A budget-friendly, do-everything daily shoe for runners who want a roomy toe box and a low-drop platform; the trade-off is a heavier, less specialized ride.
The EVA-based SmoothStride midsole gives a moderately cushioned, mildly responsive feel suited to easy and uptempo daily miles. At 302g it feels sturdy rather than fast.
Standard FootShape fit gives room for the toes while keeping the midfoot secure, so it runs roomier than typical shoes without being a true wide. Some reviewers found the sizing runs slightly small.
Runners who want Altra's roomy toe box and low 4mm drop for everyday miles and walking on a modest budget.
You want a lightweight, snappy shoe for faster training or you prefer a conventional higher-drop, narrower fit.
