Superior 3.0

Altra uses 3 different foot shapes, not all their models use the same shape. https://www.altrarunning.com/en-us/about-us/footshape.html. I started off w/ the Altra Lone Peaks then didn't understand why i didn't like their Superiors as much. Turns out i only like their shoes w/ original footshape (LPs, Timp).

Altra superior is my go to because of low stack and ground feel. . Lone peak GTX my winter/early spring shoe.

Altra Superior and Lone Peak are even lower stack than the Timp.

I had 3 pairs of superiors shred apart on the upper on both inside and outside just above where it connects to the base of the shoe. Same for 3 pairs of outroads. I've never had a non altra showle do this. They all died at under 250km. I have ~1800 km on a pair of nordas right now, and ~700 and 400 on a couple pairs of Topo mt5s. Ive put over 1000km on each of the last 3 pairs of topo phantoms I have had. I have a pair of timps and they have held up well, and the paradigm 4 was an amazing altra shoe. Altra is absolutely hit and miss and this topic comes up a ton. It isnt and OP thing. Its an altra thing.

If you want minimalist, I found Altra superiors to be pretty good.

Altra Lone Peak and Superior both feel wider to me than Experience

Whatever is most comfortable for you. I have wide feet, a lifetime of wearing New Balance 4E is testament. I wear Altra Lone Peak, I have also worn the Superior but the newer models have a smaller footbox. I like them for day hikes and backpacking trips, quick drying is important to me as I walk through creek crossings. One of my heels is a little narrower so I compensate with a stick-on pad on that inside.
