Provision 7 Running Shoe - Women's

They're great!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

7.5

I'm not a runner, but needed new shoes as I'm training for my first sprint triathlon. My previous runners were old and worn down. I personally wanted something with more cushion (I understand that's a hot topic in the running community) and something that was affordable. I saw these on sale and read positive reviews. I enjoy the wide toe box and I feel like I have a smooth run in them. The grip on the bottom feels quite tacky, which I love, compared to my old runners. I don't feel like I'm pounding into the ground. And they're cute, IMO.

Wish I could have 10 more of these

Super great daily trainers! I've been marathon training with these as my daily miles though they've got enough pep for some of my faster paces. 200 miles in and they look almost exactly like when I first got them. Even in rainy weather their traction is great and the upper still looks fresh (I have the teal colorway). These were my first zero drop shoes so at first I was nervous since I've got very flat feet. Fast forward and they've helped my form tremendously! The cushion is just the right amount. I prefer firmer shoes so these fit my preferences. Fair warning that they took maybe 10 miles initially to soften up to the right firmness for me. I've heard the 8s aren't great so I'm tempted to buy a few more of these...

The best sneaker I have ever worn

Comfortable right out of the box. Supports my foot completely and is still nice and roomy in the toe box. I love the colors too..I wear these mainly on my long walks with my dog. These are the best sneakers I have ever tried. I can't see myself going with another brand after this.

I'm on my 4th pair!

I have a hard time finding the perfect fit in walking/running shoes. Until Now!! I absolutely love these shoes and have recommended them to family and friends.

Love em

These are my first pair of running shoes, or rather, my second, as they are replacing this exact model I purchased 6 months ago. They are very comfortable. You see, I live in Birkenstocks, so I'm used to comfort and room to let me feet and toes move. I would say these are the Birkenstocks of running shoes!

Preferred the 6s

The shoe feels to tight across the top of my foot and I start to loose circulation on longer runs. Hoping they break in, but I did not have this issue with the Provision 6s.

Perfect

Recommended by Orthopedist, Great support , comfort for my healing broken toe. Needed wide foot bed

Way too narrow!

What is going on with ALTRA? You guys are making your shoes more narrow and you're going to lose your original market. These shoes are way too narrow. These are supposed to be standard but they feel like the narrow shoes I avoid from other shoe companies. My new blisters tell the story. I really hope I don't need to find another shoe company.

Great zero drop shoes for longer runs

Footbox continues to be comfortable. Enough support for longer runs. Of course with the zero drop my foot/calves work harder.

Love this shoe

I've purchased 3 pairs of the Provision 7. They provide the perfect amount of support and cushioning. They fit true to size and are the perfect width for my narrower foot. I'm an older runner with knee issues and I find these shoes permit me to continue with the sport.
