ALTRA Men's AL0A7R6Y Rivera 3 Road Running Shoe

I originally purchased the Rivera 2s to be my daily use shoe. I wasn’t sure I could walk in them as I had been using orthotics in “normal” running shoes. I have narrow low volume feet, but I like my toes to be free, so I was excited to find altra made a shoe with my fit in mind. I can wear these with normal thickness socks. Differences between the 2 and 3, from my point of view. The tongue is thinner or less padded, and I’m still getting used to it. The shoe feels a little more stiff, but that’s probably because they are still new. I don’t like the look of the toe from the top. The 2s have the toe guard and reflective strip, and that kind of breaks up the look a bit. I do really like the sole on the 3s. The black parts on the sole of the 2s start to come off at the corners, and then they catch on things. The green inserts in the 3s seem better positioned to stay adhered to the shoe. The laces on the 3s don’t hold quite as well as the 2s, but it’s not a huge difference. I purchased the Rivera 3 to use as my walking shoes. So far I like them, but I would have also been fine with another pair of the 2s. I can’t really run, but I have done a little run/walking and they feel great. They are comfortable and well cushioned, and I have enjoyed them as my daily shoe. I would recommend them, and I look forward to trying more of Altra’s slim fit shoes.

Me gustó casi todo, en general es un calzado de calidad, el color muy bonito, ligero, el único pero que le pongo es que es muy ancho. Eso no lo aprecié en las fotos.

Provengo da Brooks taglia 42.5, avendo un piede di 27 cm. Comparando la tabella misura dell'Altra ho preso sempre 42.5 (Altra Rivera 3) e la calzabilità si è rivelata perfetta, poichè c'è sempre quel mezzo centimetro scarso che impedisce all'alluce di toccare. Oggi le ho inaugurate con un fondo lento di 15 km e sono risultate migliori delle mie attuali Brooks Glycerin 20, poichè l'oscillazione verticale è molto ridotta avendo un drop zero e quindi appoggiando di avampiede. Super consigliate!

I enjoyed my first two short runs on these Rivera 4. They run large for me, but I am not used to wearing foot-shaped shoes, and they might be a little slim in comparison to the other Altra shoes. Feels really good on my feet comfy and bouncy at the same time which gives you a little bit of energy return. Since the shoes are foot-shaped, I felt like to provided a little bit of stability which I like.The laces are not the best, you will have to double-tie them to make sure they don't loosen up.
