Product Description
All the benefits of Altra's award-winning minimalist running shoe are back with a hot, new look in the Altra Intuition 1.5 barefoot-inspired sneaker. This women's athletic shoe boasts a quick-drying air mesh upper with a Dri-Lex collar lining and full-length, streamlined seaming construction lining to wick moisture and reduce chafing. The distinctive foot-shaped toe box gives toes more room to work properly; the Zero DropTM platform allows a more natural, efficient foot strike that helps reduce joint impact, shin splints and forefoot pain. A dual-density, cushioned footbed rides atop a 12mm, dual-layer cushioned midsole providing essential shock absorption and responsiveness. Built on a last shaped specifically for the female foot, the Altra Instinct 1.5 runner is finished with a 4.5mm blown rubber outsole to provide a natural, all-purpose traction system for a variety of surfaces from road to treadmill to trails.Altra Women's The Intuition 1.5 Running Shoe,Raspberry/Charcoal,10.5 M US Review
I run about an average of 20 miles a week but just started training for my next marathon and am in the market for a couple of pairs of shoes to rotate throughout training. I was interested in going back to more of a minimalist shoe (have run in the Saucony Kinvara for couple of years then went back to a more traditional Asics/Brooks). I saw the commercial for these, read the reviews and decided to try. Also, wanted to let others know that I am not a petite runner so I am very particular about support. I am impressed with this shoe. You will immediately notice a difference with this shoe. I did not need to add my arch support inserts because this shoe supported my arch. I started running in this shoe with 4 or 5 mile runs but had no issue transitioning and ended up doing my long run in these by week 2. I think they are a bit odd to walk in but they feel good to run in. I wear a size 8 1/2 or 9 in regular shoes (depending on width). I bought a size 10 and actually think I could have gone with a 9 1/2. The people that said these shoes run small might be buying their running shoes too small. I always go up at least a size if not a size and a half. My issues is always width (not wide enough) and the way these shoes are shaped the width is not an issue.Last comment - these shoes do look different. The toe box is big and round and the zero drop is different than other shoes. If you are someone that buys shoes for look or style - this is not the shoe for you. The first thing my husband said was "those look weird". I have friends that I don't think would wear these for that reason. :-)
