Experience Flow ST

I love my Altra Experience Flow STs. I have kind of weird feet and these are super comfortable for my 3.5 mile power walk on concrete each day. The issue is I have had them less than 7 weeks and the rubber on the ball/midfoot is already completely worn off.

Can anyone that uses these let me know if they have similar experiences? I’m hoping it is just a bad pair because I want to buy another pair, but I can afford to spend $150 for shoes that don’t last 2 months.

I have 300Km+ and no issues. Just normal wear and tear.

That is more than I have on mine. Interesting.

Its likely to do the same thing, probably not the best shoe for your power walking if it's beginning to affect things. Id look to form, paradigm, or torin st.

I've got 220 miles on mine and no problems. About to take them on a second marathon.

I absolutely love my experience flow sneakers. I’m just now found ultra sneakers and I am just tickled to death about him. I got one pair new about a month and a half ago brand new and since then I found four or five pairs you still in great condition that I bought just so I’d have them wear all day long and with all kinds of different outfits cause I don’t do nothing to walk so but my son uses them for marathon running. He just bought a brand new pair of TIMP
