Having run in Altra going back to 2009, and appreciating the zero drop, I'm still torn over the 4mm drop. I wonder if the new ownership (VF Corp) had something to do with that, to improve market competitiveness. Thanks, Matt, for another comprehensive review.
It has to have something to do with it, if not everything. Why leave an entire segment off the table when it could bring in profits? Altra makes really good shoes, so I’m not upset at the move to low drop on a few models.
I don't run in altra but I always keep some around to keep my legs stretched some..they do make decent yard work shoes..fortunately they are always discounted a lot at the end of the model year..
They need to send a different colorway for the reviews. It is not helping sell the shoe. What were they thinking? That said, I am glad they are expanding more into low drop shoes and thinner upper is welcome. I ran in original FWD Experience for a few miles and had felt warm here in Texas.
Hello Mat, because you are a runner i would like to ask a question. I did intense workouts like running for hours and lifting weights. However, for three days i have noticed my heart beating. I have never felt like that before. Do really runners feel heart palpitations? Please let me know if you ever felt like that or if it’s normal for athletes and if you have a way to cure this. Thank you
Hi S! Heart palpitations during exercise is not normal! Please see a doctor and get medical advice before continuing! It's better to be safe when it comes to our health!
wow. Good detailed review.
@@Quantum_Physics123 Thanks so much! 👊🏽

Getting my shoes on discount is always cause for celebration, no matter what you use them for! 🥳
Binging Matt B this morning! First!
Well played! You’re on the ball! 💫🤩

I often wonder at the colorways that get sent out! You'd think they'd send their very best, but so often it's just the boring colors! 🤣
Yeah, that blue ugly colour……. Can’t.
They are trainers to run in, not going to the bar to pull chicks. Get a grip

As we can see you are a hard overpronater! 7:29 shows that the form version really helps not against your overpronating. Sorry for that.
It’s all good. I’m not blind. 😂
