I’m done with Altra shoes- Timp 4 blowout (hello Topo Ultraventure Pro!) 

This is one of the reasons i wear boots. Shoes seem great but they just don't hold up. Good luck with new shoes. Would enjoy an update on them after about 500 miles.

Now i am convinced about the problem of Altra. Plans of buying Altra now zero! Tnx

Those are some gnarly looking shoes alright..🦊

I’m on my second pair of Topo Ultraventure’s. My favorite shoe was the Timp 2, but Altra has really taken their eye off the ball. My first pair of Ultraventure’s were comfortable for about 400 miles. They are more durable than Altra’s, but for me the cushioning compresses quicker.

Screw Altra, very weak argument Amazon being a non-authorized dealer. So does that mean the shoes are not worth standing behind?

I will say, ultralight is something I've tried for my feet and altras are the worst at the moment. I think they are coasting on earlier good reviews like HMG, but they quality has significantly dropped. Back to Hokas for me!
