Men's Altra Footwear Provision 3.5 Running Shoe Black 10 D

When I first tried these on, my initial impression was that they felt a little shorter than what I was used to in a running shoe and slightly wider, coming from the Brooks Ghost. I decided to give them a shot, due to Altra's return policy. I'm glad I tried them! These shoes are amazingly comfortable once you get used to the wider toe box. I have about 50 miles on them and they get more and more comfortable with every run. I haven't had a single blister either. I used to get blisters in my Brooks, mostly the outside of my pinky toes. It turns out the feeling of a shorter length was not an issue.

I have been a soldier for 16 years and have dealt with serious pain from stress fractures to lower back pain-all from running. After talking to a friend about it he recommended these shoes due to their zero drop and guard rail technologies. All I can say is that I am amazed and am a customer for life. I ran 3 miles today without an ounce of pain, and I haven't done that in years. I am an over-pronator and these shoes make my foot strike feel solid and comfortable. Thanks Altra, you've made running painless and enjoyable again!
