Why We Like The Altra Rivera 3 Running Shoe
From training runs to shorter races, the Altra Rivera 3 Running Shoe keeps our stride feeling good. The platform's balanced foam and grid-like grooves let our feet roll naturally through transitions, while the roomy toe box lets our digits splay freely for greater balance and power. The Slim FootShape fit is leaned out heel to toe for a more performance-oriented fit that doesn't mess with our natural foot mechanics. As we stride, the soft yet responsive Altra EGO foam promises to send the energy from our strikes right back to us.

Third and Favorite Altra Shoe Purchase
This is my third style of Altra shoe I've purchased and so far is my favorite. I like how the toe box is still roomy but not as wide as other styles. Very breathable and dries quick when they get wet. One thing I don't love is that the shoelaces don't always stay tied unless I remember to double knot but that's a minor problem and easy fix.

I ran a 50 mile race in this shoe
I love this shoe. I have almost 400 miles on my current pair, and just finished a 50 mile road/trail race in them 2 weeks ago!

Tiny shoelaces
These are my 3rd pair of Altras and I'm disappointed. The laces are so short it's hard to tie them. And they untie while running because there just isn't enough lace to make the knot tight enough. Customer service suggested I buy new laces. So much research is done on these shoes and the product is faulty. I shouldn't have to buy new laces for brand new and expensive running shoes. Shoes are narrower than my old Torins and Lone Peaks but are still comfy. Love Altras but customer service get a zero.

Durable
I bought these because they were on sale, they weren't my first pair of Altras in this width but these are more narrow. The other pair I bought on the same day are the "same width" and same size but these were too tight across the forefoot. So why do I still give a 5 star review? Because I was able to give them to my 12 yo daughter whose feet are just a little bit bigger and they fit her great. She's really tough on shoes but so far they are holding up well. A lot of people complain about the shoe laces coming untied, they do. So you can either double knot them or just get a cheap replacement pair of laces from the grocery store. These last longer than all the Topos I've ever owned.

# 1 shoe
I have had 9 pairs of this shoe. It is the only shoe that I can wear with my bad ankles. It is lightweight, has arch support & fits well.

Why completely change the shoe width?
I don't understand why on earth shoe companies insist on completely changing the footprint of a shoe with a new model. I purchased the Rivera 3s because I liked the Rivera 2s, not because I wanted to try a completely different shoe. The Rivera 3s are so much narrower than the 2s that I'm unable to run in them. I guess the endless cycle of finding a shoe that I like just in time for the manufacturer to discontinue it or completely change it has begun again.

LOVE but don't like color options
LOVE THESE, have worn most Altras and these are by far my fav. Have to use a runner tie for them to not slip on heal. But please come out with some earth colors, greens, blue, terracotta!! Everything is so neon or pastel, I would love to see some earth tones again!

Will never buy another shoe brand
I had chronic hip pain for a year & tried a bunch of different shoes to help. This is my third pair of Rivera 3s and haven't had any hip pain in several months. They've changed my life, thank you!

Keep them as they were
I love Altra, mainly for the wide toe box. I find a style that fits perfectly(Torin). I Buy them for a couple of years, loving them. Then, they change the fit, make them more narrow....and change the cut on the side, causing ankle rub. Now, they don't work. I love the wide toe box so, let me try another...the Rivera...yes! Same cut on the sides as the old Torin...wide enough. I buy them for a couple of years. Then, viola, new model and they change them . So, now they don't fit. If you want to update the model, just change the colors. If you are going to change cut and fit, call them something else. This is so frustrating.
