I'm overjoyed to have found this Substack! I couldn't agree more that lack of cushion doesn't work with modern living of walking 10,000+ steps on concrete, and I myself can't seem to find anything more comfortable than my Altra's - no surprise they are doing so well! I have noticed though that they have failed to restock women's wide in most of their models, which is such a shame :(

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear my Substack has resonated with you. 😊

That's disappointing Altra isn't stocking the wider widths in women's sizing. There does seem to be a perception in the footwear industry that women have narrower feet than men. Whether that's true or not I'm not sure, but I do know that a considerable number of women are cramming their feet into shoes that are too narrow for them.
