ALTRA Men Adult 8.5 AL0A5475036 Black/Light Blue

Please bring back the old Provision!!! Like other reviewers, this version is very disappointing compared to the older Provisions. These feel like they actually CAUSE me to pronate instead of reducing my pronation. The outer raised edge of the sole feels so rigid and puts pressure on the outer part of the sole of my foot, forcing pronation, and the arch support is nothing compared to old provisions. Two plusses: these are the best looking Provisions they've ever made, and they got rid of the awkward 3-finger lacing design that was really difficult to use. Unfortunately, I can't wear these shoes because of the pain from pronation. I will stock up on old models when I can find them or have to switch back to the Brooks Beast (a great shoe but inferior to the old Provisions, which are lighter and have a more comfortable toe box).

Very disappointed with these. Loved the 4s and 5s but this just feels like a different shoe. I don't know how to articulate my problems with this shoe like some of the other reviewers but these feel much too narrow & they make my knee hurt. I can appreciate Altra trying something new but I hope they return to form on the next Provision or begin to offer some kind of legacy shoe that is like the 4 or 5. Until then l'll be stocking up on secondhand and old stock pairs of the 4s & 5s to hopefully last me a few years. Altra, I'm okay with your shoes only lasting 6 months as long as I can keep getting more of them!
