????

I wore these for one hour in my home. Looked down and was dismayed at the absolute collapse of the sole after one hour working from home indoors gentle test drive. I am 5’6 155lb woman. I did not even jump around. They fit fine, that’s not the issue.. when you make a shoe that is half way to the landfill within 1 hour of wear, I can no longer support you as a company. Cute shoe! Very barefoot, fantastic! Means nothing if I cannot even wear them as a slipper?? super disappointing quality standards. Please for the love of humanity do better

Amazing Shoes, Color Not As Expected.

I bought the Ice/ Niagara mist color. Not yellow at all, just icy blue. Still a pretty shoe, so I'll be keeping it. Feels well made, extremely comfy, fit as expected. Ordered my usual running size of 9.5, normal day shoes I do 9.

Loved The Experience Flow 2 Better

I loved to 2's so much, i was wondering how you'd improve them. But sadly, you didn't. The 2's just flow better when you run. Better feel on your feet. I'm sad I bought 5 pair.

Why Change A Great Thing?

I loved using this shoe for the last two years, and a different Altra for two years before that. I went to get a new pair and they totally changed the footbed, and my foot now rolls inward both on this model and the Torin. Now I have to find another shoe brand. Why do companies do this?!! Ruined a perfect thing.

Bad Upgrade From The 1

I’ve been a longtime Altra fan and loved my original Experience Flow shoes, so I was excited to upgrade to the Experience Flow 3. Unfortunately, the 3 feels completely different on my foot and caused significant heel pain. I switched back to my original Experience Flows and my feet immediately felt good again. I’m disappointed with the changes made to the 3 and really wish they had kept the fit and feel of the original.

My Best Running Shoe Yet

This is the first shoe that I've owned that allows my feet to feel supported yet more free when running. The brand was recommended by a colleague with a sports medicine focus and I'm grateful he recommended Altra. I took a break from running due to the hip and knee pain and a repetitive broken metatarsal bone but these shoes have allowed me to get back at it with lower risk of injury. Love them! Just purchased my 2nd pair.

From Hoka Bondi To Altra Women's Experience Flow 3

Y'all the difference is startling in such a great way. If you're a Bondi wearing hospital nurse, you should def give them a go. I'll buy more once some cool colors come out - who can really wear all these light colors!?

Nice To Be Back

I started wearing Altra Lone Peaks in 2017 while doing the PCT. I used Lone Peaks after that, for all hikes and climbs other than in Winter. 2020 or 2021 I moved into a similar shoe that had Vibram soles, as the one issue I had with Lone Peaks was traction on wet, slippery terrain. Now that Altra has put a Vibram sole on the Lone Peak, there is no better trail shoe! I've climbed many 14ers, done long treks in rugged mountains and trail less desert canyons, tackled technical 4-5 class rock work and miles of river walking in my Altras, and I've yet to experience a blister. Just completed the North Circle Loop in Glacier, with days of steady rain and thunderstorms. Enjoyed the overgrown forest trails and rocky mountain passes with confidence in my feet wearing my latest pair of Lone Peaks.

Altra Has Been Going Downhill

I’ve been wearing Altra for years, including the Escalante and original experience flow, which I loved (had bought multiple pairs). I tried the experience flow 2 and absolutely hated them. They gave me extreme heel pain, and they were incredibly narrow and gave me blisters. I returned them. I am finding that for some reason you guys keep making more versions of shoes, but they continue to get worse. Please stop changing things that are already great. I’m about to give up. :(

Extremely Comfortable And The Flat

Extremely comfortable and the flat foot feel was excellent for my foot health

All Day Comfort

I work in footwear at REI, which means I walk A LOT for long hours a day, on concrete! These shoes are a life saver. I highly recommend for anyone who walks or stands for your daily job - healthcare, servers, etc. I will certainly tell customers how amazing the Experience Flow Altra shoes are and recommend them if it fits their needs.

Happy With Purchase

This is my first lower drop shoe and its taken some getting used to, but I really like these shoes. I love the toe box, great traction, and materials are good quality. The only thing I don't like is that my feet get pretty hot in these. Other than that, a month in running in these I'm happy with the purchase!

Comfortable And No Toe Pain

I am so pleased with this purchase. Recently I switched over from other brands due to shoes changing so much between new releases and not fitting my foot anymore. I have been really pleased with the Flow. I use the flow 2 with good experience. Easy to put eight plus miles on them in the first day without any issues with my toes or feet. Happy with my purchase

Perfect Low-drop Shoe

I've run in Altra shoes for years and loved them, but I was starting to feel like logging all my miles in zero drop was putting too much strain on my joint and tendons. I wanted to try their low-drop line but was unsure how it would go. The Experience Flow 3 hits the perfect spot. It still has all the natural fit features that make Altra beloved, but the slight drop and rocker shape make for a smooth and supportive ride. I feel SO GOOD running in these shoes. Would recommend them to a wide variety of runners.

Just As Expected

Love these shoes got comfort and style! Will buy another
