I got an e-mail from the same guy but it seemed like spam so I never replied.

I have the Altra Intuitions and I really like them. Their new styles have caught my eye too. Glad you are in love with yours!

Those are really pretty! And if your feet love them that much, perfect combination of style and comfort. I've heard a couple of other people mention them before, but have never seen them in person.

Personally - the PureFlow line never worked for me - I have narrow ankles or something. Still love my Launch though. :)

That guy emailed me too!! And his picture showed up on the email since it was gmail, but I never responded.

Yay for a new solemate! They look comfy, and love the colors!

2013-03-24T18:37:43.847-06:00

Wow I have never heard of these shoes but so glad you found a pair you liked! I love my PureFlows, and I agree, the 2s are ok, but not quite as wonderful.

2013-03-22T19:29:31.562-06:00

I totally forgot about this but he totally emailed me too! He asked if he could write a post on preventing running and hiking injuries, which struck me as bizarre to begin with because they're two different things! He kepts referring to himself as "expert" too which was unusual. I responded, asking him a few details, and he never came back either. Let me know if you hear anything because that's BIZARRE!

Thanks Christy, I have a pair of the Brooks Pureflow 1 and love them. I've tried to find another on in my size but havent been able to find one. I tried the Pureflow 2 and they seem to fit different alot of room in the toe box. I am going to check out thise Altras. Thanks girl.

2013-03-22T16:29:43.472-06:00

This is such funny timing! Those are the exact shoes I plan to try next (still on my last two pairs of the original Pure Flows). I'm so glad you like them--makes me feel good about spending the money.

That guy Matthew Kyle contacted me, too, and I told him my blog was going away--didn't hear from him again. He never offered me a pair of shoes, though.

2013-03-22T15:53:13.086-06:00

Yay - glad you found a new shoe love. It stinks to love a shoe and then find the next version of it has changed so much.

How bizarre about the Altra guy!?!

2013-03-22T12:16:57.522-06:00

Ahhhh! No. Must. resist.

So tempting because I just bought 2 pairs of PureFlow 1's because I love them so much and I know that once they are worn out I will have to find something to replace them. You are not the first I have seen that says the PF2s just aren't the same. These look tempting, but I will resist because I'm still adjusting to the lower drop, and kicking it to zero might just completely break my calves at this point! I'm mentally taking note though! They are cute!

2013-03-22T11:27:29.247-06:00

I got the Provisioness and I love them, did a few races in them last year, and the Torris would be the next Altra shoes I would try. In the pink for sure!

2013-03-22T10:50:35.828-06:00

Same here with that Altra guy. I have the pure flow 2's and they are ok. No rubbing...but you are right, the heel slips. Maybe I should give the Altra a whirl? Hmmmmm...

haha Matthew contacted me too- wrote an article, and it was so bizarre and had no content that I told him I couldn't use it- haven't heard from him since

2013-03-22T09:53:58.465-06:00

I remember when this happened to me with the Brooks Adrenaline 12s! I ended up trying a million shoes and totally screwing up my achilles. Turns out I just need to go another half size up (so a full shoe size) for the 12s and now they are perfect. Go figure. I'm glad you found some shoes you love!

2013-03-22T09:43:42.268-06:00

First off, congrats on your new shoes.....I rock the intuitions and I CAN'T WAIT to get my foot in their extra cushioning cousins, the torins :) So glad you like them :) As for weirdo fake altra guy - never heard of him. I do a lot of work with Altra, though since I'm Canadian I know deal with Entrix Sports, the canadian distributor. However, let me just say that Jeremy, the american marketing guy for Altra is amazing.....but he takes a long time to get back to you. I'd follow up :) I actually thought he got sick of me and then MONTHS later he contacted me for a review, so I think Altra people are just extremely busy :)

Glad you like them!!!! PS: my virtual race is giving away 2 pairs of Altras ;) GET EXCITED!!!

I am really, really, REALLY sad to hear that the f...

2013-03-22T09:37:37.070-06:00

I am really, really, REALLY sad to hear that the flow 2's didn't work out for you. I'm on my last surviving pair of 1's, and I'm terrified to start over with a new shoe :( :( :(.

I was contacted by that guy, too, but never responded. Weird.

Talk about shoe envy!! I want a pair of Altra'...

2013-03-22T08:51:10.686-06:00

Talk about shoe envy!! I want a pair of Altra's. It's just no shoe stores around here carry them. I just bought my first pair of Brooks Pure Cadence. Actually my first pair of Brooks ever and I love them. They're a little more shoe than I would like which I think is why Altra might be suited better for me.

I actually contacted Altra do see if I could do a shoe review but haven't heard back.

2013-03-22T08:30:14.466-06:00

I got an email from him too, back in December. I never responded though. Sometimes I'm just not sure about those guest posts. I guess it wasn't a miss since he didn't even get back to you.

2013-03-22T07:38:14.826-06:00

There's a lady in my running team who wears Altras... She loves them. I may have to give them a try when I go in to get new shoes... but I don't think that I can ever part with my Brooks.

OOH I really like those yellow ones! Wow that is ...

2013-03-22T05:46:49.494-06:00

OOH I really like those yellow ones!

Wow that is VERY strange about that Mathew Kyle person, I wonder what on earth his affiliation was with the Altra company!

2013-03-22T05:37:33.109-06:00

Those are so pretty! Love the colors & so happy that you found a pair you LOVE! And already a half in them!? It's meant to be :-)
