Why We Like The Altra Superior 6 Shoe
Built for the trail runners who believe that less is more, the Altra Superior 6 is a nimble running shoe with plenty of trail feel. Starting around 8 ounces per shoe, the Superior boasts minimalist cushioning and the brand's famous blend of 0mm drop from heel to toe, a women-specific fit, and Footshape toe boxes that let our toes splay naturally. Updated for 2023, version 6 has updated the uppers with a new ripstop material, increased breathability in the vamp, and tweaked the Maxtrac outsoles for more tactile traction and durable tread.

I love Altras and have multiple pairs of Lone Peaks, but this style was very uncomfortable for my wide feet. They pinched my feet everywhere in the front because they're too narrow and too short from a height perspective. Bummer because the green color is really nice looking and the material looks like good quality.

When I received this beautiful trail runner I was hopeful it was going to be my new “fav”. Sadly the to box was peeling up! I tried them thinking it would go back down. Not the case, but then they were dirty. Bummer, my bad for mot returning them ASAP!
