Experience Wild 3

Seconded. I have the Altra Experience Wild 3+ and they're fantastic. Alternatively, if you're trails aren't super rocky and/or you don't want lugs on your shoes, you could have a look at the Experience Flow.

I only use them for hiking. These are the first non-waterproof trail shoes ive used before and the breathability is great, albeit of course leaves me vulnerable to water ingress. But should be fine when it's warm as my feet dried pretty quickly. Ive not long had them, so can't really comment on durability, except to say it appears ive caught the fabric on the top (near top lace eyelet) and its damaged the fabric. I can't comment on whether that is on me, but it's never happened before on other shoes. I also read that the sole wears out pretty quick (can't comment yet), but that is a tradeoff i'm willing to eat, given they fit so nice in the midfoot and i'm tired of shoe roulette trying to find something that fits. I have a wide forefoot, reasonably wide midfoot and narrow ankle so something like salomon, brooks, or topo is a no-go. Edit: On descent, can't say I noticed. I'd say they're not as laterally stable as my inov-8', but didn't get bruised toes or anything.

Altra Experience Wild 3+ this new version switched to Vibram soles. 4mm drop and more stack than the Lone Peaks, which I still wear on flat easy trails because they're like slippers. Standard toe box (still wider) for Altra, Lone Peaks have the OG. I also have Tarkine Trail Devil 2, Topo MTN Racer 3 and Hoka Speedgoats.

Ive had the 1,2 and now the 3+. The 3 or 3+ seems like the best version yet for me. The tread doesnt have any voids on the bottom and the heel was redesigned and feels very locked in with minimal front to back movement. The only difference between the 3 and 3+ is the rubber being upgraded to Vibram and the toe strike is bigger for more protection. Although it is less "rocker" style like the 1 and 2, i didnt notice that difference on my recent run in them. Having the extra tread protection on the bottom is worth it for me. Got sharp rocks 'round here.

Altra Experience Wild 3+, 4mm drop, Love these shoes

exp wide 3 has a 4mm drop, so closer to other standard drop brands, not really low drop. i wear exp wild 2’s and altra olympus 6 & 275 which are true zero drop. i’d give yourself a couple of hours per day & building up - if i wear the ew2’s for 5 days straight my first day in oly’s gives me some pain in the top of my foot and top of fib, but just for a day. some people new to the altra toebox width can benefit from toesox to pack it out - you may be experiencing some growing pains, give them a solid go before you chuck em out
