 So far so good.
 
By arroyojuanp (Tampa, FL) on Nov 19, 2011
I developed some blisters during the first week, but after the brake in they feel extremely comfortable. I am not just doing trail running in them, I also use the Adams as my everyday shoes. I don’t use the provided footbed or insole because I want to feel as much as “barefoot/minimalist” as possibl... (Read more)

 Favorite shoes
 
By Johnny (Duncansville, PA) on Nov 19, 2011
I love these shoes. I feel like I am barefoot when wearing them. The stitching holding the fabric on the front of one shoe came apart after a week but doesn't effect the functionality of the product.

 The Adam -- Quite original, and no sinner
 
By Clark (Southern New Jersey) on Nov 19, 2011
I run strictly barefoot in the warmer months (7-8 months), and typically with Vibramm FFs in colder weather (in NJ outside of Philadelphia). I also used VFFs when working out in the gym. (If you're not getting the entire musculoskeletal structures in your feet involved when resistance training, ... (Read more)

 Best damn running shoes ever.
 
By nilmethod (Siloam Springs, AR) on Nov 19, 2011
Headline says it all. These shoes are a dream to run in. They're the next best thing to being barefoot.

 great shoe with a few problems
 
By Ferg (Missouri) on Nov 19, 2011
This is a nice shoe that i have enjoyed running in. It is the first minimalist shoe i have worn, and over the last few month i have progressed to being able to run 14 miles in them. I have had a few issues with them. The soles on one began separating from the upper within the first 20 miles that ... (Read more)

 Good start
 
By Sooner minimalist (San Antonio, TX) on Nov 19, 2011
I love the look and feel of the shoe. But the stitching has started to come undone on the exterior instep of the right shoe. Since I've had the shoe for only a week, that's concerning. I have contacted customer support and am hoping a replacement pair will be on the way soon.

 Love my Adams!
 
By Bushidokop (Chickasha, OK) on Nov 20, 2011
My Adams were definitely worth the wait. I held off as long as I could as I waited month after month for Altra to finally get them out... tempted many times to go with another minimalist shoe. But now these are my "go to" shoe for everything, be it running roads, trails, HIIT training on a track,... (Read more)

 Super comfortable, great feedback
 
By RayRunsTrails (Northern California) on Nov 20, 2011
Pros- Extra wide toe box, great ground feedback while having minimal protection and grip on the ground. I prefer straps to laces, less clutter. Look great also. Easy to clean, I just hose them off & let them air dry. Cons- Compared to the interior material (w/& without the provided inserts) of V... (Read more)

 Almost Perfect
 
By Viper (Akron, OH) on Nov 21, 2011
My pair of Altra Adams arrived at the beginning of September 2011, and my first impressions were very positive. I have since logged 100 miles in the shoes, including the Akron Marathon. I've run long and short distances, and in dry and wet conditions. I've run on roads, multi-purpose paths, and roug... (Read more)
