Best you ever

Echo max Siri six is the best shoe for running on the street. I had Achilles issues and was having a hard time running for a long distance. The shoe takes the pressure off your Achilles and your arch and makes it feel like you could run for 5 miles with no problem. I really wish they would keep the shoe and bring it back. I did not like the series 7 had no cushion and I was unable to run as far as I wanted to keep series 6 love it so much. Thank you.

Love these! The very best for Achilles and knee issues!

These are by far the best shoes for Achilles and Knee issues. Please don't stop making the Parisian 6. The new paradigm 7 caused pronation and is uncomfortable! Why did Altra ruin a good shoe

Comfortable shoe

This is my first time ever purchasing this brand. They are very comfortable and well made. I feel like they look a little geriatric to me. But I guess that's what you get with the wide toe. If you don't mind looking a little older, they are really comfortable.

Comfy but squeaky and wearing quickly

These are the first of this kind of fit I have ever owned, and they cured my knee issues almost immediately. The guide rail was a little narrow on one foot at first, but they broke in nicely. On the down side, both shoes are squeaky, sounding like I am walking with wet shoes on. I have tried adjusting the inserts but it keeps coming back. Also, they are wearing VERY quickly - pieces of the sole are detaching after 7-8 months or so, and a hole is starting to wear on one.

Favorite shoes

Favorite shoes, I may or may not have 6 altras in rotation due to how much I love them. I will forever run in altras and also wear them as work shoes. Thank you for making the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

Paradigm 6: excellent solution for hammer toe

Love the wide toe box, zero drop, cushioning, and the SUPPORT! Perfect for my 63yo, high-arched, hammer-toed, pronating size 10 feet! They were awesome at work, and I can't wait to run in them

BEST Pair of shoes EVER

I know a lot of the men have said they don't care for this much cushion but at 51 and a woman the cushion this shoe provides for me is PERFECT on my joints and I have a few times had them on all day (yes, I know it's a no no) and my feet NEVER hurt! The wide toe box is amazing and the support is just right. I am SO DISAPPOINTED that the new 7 shoe is only High cushion! Please go back to the MAX cushion on the 8! It took me years to find the right shoe! I am now scouring the internet for my size and will buy as many as I can unfortunately I have to buy the women's as the men's are sold out in my size. I purchased the men's because the ladies colors were ugly...I loved the neutral beige color of the men's. Please go back to the MAX cushion on the 8!

Developed a hole after light usage.

I liked these shoes, but they developed a hole in the lining on the heel after very light usage. The hole is causing blisters on my heel.

I love this shoe

I bought this shoe for half marathon training because my Hokas were causing me pain and my vivos didn't have enough cushion. Problem solved! My runs are so comfortable now I LOVE these shoes.
