Went away from the shoe I love

After using the Provision 3 and 3.5 for years I had to wait months for the new 4.0. To be real, this is not the Provision shoe that I loved. Nothing about it is the same. It's a good shoe, but the new shoes lace thing is weird and feels kind of cheap, the sole is much thicker. It just doesn't compare to the older 3.5 which I loved. Too. bad they just couldn't add some new color schemes to an already great shoe. The Provision 4.0 just isn't a Provision. It's a new shoe line.

What happened to the "Footshape" toebox?

This is my 2nd pair of Altra running shoes. My first pair was a MEN'S ESCALANTE RACER '19 - which was the most comfortable and well designed running shoe I have ever owned. When it came time to replace it, and since the ESCALANTE was no longer available; I chose a MEN'S PROVISION 4 instead. Although it is supposed to have a "Footshape" toebox, it is uncomfortably tight in the toe area. Maybe Altra had some complaints that the "Footshape" toebox was too wide for some people. But I have read several other reviews that agree with my assessment that the design for the toebox has become too narrow. I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution. I think Altra needs to start offering their shoes in regular and narrow size options. If the next Altra shoe I purchase is also too small in the toebox, then I am done purchasing Altra shoes.

reply from AltraFootwearpwr

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the Men's Escalante Racer! Thank you for the positive comments on its comfort and design. Sorry to hear that your experience with the Provision 4 was not as positive. Although our shoe designs continue to change and evolve, Altra is not moving away from our signature FootShape toe box. The biggest difference you might be feeling in fit is this change in material and stitching to create a more refined product. Our different shoe models offer a variety of different fit experiences, and different materials have varying amounts of give. If you are looking for a more roomy toe box fit in road shoe models, we would suggest looking at one of our knit-upper shoes, such as the Escalante or Paradigm.

I want to love these shoes

Got my first pair of Provision 4's and have been putting some miles on them. I really want to love these shoes - they are 90% there but not quite doing it. I've been running in the Torin 4's and love the fit of those shoes, but the foam in the soles wears out too fast so I was looking for something with a similar upper but more stability underfoot for the long haul - hence the Provisions. My main complaint is that the lacing and heel counter don't work together as well as I would like. Basically, the heel is too wide causing my heel to lift up but the lacing with those tongue things is designed to pull your foot down but not back. So, my heel lifts when I run, but the laces pinch over the top of my foot if I try to tighten them to hold my heel down. It also means that my foot slides forward going downhill. Aside from that, they are great - they feel light and responsive and the mesh upper holds the rest of my foot well aside from the heel, and they don't feel quite as mushy underfoot as the torins.
