Altra Men's Superior Trail Running Shoe,Black/Green,9 M US Review

I have been running in Vibram Five Finger shoes (Bikila LS) for almost a year now until it was getting quite cold and snowy/icy rain out. It's no longer comfortable to be running in the VFF. I switched back to running in my Brooks GT12 (the shoes that I started with until I discover bare foot running). I hadn't run in GT12 for almost a year and wearing them to run again really felt weird. I felt like I had to work a lot harder to keep my heel from touching the ground, but they kept me warm and dry so I kept running for a couple of months. On one weekend the weather was warmer so I went back to my VFF again. One day after, I was having a hard time walking because my calves were sore. This meant that my running style changed! The GT12 shoes have a lot more cushion so my calves were not doing the work and support while I was running anymore. I was concerned that I might be slipping back to the old bad running habits.

Not wanting to get back to the old running style, I went to the local running shoe store to find something that could help keep my feet warm while allowing me to run the same way. They recommended these Altra Superior running shoes. I normally wear an equivalent of 8 to 8.5 US size (39 for Bikila LS) and I need wide front. So the store fitted me with a size 9 and these shoes are already wider by design. The sizing apparently needs to be 0.5 size bigger or it'll be too tight. I took these for a spin this morning for about 4 miles. They feel a little different than running in VFF, but the zero drop allows me to land my foot about the same way.

So far my legs and calves feel good. No rubbing or weird pain. The calves got some work out and it felt similar to running in the VFF but not exactly since there were still more cushions in the Altra. I'll have to run in them more and see how well these shoes hold up especially in snow. For now I'm satisfied and happy to rate this 5 stars.
