I’ve been wearing Altra running shoes for many years now. I Had never seen a shoe like them as they had a unique toebox. I actually bought two pairs as you couldn’t get them in Canada at the time. I went from walking in severe pain to being able to walk pain-free. At the time I did not have peripheral neuropathy, but painful, bunions and hammer toe. Last week I bought a pair of Hoka running shoes based on recommendations that I read on various Facebook groups. The advantage of the Hoka is that you can get it in a wide width. I’m very comfortable in them. The only thing about any running shoe I wear is that my feet get hot and start burning. So I’ll probably be happier in them in the cooler weather. (It’s abysmally hot And humid here right now). I love my Wolky Sandals and my Cambrian sandals, both which fit my orthotics. Orthotics have also been Game changer for me and I would encourage you to consider a pair. Best of luck.

Which Altra shoes do you recommend? I understand they have three shapes, with the original having the widest toe spread. Is the Altra toe box wider than the HOKA wide?
Please tell us more.

Hi, can you tell us more about the Altra shoes, please? Have you worn the original shape? I have HOKA Bondi 8's and Orthofeet Nira's, but the toe shape of the Altra looks better. Which models of Altras have you liked? Thanks!
