I like Altras. I've only used the max.-cushioned Olympus models. But, the heel area midsole has broken down very early on almost every pair I used. This is my first pair of Hokas. They sort of started the super cushioned trend. Not zero drop, but a small drop and like the Altras it pushes you towards a mid foot strike. So far, they appear much sturdier in the midsole.Hi @trailspud - how did you like the Altras and how do the Hokas compare? I still love my Newtons but was thinking about trying the Altras. I like that most of them have a 0mm drop. Haven't heard much about the Hokas but they look like they'd add at least an inch of height. At a hair over 5' (if I stretch), that's not necessarily a bad thing!
Thanks for the info. I need to catch up on your thread and Bonnie's.Bonnie Runa42K is running a marathon in Portland soon! I can't imagine running 26 miles.[emoji15]
