multi use shoe these are great
So far so good. Shoes fit well and are comfortable with no break in period. Hopefully, they will be durable.
Great shoes. They’re light and grippy - they’ve been keeping me warm in sub freezing temps.
I should have switched to these years ago. The width and room in the toe box is great!
