Buy Altra Men's Provision Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

These shoes are awesome. Light weight, breathable, and the comphort is amazing. When I returned from the desert last year (military). I had Plantars Faciitis in both feet. Within 2 months after purchasing my first pair of Altra's my Plantars was gone. The life of the shoe is also excellent having been provided two different insoles. They are minimalist as you can get while still having some cushion. I especially like the toe spread they allow over the toe shoes. Highly reccomend would, will, and have bought again. No heal rise definately assists the impact by giving you a larger area of strike over the whole foot rather then the heal and ball of your foot. THey are just and all around great shoe!!!!!

I bought these shoes after having tried several other brands. I tried many because of a persistent plantar fasciitis. I made a modification to the insole and added my aetrex insoles instead of the ones that came with the shoe. The result has been amazing. I now regularly run three times per week with my short runs of anything between 3 and 5 miles and longs of up to 10 miles. So far no injuries (as in none, zip, and zero) in one year with these shoes. They are really durable with no big wear so far. Granted I only use them for running; but I have put the miles with them. Highly recommend them!

Best Deals on Altra Men's Provision Running Shoe

These shoes are awesome! I've been running and playing sports for over 20 years, and at 32 years old I decided to try out the "minimalist" style of running. I initially purchased a pair of new balance minimus shoes that fell apart under my feet within a month... truly disappointed. I thought that maybe it was my style of running or that I was misinterpreting what the shoes were made to do. So I went back to my traditional pair of Asics.

Luckily, I caught a commercial for the Altra brand of shoes on ESPN. Immediately I hopped on Amazon to read reviews and possibly give them a shot... needless to say, I rolled the dice and bought these bad boys. What a pleasant surprise!!!! I've been running 3-5 miles with these from the day I got them, and running has become THE favorite part of my workouts. From here, I'll just list the pros and cons..

*PROS*

High quality materials.. soles, fabric, even laces are durable.

Zero drop.. gives it a barefoot feel without feeling gravel, roots, etc.

Comfort.. like wearing a pair of flip flops.. that don't flip or flop

Style.. these puppies look cool.. I've had plenty of people ask me where I got them.

*CONS*

Size.. I'm listing this as a con only to warn you about how snug these fit. I wear a size 10, so I bought a size 10. When I first put these on my big toe was touching the toe of the shoes. I was a bit concerned with this, but after wearing them and walking around in them for ONE whole day, I think they stretched a little and now they are perfect. Me being me, I didn't think the "buy a 1/2 size larger" applied since I'm a true 10, but I prefer my running shoes to fit without an extra 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

Yep, only one "kinda" con, and that is more of a warning about sizing. So believe it, these shoes are the real deal. Buy em and be a happy runner!!!!

Honest reviews on Altra Men's Provision Running Shoe

OK... This is an update from the initial review. I have tried both the Altra Instinct and the Altra Provision. Based on Looks and Quality I think that the Provision is by far a better shoe.... BUT... As far as foot comfort goes in both running (jogging for me) and daily wear I much prefer the Instinct. For some reason the Provision with it's firmer midsole doesn't quite jive with my foot. The bottom line for me is always go for 'comfort'. I'm afraid that my Provisions are going back. Too bad because overall I think that they are a better shoe. A lot of people are very happy with the Provision so try what works for you. Altra makes good stuff.
