Very Similar To Provision

Wish you still made Provision but this is pretty close. Now don’t ever discontinue this!!

Like Walking On Clouds

I bought this shoe when it first came out and after trying it for a few weeks, I was worried it might sell out. It is the best sneaker I have ever had, no kidding. I don't even have to put my orthotic in it after 3 months of wear and I cannot believe it. My foot specialist recommended it to me and it was the best I have had.

Experience Form-the Only Shoe I'll Ever Run In!

I love Altras but running in zero drop shoes hurts my knees and lower back. The Experience Form is just what I needed! A slight drop and a wide toe box; the best of both worlds! No more pain! 5 stars!

Returned

I had to return . Not enough toe box room. I have purchased from you last year. just can't get that same fit like before.

Runs Half Size Small

I have ordered Torrins in size 8, but in this shoe, I felt like Cinderella. Currently awaiting the 8.5 and absolutely can't wait because the shoes felt like a dream (even though they were small). Can't wait to run & train in these!

I Won't Buy This Product Again.

The toe box is a perfect width but the hight of the toe box is not deep enough which causes the shoe to put pressure on the top of the first and second toe. Uncomfortable fit.

Built For Comfort

The cushy craze is not normally my thing because I feel like I'm falling off of the sides, but I love my Escalantes so much I thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did! Cushioning is just the right amount of comfort and offers enough feeling of contact with the ground that I need to feel stable. Hope they stay in rotation!

My New Obsession

As someone who healed her plantar fasciitis with daily foot stretching and wearing THESE amazing shoes, I'm a convert. Please don't mess with a good thing. Roomy toe box and perfect heal toe drop!

These Shoes Are Amazing

I got these shoes because after ankle surgery and months of recovery, I could only walk about 20 minutes without pain using other shoes. I bought these because my foot is still swollen and these shoes have a large toe box. Within a week, I was walking 45+ minutes at a time. I'm delighted with the comfort of these shoes. I bought a half size bigger than my normal walking shoes which currently are too tight. I will definitely buy Altra shoes again.

My All Time Favorite Shoe

These are my all time favorite shoes!! They have helped my feet with plantar fasciitis. I walk a lot and spend hundreds on shoes that I thought would help but these were the only ones that worked the best

Yes I Would Buy Them Again And Again

Best sneakers I've ever owned I have had plantar fascitis all my life. I am now 189lbs lighter and leaning to run! I live and love These sneakers!!

Best Sneaker Ever!

This shoe was recommended to me by a foot and ankle specialist because of mortons neuroma and some toe problems. These shoes are like walking on clouds! I love them and don't even use my orthotics in them. I should, but my feet are so happy without having them, I'll wait and see. Prior to these shoes other other sneakers were also recommended by a different podiatrist and they were fine but had to have inserts and wear toe separators and tubes...well that was a pain so I am happy I discovered my Forms.

Goldilocks

I have several different styles of Altras for different purposes. These are the "Goldilocks"- generous toe box, mid foot is secure but not too snug and best is the shoe feels supportive and not too cushioned. I have high arches and have no problem with this shoe. Will be buying more for certain. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes but went up to an 8 and the fit is perfect!

These Shoes Are Amazing!!!

I love these shoes! They are super comfortable and are true to size. The laces stay tied & they are lightweight. I love the way they cushion my impact when running.

Could This Be The Shoe That Replaces My Paradigms?!

I've been in love with the Paradigm since the Paradigm 3. This was the shoe that gave me my love for running because my knees and back no longer hurt. I have been running in the 6 for 2 years now. I have 7 pairs. I thought I'd try this Experience Form because I read that heavier, heel strikers might benefit from a small drop. I have to say this is a pretty good shoe! Very nice padding (think squishmallow) around the heel makes for a comfy fit. The biggest difference I notice is how this shoe has some stability but not as strict as the Paradigm. I've noticed my heel is still able to sink in slightly on the inside when I land, whereas the Paradigm really makes you land on the outside of your heel. I feel this is a good thing for me, as I'm not a super underpronator, and I feel like I'm landing more evenly now not solely on the outside of my heel. I've also enjoyed that this shoe is lighter. My feet don't feel so heavy and I've actually been clocking 15-20seconds less per mile for the past 5 runs with the Experience Form. I have to get a 9.5 in the Paradigm for the shoe to fit my foot properly and with that, my second toes hit the top of the shoe and basically I have no toenail left on those two toes. I ordered a size 10 in the Experience and it fits and does not hit my toes so maybe with continued wear I'll get my toenails back! These shoes did not come with elastic laces so I switched them out for Caterpy laces.
