Very Disappointing

The first experience flow model was fantastic and one of the best shoes I’ve run on in a while. The updates to this are a huge let down. I barely got 100 miles in before they flattened out and now they hurt.

Great Quality, Super Comfort But Wearing Out Fast

I have a little over 60 miles on my new pair of Experience flow 2. Love the shoes so far and they have tremendously helped my running without getting shin splints. The roomy toe box and plush but secure upper is amazing. I am training for a half marathon and as my miles are ramping up I am seeing significant mid sole wear due to the soft foam. The outsole is also wearing more quickly than i expected. It Looks like the flow 3 has been re designed to correct this issue with some additional tread placement. I will certainly buy the flow 3 but I am a little disappointed with the milage I will get out of the flow 2. If you are on the fence, this is absolutely a great shoe just spend the extra and get the new flow 3.

Thank You Altra!

Altra offering a shoe in a 4mm drop opened up their brand to me. I’m glad I’ve found this shoe as I’ve been wanting to move towards lower drop running shoes. This shoe has a nice and comfortable feel while running.

Manufacturing Defect - Haven't Run In Them Yet

I’ve been an Altra fan for about 10 years and haven’t purchased another running shoe brand since I first tried them. Over that time, I’ve bought dozens of pairs of both road and trail shoes, and they’ve consistently been my go-to. Unfortunately, in recent years I’ve noticed a decline in quality. The upper fabric on my last two pairs began ripping after only moderate use—something I had never experienced with Altra before. After these issues, I was hesitant to buy another pair, but after a decade of loyalty, I decided to give them one more chance. I recently purchased the Men's Experience Flow 2, but it arrived with a manufacturing defect in the insole. As a result, I haven’t even been able to use them yet, so I can’t comment on their performance. I’ve submitted a warranty claim and am hopeful the issue will be resolved. That said, this feels like another sign that the consistency and quality that once defined the brand may be slipping. I’ve now had issues with three consecutive pairs after nearly 10 years without a single problem. At this point, it may be time to explore other options—I’ve heard Topo could be a solid alternative.

Love Them

i was looking for a shoe for rucking and outdoor workouts. These have exceeded my expectations. I initially was going to use these for shorter ruck (4 - 8 miles). But have found them to be comfortable enough to wear for longer rucks (10 - 15 miles). I also use these for heavy carry workouts and short runs. They do it all. I'm going to order another pair just to have available when these are no longer sold.

Toebox Is Shrinking

Bought this shoe a few months back. Was my first Altra. Nice roomy toebox, great shoe. I ran in them all winter. Time for new shoes so I ordered the exact same size, model and color since i like them so much. The toebox is a full 7mm narrower. So i sent it back and ordered another one of the same. Still 7mm narrower. Fits just like hoka, nike and all the others. Im very disappointed. The wide toebox was my draw to Altra. But it seems the standards have changed. 7mm is a huge difference. Same shoe, same size, same color… whats up with that?? Where to go from here?? 😔

Squeaky And Company Doesn’t Stand Behind It

Started squeaking within a month or two with low usage. Embarrassing, so I no longer wear them and support gave me the run around and tried to blame it on an external source. Never had a shoe squek in my life. They don’t stand behind their products and difficult warranty process built to deter you from even trying. Won’t be buying anymore of their iterations.

Very Comfortable, Cushion Didn’t Last

Initially they were extremely comfortable, but the cushion did not last.

Men's Altra

I bought these for my son and he is very happy with them. He usually adds an additional insole for running and does not feel that it is needed with this style.

Great Shoe For Running!

This shoe is light weight, great cushion, not a crazy toe drop.

Altra Flow 2

This is my second pair of this model. They fit my feet and provide great cushioning for my runs, from 10K to 13.1
