Reviews of Altra Women's Superior Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

As a long time trail runner I've tried major labels such as New Balance but always felt like I was getting mixed results in terms of performance. This is my first pair of minimalist shoes and I will never go back to traditional running shoes again. The zero drop from heel to toe feels much more natural and provides less strain overall. Being able to feel the ground beneath my feet has made me much more responsive to conditions. Additionally, the traction is bad ass. This is all wheel drive for your feet. Straight up the mountain like a goat. True to size, just jump in!

I have been wearing minimal shoes for several years and the Altra Superior is by far my favorite. I just bought my second pair. It is very lightweight but has some cushioning. It also has a wide toe box, which is very hard to find in most shoes especially minimal shoes. Running with crammed toes is not conducive to natural running. I also really like the treads of the Superior. They are not excessive, but give adequate traction so I can go from road to trail, and can wear these in snowy conditions.

Best Deals on Altra Women's Superior Running Shoe

I am a marathon runner who completely reevaluated my running form and shoes due to a hip injury. To make a long story short, these shoes are like heaven for me! My injury got to the point where running was no longer a run and stress relieving activity for me. After taking time off and gradually easing myself back in, I sought out minimalist shoes and began trail running. I originally was going to go for Inov-8's, but fell in love with these. They are SO comfortable, and help promote mid foot striking (and not heel striking). I used to run in Asics. I ran on a pretty rocky trail the other day and they worked wonderfully and have held up nicely. Even though they are minimalist, I never felt as though the rocks were painful or aggravating. The shoe is lightweight, comfortable, and durable. It's awesome to have pain free running again. Two thumbs way up!

I love barefoot/minimalist style shoes for running, yet I find that after I pass 7 or 8 miles, the balls of my feet start aching. So I searched for shoes that were zero drop but had a tad more padding than the New Balance Minimus or Merrel Glove or Five Finger Bikilas. Altra is the answer. They are relatively light weight and have just enough cushioning that I can run half marathons without my feet aching for days after. I bought the Intuitions last year and love them. I decided to try the trail version for running on rough roads and trails in Ethiopia. These are definitely a little bigger than the intuitions and I wish I had ordered a half size down. My foot slid around too much during the first run. The grip on the sole of the shoe is great! I no longer slip on loose gravel and am able to gain traction in the dirt. Overall, I like them. I just wish they were less clunky and truer to size.
