Not The Same Fit As The Superior 5

I was excited to upgrade my Superior 5's to the 6's and I was very disappointed. The toe box is so narrow that I haven't even attempted a run in them and won't.

So Uncomfortable.

I have run in the superiors for at least 5 years. For whatever reason, the superior 6 are some of the LEAST comfortable shoes I have ever worn - something I have never thought about an Altra.

Such A Shame

After having a great experience with the Superior 5, I cannot believe why they would change the Superior 6 to being so tight and narrow in the mid and fore foot. As a Physiotherapist specialising in biomechanics, these definitely do not promote splaying of the feet and a natural movement. Caused significant pain and brought back old injuries. The heel cup or back is too low whihc then pulled my socks down into the shoe. The only good thing is that the grip is better than the Superior 5 that was very slippery in the wet.

I Have Bought Multiple Pairs! Never Want To Be Without.

I love these shoes. Ample toe box. They are solid on my feet but don't swallow my ankle bones. Good traction. Soles wear well. They are available in low-key colors and they are pretty easy to clean.

Disappointment

Wow. I loved the superior 5. I can't believe how narrow these are. Toebox feels ok but it squeezes my foot. Such an awful fit I didn't even try to run in them. Why change the sizing when it's supposed to be the same shoe?
