In the last 7 weeks, I have run 10 half marathons! 9 of those were run in the Altra Intuition 1.5.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’ve been on the search for the “perfect” shoe. I’ve gone from a standard high drop shoe all the way down to the Vibram Five Fingers and now I’m on my way back to cushion. While I’ve come to the conclusion that there really is no perfect shoe, I’ve found that the Altra Intuition is definitely the best for my feet.
Why? Because of the combination of Zero Drop and cushioning.
From their website:
Altra shoes are unique in the marketplace because they combine a zero drop sole and barefoot foot positioning with the structure and cushioning of a traditional running shoe. ALTRA’s core running and trail shoes come with a complete three-layer cushioning system: a full rubber outsole, a 12 mm fully cushioned midsole, and a 5mm insole. In total, Altra’s 21 mm cushioning is on par with durable training shoes and provides two to five times the protection of a typical minimalist shoe. Altra shoes durable are enough for runners to train and complete even ultra marathons in the same pair.
Altra shoes eschew the standard mix of rubber and EVA for their outsole. Instead, they offer a full rubber outsole, which offers excellent stability and far more durability than EVA outsoles. The sleek sole enables runners to sense the ground under their feet, without interference.
I loved the zero drop minimalist shoes, but found that I couldn’t run long runs in them. After running a half marathon in Vibrams and not being able to walk for days due to the damage to my feet, I knew I had to try something different. I began an era of experimentation where I tried many of the zero and 4mm drop more cushioned shoes. Somewhere along the way, I developed a Morton’s neuroma in my right foot which meant any run had the potential to be painful and every run over 8 miles made me limp. After a lot of trial and error, I realized the pain was less frequent in the Altras, so I bought a second pair and started running most of my 5+ mile runs in them. Slowly but surely, the neuroma healed. I credit the Altras (and my podiatrist agrees with me). The wide, flat forefoot allowed my foot to move how it needed to move.
I admit it. I’m a total convert.
What I love about these shoes:
- Zero drop helps me land midfoot
- The cushioning – I run mostly on pavement, so minimalist shoes were just not working for me
- The wider forefoot – my toes splay out a lot and this forefoot size allows my feet to spread out
- A wider, flatter base – the podiatrist said that this is what is helping my Morton’s Neuroma – I’m landing on the whole spread out forefoot instead of on one area (yeah, the scientific explanation is eluding me right now…)
And I just recently got the new version to try out: the Altra Intuition 2. Preliminary runs suggest that these too are a keeper, even if my kids do say they look like Buzz Lightyear’s shoes!
Want to give a pair a try? Altra has agreed to provide one winner the pair of their choice!

I saw the news bout Vibrams yesterday and thought of you…. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/05/08/say-it-aint-so-vibram-say-it-aint-so/
I wish your giveaways were good across the pond! 🙂
You know, I liked them. Still do. I just can’t run major miles in them on the paved surfaces I run on. {{{shrug}}} Maybe the claims were exaggerated, but I know plenty of runners who love them.
These are adorable! I am currently training for my first 1/2. 🙂 I may need to get some advice. 🙂
I’m running the Cleveland Marathon next weekend and my oldest son is doing the 10K.
My next race is the Foam Fest 5K! It’s so fun and I encourage everyone to join in!
Priscilla recently posted…The Wrong Message

After coming off of a heavy spring load of races, I am shorting it to a 5k in two weeks. One in a winery! I am very excited!
Amy recently posted…Broad Street Run!
5k at a winery? I could get behind that! What winery?
My next race isn’t until August but I plan on changing that soon and signing up for a few 5k’s!
This is a good time of year for 5ks. Short and sweet.
Maybe a 10k too! 🙂

I’m doing a See Jane Run half marathon in September, but I’ll probably do a random 5k sometime before that.
I want to do one of those, but I don’t think there are any near here…
I am running Saturday night at the Mayfair by the Lake 5K in Lakeland Florida
MB Jackson recently posted…Part 2- Everything is bigger in Texas!
Have fun! Hope it’s not too hot!
As much as I’d like free shoes, I think I’d hurt myself in minimalist shoes since I already have so many issues with my calves. =( Since you tried the Vibrams, are you getting in on that lawsuit that’s going on? You could use the $$ to buy new Altras! =)
Diana recently posted…I Am What I Am
These aren’t really minimalist – quite cushioned, actually – but they are 0 mm drop, which is where calf issues can occur, so probably a good idea.
I still like my Vibrams. I just can’t run long distances in them.
I meant 0 drop – I guess to me that’s minimalist. Maybe I need to Google the actual definition of minimalist. LOL I basically just meant a shoe without the big heel build up. =)
Diana recently posted…I Am What I Am
It’s only been in the last year or so that you’ve been able to get 0 drop with cushion. And they both cause issues if you aren’t used to them, but a lot of people who can’t (or don’t want to) run minimalist can run in these shoes. But I totally respect the not wanting to get injured. Injury sucks!
My next race is a local 5k on Sunday, the BA5k.

I just finished a half marathon last weekend, so my next race is a 5k in June in the Northern woods of Wisconsin!
Cool! I’m running the Madison Mini this year. Can’t wait!
My next race is June 1st; a half marathon in Saltillo, Mexico. It’s the 3rd year I’ve done the race and it’s one of my favorites 🙂
10 halfs in 7 weeks… you’re amazing! Hmm, not sure what my next race will be as I just began the third trimester. I’m hoping to do a few more 5ks, and then my first “real” race back will probably be the Philly half.
I’d love to try the Altras!

I am running the Miles for Moffitt 5k in Tampa tomorrow with my mom and I have 2 half marathons planned for December. I LOVE ALTRA!!! I have the Lone Peaks and the Intuition 1.5. I just read up on the One² and I would most definitely choose those!
Sounds fun! What do you think of the Lone Peaks? I really want to try the One2, but I’ve got three nearly new pairs of Intuition right now…
I prefer the Intuitions but the Lone Peaks are really great for trails. They provide great traction and drain well. I even wore them at my last mud run and they felt super grippy when running up the incline walls. It’s so hard to decide between all of their shoes. I’ve even been eyeing the Olympus because I’m a sucker for trends and I really want to know what this whole maximalist thing is really about. But I also want the One². And the new Intuitions. And maybe the new Lone Peaks. Sigh. I guess I just have to get better at running so maybe one day I could be sponsored. Lol 🙂
My next road race is the Chicago Spring half next weekend. My next “other” race is my second super sprint tri on Sunday 🙂

I’m doing a smaller half marathon in Maryland about a month from now. My next big race is the Baltimore Marathon in October 🙂

It’s kind of an addiction. Plus, when you do five in five days, it knocks out a bunch at once LOL. Oh, and I’ll add you to the VA blog list.
Wow, I also believe I have Morton’s neuroma and haven’t found shoes that really help it. Maybe I’ll look into a pair of these!
They’ve totally helped and the dr. liked how they were designed.

I am dying to register for a race, but I’m recovering from an injury (pulled calf muscle) that happened 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t run in the race I was supposed to do today! Such a bummer. But I’m optimistic I’ll get better. And then I’ll be registering for something, probably a half-marathon TBD.

I’m still getting over an injury, so I don’t have any races on the horizon. I’m just taking it slowly and doing it for me at the moment. 🙂
I love zero drop, but find a bit more cushion crucial for pavement running! I would love to see how a pair of intuitions fit with my goal of longer runs.
My next race is in July
I am not sure when my next race will be, we are focusing on job/house search right now. Three kids and everything going. So probably in the spring. Seems like a long time.
