Review: Needed Zero Down Shoes - I've been a runner and hiker most of my life but my feet are shot. I'm taking drastic measures to correct problems without having surgery or injections. Going to zero down shoes with a wide natural toe is not the drastic part, it's the easy part. I'm also transitioning to bare foot shoes when I'm not at work. This is going to take a while to undo what I've done but so far it seems to be helping. Most people take this journey way too fast so I'm taking people's advice and going slow. These are my first Altras after researching many brands and I like them. Very comfortable. The cushion is good yet not squishy like Hoka, but most of all it's a zero down shoe with plenty of room for my toes to move. Hopefully I can reverse my Morton's Neuroma and abductor digili minimi pain. If your feet hurt then life can be tough. The heel is more snug then I expected (I have very thin feet with no fat) so be warmed. I would have preferred to have gotten the all black but it was $52 more than the black and gray. Couldn't justify it. I did find this color on sale so make sure if you're not picky on what color you need that you look at the different versions. These shoes are not cheap so even $109 in this economy is quite a bit. Eventually I'll be using these for mountain hikes but for a while I'll be using these at work simply as a good pair of shoes. They might look a little funny to some because of the larger toe box but frankly I could care less what people think. At least I can see my feet. Made of good quality materials and even though it doesn't look like it it's quite a light shoe. Definitely worth trying. If these are your first is zero down shoes then take it easy at first. If you're using them to eventually transfer over to barefoot shoes, take it easy, this is not a race. Go up half or a whole size on these. They run small.
Review: Finally, a shoe that lets my feet breathe! - ​I am beyond impressed with these shoes. They are stylish, lightweight, ultra comfortable & form fitting. ​The biggest win for me is the fit. As someone with wide feet, it’s hard finding shoes that don't bunch my toes together, but these give my feet plenty of room to sit naturally. ​Even if you’re not into trail running, these are great everyday shoes to wear everywhere. Honestly, they’re the only shoes I wear unless I have to dress formal. Whether I'm hitting a trail or just running errands, the comfort is unmatched.

## Features

- With Altra’s signature FootShape fit, you get our roomiest toe box with plenty of room to help your toes move freely, and space through the midfoot.
- Vibram Megagrip is a high-performance sticky rubber that offers unparalleled grip on both wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity, and optimal ground adaptability.
- GaiterTrap, our unique hook-and-loop tab, allows for easy strapless gaiter attachment without fasteners, bungees, or bindings. Trail debris in your shoes? No thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needed Zero Down Shoes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid shoe for my tired and damaged dogs.
*by J***N on August 14, 2023*

After a rainshower of blood clots almost cost me my legs (that's a whole other story), my feet are now damaged and I deal constantly with nerve pain and drop foot. One of life's unexpected gifts at the age of 40, I can assure you. This has put me on a quest to find the best shoe to bring comfort and relief to my feet. After trying Hoka and Asics, and not being satisfied, a rep from REI recommend Altras. I had never heard of them, but was desperate for help. He recommended the Olympus model for cushion, so I went with it. Finally, my aching feet were able to spread out and experience some true comfort. The cushion is just right for what I need and the wide toe-box was perfect for what I needed. The overall width of the shoe is great for me, since I'm now dealing with some balance issues. The build of the shoes have been quality for me and I have literally taken them across the world. They are great for everyday life and they provide me with the comfort I need to keep going. After all of this happened to me, I was determined I would not spend the rest of my life sitting in a recliner. These shoes allow me to go as hard as I want for as long as I need. I am currently on my second pair of Altra Olympus 5's and I'm looking at a third. I'm grateful that Altra has made a shoe that is perfect for feet to spread out, be comfortable, and be active.
