With the change in sole comes a change New Balance 996 cheap sale in purpose for this shoe. The original Altra The One was more a firm racing flat, whereas the One2 is more of a lightweight trainer/distance racer. This isn¡¯t a shoe I¡¯d choose for my next 5K, but it¡¯s a shoe I¡¯d definitely consider for a marathon. I did do a few sprints in them at the end of one of my runs, and they were fine, but top speed is not what this shoe is built for.
The outsole of the Zante is full coverage rubber ¨C as a result, I expect durability should be decent.
I personally think Altra would have been wiser to release this shoe as a new model and retain The One as a speed shoe/racing flat ¨C I¡¯m not sure of the reason behind their thinking with going the update route instead (Update: just got an email from Golden Harper about this, I think the idea is that the 3-Sum will continue to New Balance 574 mens sale be the racing flat and will become less a Tri-specific shoe; it is on the same sole as the original The One). It¡¯s surely a shoe that will appeal to a broader audience than the original The One, and I think the hope is that if it and the other new shoes/updates in the Altra lineup sell well, they can start adding back in more niche shoes at the more minimal end.
New Balance ¡°updated¡± the MT101 in the form of the MT110, but the reality is that the 110 was a very different shoe. New last shape, firmer feel, just not the same shoe. And some portion of the MT110¡¯s that were released were built up excessively under the lateral forefoot, leading to a slanted sole that my posterior tibial tendons did not like.
Unlike the marketing for the 980, I¡¯d say they are pretty spot-on in describing the Zante. It¡¯s like a sleeker, better fitting version of the 980, and I¡¯ve really enjoyed running in them.
I¡¯ve seen a lot of commentary from Altra fans complaining about the move to greater cushioning. I¡¯ve seen others excited about the change. Personally, I¡¯d like to see both ends of the spectrum stay in play, but I also understand that the economics of the footwear business mean that tough decisions have to be made. Shoes that aren¡¯t selling either need to be New Balance 574 womens sale dropped or redesigned, and this is particularly true for a small company like Altra. The founders of Altra believe in minimal footwear (though they are quick to say they are not a minimal company, and I agree), and if a market exists for such shoes they will be players (I¡¯ve even heard they may have a new minimal shoe in the works). Altra¡¯s philosophy is that if people want cushioned shoes, let¡¯s at least give them the option of zero drop and a wide toebox ¨C these are the feature New Balance 990 sale online s that Altra has stayed true to from the very beginning. _________________ yes |
