Review: Provision 8 - I had a hip replacement 11 years ago and was advised by my surgeon not to run anymore. Over the last 6 years I have been wearing the Altra zero drop Impulse (2), Torin 4 & 5 , and Paradigm 6 "running" shoes for casual wear, fitness walking, gym workouts, and Timps for hiking. I generally get an estimated 350-400 miles out of a pair of Altras. Between the 23mm Impulse and (older) 28mm Torin and 30mm Paradigm I find my sweet spot "road shoe" stack height is 28mm for the best combination of cushion, flexibility, and a laterally stable foot platform for good balance on a flat surface and walking across a sloped surface. The Provision is in my sweet spot. In contrast to the neutral Torin, Altra describes the Provision 8 as a "soft stability" shoe. The Provision 8 has a nice wide natural toebox shape but narrows at the arch, and downright grips my heels to provide good comfort along with, and more importantly the lateral balance support I want without feeling overly tight. There is also a pronounced firmness in the lateral (outside) portion of the heel that the Paradigm "stability" shoes no longer have after 9 months (if they ever did). Time will tell but after a few miles of brisk "tire the dog out" fitness walking, I think they work for me.
Review: Another Outstanding Shoe by ALTRA! And, an Example of Outstanding desertcart Customer Service! - Another outstanding shoe by ALTRA. I bought these PROVISION 8's to replace my ALTRA Paradigm 8's, which I've worn out after about 4 years. I liked the Paradigm model very much, but I like this PROVISION model even more because the sole is a little bit firmer and therefore more stable than the Paradigm's, which, though comfortably soft, like walking on soft pillows, are too soft to maintain good balance, especially when doing one leg exercises. Lastly, I bought these at a greatly reduced price in early January, when desertcart indicated they were "currently unavailable", but promised that I could purchase them, and they would ship them and then process the purchase cost after they are delivered. I received a notice that estimated delivery would be between last week of February and March 11 at the latest. On March 11, I signed on to desertcart to track if these shoes were 'out for delivery' and got an apology notice indicating that 'due to unforeseen circumstances the shipment/delivery would be delayed about a week at most.' Well, kudos to desertcart, because they must notice or keep track of such service interruptions, because I signed on to desertcart on Friday March 13th, rather disappointed, upset, and ready to call desertcart support to wage a complaint about the shipment failure etc., and just cancel the order, because I was anticipating these new ALTRA's to arrive in time before the soles on my old ones completely wore out, which they had. However, much to my pleasant surprise, when I checked the tracking, it said the shoes would be delivered in early afternoon Saturday the 14th. Wow! They shipped them 2-day Air and I had them on my feet and went walking in them later Saturday afternoon. Thank you, desertcart, for the commitment to excellent customer service and satisfaction!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for what it is intended for, road runners.
*by M***R on September 17, 2025*

The Provision 8's are clearly not the same versatile shoe as the Provision 7 is. While the 7's were good for both trail and road, the 8 is strictly a road shoe. That versatility is important to me. The tread is not as deep or aggressive, Not as grippy on slick pavement either. My new Prov8 is also about 1/4" longer than my Prov7 is. That said, a very comfortable and supportive shoe for my "tripod" feet. I continue to love all my Altra's. they last me about a year, can't run much this year due to injuries, but as they wear out, they make great yard, and driving shoes.
