I'm a Rivera guy now

I've run in the Torin 4.5 and Escalante 2.0 and 2.5 and have enjoyed each of these shoes but always found something lacking or that didn't quite work for me. The Rivera, for me, really combines the best of the Escalante with some Torin qualities to make a killer shoe. The toe box is narrower than these other shoes, as others have described. But, I actually experience less rubbing in these shoes for some reason than with the Torin 4.5, so I am preferring the slightly narrower toe box. The Ego midsole retains that bouncy quality from the Escalante but the extra 2mm stack reduces the harshness of the Escalante, making these more fun for longer runs. The upper is very breathable and extremely comfortable. There's nothing overtly flashy about the Rivera upper, but its simplicity is its strength. It disappears on my foot, and that's about the most I can ask for from a shoe upper. I also weighed my Rivera against my Escalante 2.5. I was surprised that the Rivera was around 0.4 oz lighter than my Escalante (both size 7). Finally, the Rivera hits the sweet spot for me in terms of flexibility and stability. My foot always feels secure in the shoe, unlike the Escalante, but retains much of the Escalante's flexibility. All in all, this is the road shoe I had hoped Altra would make and my shoe of choice for my marathon training.

I Love This Shoe

I'm an Altra runner for more than 7 years and have enjoyed a number of different shoes or theirs. This is first time I've endorsed a shoe from Altra. Fit is narrower, different last, which works for my feet, but very comfortable. I'm so into this shoe, I've purchased 2 more pairs, something I've never done. I also wear a pair at work, as I'm on my feet all day. Try them, I think they'll work for a lot of Altra users.

Best Altra shoe for people with skinny feet

I have run about 60 miles in these shoes and have had the escalates and the viho to compare it to. With previous models my big toe has been near the middle of the shoe and I have gotten blisters from swimming around in the oversized toebox with my bony feet. I still rated all of them five stars because I love Altra's and understand that my feet are not the same as others. This shoe is exactly my foot shape and has much better lockdown than any other shoe but still had room for my toes to splay. The midsole on this model also just feels much faster than the escalante and more comfortable while still being responsive. Thank you Altra for branching out and trying new foot shapes.
