Altra Men's Desert Boot Everyday Shoe

This shoe is very narrow in the forefoot for me, despite the roomy forefoot advertised on the box and me never really having a problem with shoes being too narrow. I'm not sure what's going on there, but it's simply too tight in an area that I've never had a problem with. I'm bummed about it too, because the shoes look great, offer a ton of cushioning and support, and are pretty much great in every other way. I'd recommend trying these to anyone because of their positive features, plus it doesn't seem others have the same issue I do.

I wear 11.5 for running shoes, 10.5-11 dress shoes. 11.5 in this shoe is slightly narrow despite the "foot shape" toebox. Toes are fine, just the width of the shoe could be a little wider. I have a Torin in 12 and a Lone Peak in 11.5. Both are fine width wise. Apart from the size issues, its my best "work" shoe ever! Comfy and easy to get in and out without untying laces! Hopefully the leather will stretch with time.

For reference purposes - I wear the Altra Provision 2.5 in size 11 and Altra Lone Peak 2 in size 10.5. This Desert Boot in size 11 fits comparably.I have just had the shoes for a few days, so I can't provide any wear info yet, but the shoe is generally comfortable so far. Plenty of room in the toes, but feels a little snug at the front on the inside of the forefoot, where the stitching is.

Shoes are super comfortable. Yes they are hot! But is winter, so they are working good, let see in summer. They are not square! But it’s ok, most people won’t notice. Biggest problem is you need a dedicated pair of socks or 2 if they are white, because they will get stained

The style was as shown, but as you can see, the laces are only at the top of the shoe. This means that you can't adjust how tight the shoe is lower down, in the toe area. For me, it was too tight across the tow box area. I had to return them.

Love these shoes, I'm bias, as I am a a long time Altra brand follower :) I have to think their products are very comfortable. Although some can benefit for improved. Just telling what I think.Thanks

At this price point, materials and fit-and-finish should be better. The shoe is comfortable, and it is one of the few zero drop shoes that actually has a substantial sole. I purchased the black suede version -- as others have pointed out, it will show dirt, so plan to brush the suede every so often and avoid mud.

The sole is starting to come apart after a year and an estimated 700 miles (just at work). The top wear is truly excellent. After all that time it still doesn't show wear. The design of the shoe makes it extremely comfortable to wear. The low heel means less knee pain and the wide toe means no toe pain. I'll buy another pair to replace these.

Great shoe, but a significantly smaller fit than my Altra Torins. Sent them back and will be getting a whole size bigger.
