Altra Provision 6

My first Altra shoes were Paradigm 6. These Provisions do not have as much cushion as the Paradigm but are still REALLY close! The shape is wonderful for the toes. I did add some arch support but not full orthotic inserts as the toe box was not as roomy as the Paradigm. They are wear-all-day comfortable and I love the blush color for spring and summer! They also have plenty of flexibility in the front of the shoe for rising onto your toes! The fit in length and width was consistent with my previous Altras. I do wish they had a deeper heel lock position in the lacing.

I've bought 3 pairs over the last couple of years in different colors. I have a wide in the front and narrow heeled feel. The fit is great and the shoe is so comfortable..

I began my experience with Altra in March with the Provision 5 after running my first half marathon. Shin splints were reoccurring despite regular training and recovery. I have wide feet so a sales rep recommended Altra shoes for their wide toe box. My only qualm with the Provision 5 was the tongue moved around way too much and I had to stop during my runs to adjust it but my shin splints went away! The Provision 6 has been my shoe of choice to train for my first marathon. It has all the stability and comfort of the 5 with the added bonus of a stable tongue. I've been incredibly pleased with their performance. They grip the ground really well and after a few uses the high heel covering gets softer. Can't wait to see how they do on race day!

I'm a survival tech standing for long hours. This is my 2nd pair. I also have plantation fasciitis these shoes are the best.

I have a narrow heel and wide forefoot and usually wear slip ons so I can take my shoes off and give my toes room. This is the only shoe I’ve ever been able to wear all day. I also overpronate and the guide rail technology helps stabilize my feet. The shoes are very light weight. I would like a little more cushioning.

Altra Provision 6 is the most comfortable and supportive shoe I've ever owned. The arch support hits in the exact spot I need it. They're roomy without being sloppy. I love the rounded front which provides extra room for my toes. Walking in them is like walking on a cloud. And I love the colors that they come in.

Too difficult to walk in this shoe. Even with pads in the heels the shoe seems not to be made for walking.

Fleet feet provided a first time learning experience on what shoes are best for my feet. I had an incredible and super helpful and much needed education on the way I walk stand shape of feet length of shoe that is best in caring for my feet etc.. To have a well knowledgeable sales associate suggest appropriate brands and put shoes on my feet was a treat. The shoes I purchased have made a difference in my ability to power walk without pain in my hips and lower back

The toe box is a little wide but you can't find shoes with just a little smaller toe box. I did have to get different insoles for these shoes to make them more comfortable. That added another $50 to the price.
