I'm a heavily overpronating, 6'2", 200 lb amateur runner who usually runs about 4-6 miles, around 8:30 pace- not a competitor, just enjoying nature and cardio health. History of PFS. I was using the Provision 3.5 and they were like a magic bullet, baby-bear shoe. Just the right amount of support and guidance for pronation but good stability and not too much cushion or mush. Unable to buy any more of the outgoing 3.5's in my size, I caved and bought these. I'm impressed with how well the gimmicky-looking upper lacing wrap-around-fingers actually work- they're very comfortable once laced. I love the Altra toe box I love the zero drop configuration. I'm not impressed with how much additional cushioning these have versus the 3.5- it all seems to have come at the cost of stability. They are less responsive, give less road feel and seem to rebound less energy back. I should add that I'm not comparing a worn out pair of the 3.5 against the 4.0. I have a control for this since I have a pair of 3.5s in near-new condition for comparison purposes in making these statements (one of the tread blocks fell off the sole and Altra was good enough to send me a replacement pair, and I kept the original pair in a box) Hopefully a return to form is in the works already or I'll be inclined to start looking at H*kas and GT2000s
The Provision 4.0 is NOT like the older Provision models. The sole has less give, and it's clunker, and the new internal lace system is bulky and reduces stability. I tried these shoes for 100 miles...hoping against hope that I could just break them in, but they never improved. I finally gave up after experiencing ankle pain. I love Altra's toe box and zero drop, so I'll have to find another model. As for the Provision, unless Altra reworks the newer model to be more like the older model, I'm done.
I have been running in the Altra Provisions for a long time, maybe the 1.5 model. I still have the I run 6 half marathons a year and have done them in different Provision models. The current model causes knee pain with in the first 6 miles of a run and are not that comfortable and they lasted less than 200 miles. The old versions I never had an issue with and have model 2.0, wear them around town as I have retired them from running. The old versions were not broken, so please bring them back. I need the stability and the miles per shoe. It was not broken so don't fix it. try asking your customers what they would like to see changed, not just a few of your running/racing team
I owned four pairs of the last model. I absolutely loved them! This years, however, is a different story. The weird lacing "fingers" that come across the top of the foot are horrible. It makes the shoe fit different, makes it more difficult to loosen the laces, and the middle one pulls out of the retention strap and doesn't slide back into the shoe like it should. I have no clue why Altra decided to mess with this. The shoe fits like it should and still serves the purpose it is intended for. Overall, very disappointed.
I was hoping to get a lot more miles out of these shoes, but wearing them is just too expensive. It took me way too long to troubleshoot the cause for a few pair of balega socks suddenly developing holes. It wasn't until I replaced those socks with new ones, and those had holes in the heels that my entire heel could stick out of within a few weeks of getting them that I realized my Altra Provision 4s were to blame. I am still unsure of which part of the design that let me down, but I do know that these shoes pick up loose gravel from the ends of driveways way to easy. Just this morning, on my final run with these gravel eaters, I picked up a rock, that I could feel with each step but couldn't pull out. It stayed with me the entire run (it took pliers to remove the rock, that's how far up into the foam it embedded itself). The soft foam just sucks up those tiny rocks and doesn't let them go, and removing the rocks just leaves tiny holes which help the shoes pick up more rocks on the next run and allow even smaller rocks to get into the inside of the shoe too. Which leads me to my next complaint, I have also been finding tiny rocks getting stuck under the little internal sock liner, just below the insole-insert. My guess is that it was a combination of rocks under the insoles and rocks being embedded in the bottoms of the shoes that destroyed 4 good pair of socks over the course of a few months
I've worn about half a dozen Provision 3s and 3.5s for several marathon training cycles. I was excited to try this one though it was clearly changed substantially. No matter how they were laced my heels slipped. It seemed they tried to trim wherever they could but the back is too low and doesn't cup the heel. I tried a heel lock and still no luck. Just to be clear I'm a wide in some shoes. I don't have narrow feet and all the other Provisions fit so well. I returned these and bought an older model but those are starting to disappear in my size. Please Altra, listen to others. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I loved the last three versions of the Provision. I've been wearing the Provision exclusively for 3 years. They all provided awesome stability. Unfortunately, the Provision 4 is more narrow through the heel and much more flexible. The lack of stability is a no go for me. Also not a fan of the lace tabs and floating tongue.
My first run my heel rubbed the stability plate causing a blister on both heels. I tried changing the lacing up and the shoe string broke. This is my 4th pair of altras, i was really surprised. Im going to give them one more try then decide if i need to find another shoe
I've been wearing provisions since they came out and this shoe looks and feels good. I actually love the rippled bottom and the feeling on my feet. However the upper lace eyelet is detached so it can try and wrap the foot. The issue is the thick pad which is painful while running. I've tried everything to adjust it and even move the tongue to the side so it doesn't make contact with my foot. Unfortunately I have to try to return the shoes and look for a provision replacement.
Comfortable, although very poor quality for expensive shoe. I walk in mine in the office 2x's week, never ran, or hiked in these. Right side began tearing due mesh touching rubber on one shoe near little toe. I'm not satisfied. I did write the customer service and they asked me to do way too much stuff. I did sent them pics. We'll see what they do. Another brand is definitely where I'm going next. Thanks
