Your in-depth comparison of the Altra Fwd Experience and Rivera 3 shoes is incredibly informative, Jay! It's great to hear your personal insights on their fit and performance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and helping us make informed decisions!
I think they will be fine. I probably should not have said my concern. It is still a lot of cushion. I definitely prefer a little firmer cushion. Some of the new shoes get too mushy for me. I really like the Fwd Experience.
The FWD is a great shoe. I burned out one pair and use my others as my everyday shoes. I just ordered the Topo Atmos. I never liked that much stack, even being a heavier guy, but wanted to try them after the Cyclone 2’s ended up being as amazing as they are.
I haven't tried the Atmos. I am interested to hear what you think of them. They do look like good shoes, but perhaps a bit more stack height than I prefer.
I returned the FWD Experience for some Clifton 9s. The FWD gave me blisters from the upper. I wish they hadnt as I loved the midsole and the rocker. I also picked up some Specters which i think are very similar to the Clifton. Hopefully Altra will hire someone from another shoe company to design the next upper.

Thank you for watching and the kind words, Mihai!
I'll be using the Fwd Experience for a spring marathon, so hopefully I'm still feeling the cushioning in the later stages 🤞

Haven't run in either one, so I can't comment. But your comparisons & reviews are informative. Thanks, Jay.
Thank you, Michael!

I do think there are some similarities between the Clifton and the Specters. I hope you have found shoes that work well for you.
