Running

Altra build quality

I haven't had a new pair of Altras in over a year. The uppers on my trail shoes (both pairs approaching 1000 miles) have worn through in the same place that every single pair of my running shoes goes eventually, think they lasted about 500 miles before wearing through. Road shoes have held up well but they have less mileage in them I think, but still a decent amount.

Newer models might have suffered in quality but the only issue I have ever had is the uppers wearing through by the little toe. I think that's a foot shape issue for me as my toe tends to press into the fold where the shoe bends in pretty much any shoe.
