Altra Women's Provision 3.5 Running Shoe

I have overpronation issues and battle sore toenails after long runs so I have been looking for a running shoe that helps with both of these things. A friend who hikes long miles wears Altra shoes and told me to try them--I am hooked! I often run on both road and trail and I was able to keep the little rocks out of my shoes that come from trail running. I like the weight and the structure. My one complaint would be lack of variety in colors for the shoe.

I needed a new shoe to fit my custom orthotics and to help get my foot back to running shape. I had to take some time off from running due to posterior tendonitis. If anyone has had this, you know the deal. I had to take at least 6-8 weeks off from running in order for the tendonitis flare up to go down. I knew i wanted to have a shoe that would give me the support and the zero-drop design paired with the intuitive fit so that my feet had enough room to splay while running was essential! I chose these to get me back to running. I've felt wonderful! They fit my orthotics great and from anywhere from quick 1 mile runs, to tempo runs, and stair climbs to my long runs, these have fit the bill! Way togo Altra! :)
