Avoid!
If you're looking for a pair of shoes to roll your ankles in, then look no further! Not good for any semi-technical or hilly trails. I'll keep these for flat trails and gravel roads, nothing else.

Always looking for the Right Trail Shoes
I just got these today & went for a 5 mile run in the Foothills of the Sandias. 900 ft of gain and the shoes were great. Yes, Ive tried them all & "still" run in Hokas, Altras, inov8, mountain to coast, indeed still looking for the 5 star shoe but I'd give it a very solid 4 out of the box. Curious how they hold up in a 50k & 50 Miler. Cushion on this shoe is impressive but how will it be in 250+ miles? Especially on Mt. terrain & true Trail running. But I will recommend them especially this Sale price. Perspective is up to your foot @ the end of the day. Outside Medicine keep running.

Great shoe!
I purchased these for myself during the summer. They are the most comfortable shoes hands-down. I am waiting for them to come out with some cool colors. Guess what, my wife received her own pair for Christmas. She loves them.

I will definitely buy the Altamesa 500 again & again.
I am an urban dweller and do a lot of walking. The Altamesa 500 checks all the boxes, comfort, support and durability. My feet love the 500's. Daily does me right.

I would buy this product again and again.
By pure chance, I came across a North Face sneaker in an ad. I've been a loyal Altra buyer for years because of the wide toe box, so I figured I'd hedge my bets and ordered two pairs of Altras and one pair of North Face. The North Face arrived first. The moment I put them on, I knew - instantly - this was the best tennis shoe I've ever had on my feet. The fit, the comfort, the balance... it just felt right. A few days later, the Altras showed up. They feel great too - as expected - but there's honestly no comparison. The North Face stands in a class of its own. Consider me converted. Awesome shoe. John
