Review: Not the widest toe box - They have a slightly wider toe box than normal but they're not the widest altra makes. You can check their website to find the right ones.
Review: excellent zero drop trainers - very comfortable zero drop trainers and a great wide toe box but not so big they look weird as you can get with other wider toe box shoes. My feet fit perfectly and have plenty of toe room.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the widest toe box
*by E***6 on 21 May 2026*

They have a slightly wider toe box than normal but they're not the widest altra makes. You can check their website to find the right ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent zero drop trainers
*by A***G on 13 September 2025*

very comfortable zero drop trainers and a great wide toe box but not so big they look weird as you can get with other wider toe box shoes. My feet fit perfectly and have plenty of toe room.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barefoot shoes with padding, essentially
*by D***N on 6 May 2025*

Third pair of Altras, still true to size. I now swear by this brand. I have Superior 4.5 for outdoors and Timp 5 GTX as a backup (they have a really thick sole) as seen from the picture attached and wanted something for everyday use. These black ones are perfect! They’re not in your face, have a slimmer sole and everything else that Altra is known for.
