So Far So goodI was running in the Provision 6’s before I switched to these. There is a stark contrast between the two, and I’d say mostly for the better. The 8’s are a lot stiffer which I didn’t like at first, but they make for a more stable ride which is better for the support aspect of the shoe. It also helps to make a more powerful toe off. I like the toe box shape and the upper better on the 8’s. Every now and then with the 6’s my big toe would rub and get a minor blister. The outsole on the 8’s isn’t quite as grippy but it’s still high quality and doesn’t make the annoying scraping/squeaking sound that the outsole on the 6 does. The lace structure isn’t too bad. I don’t mind the added strap, but what I would like more is a better feeling of secureness around my ankle. The laces and shoe feels like it wraps down the foot instead of around the ankle at the top end, but I can still get it snug enough to feel locked in and secure in the shoe without feeling restricted. In the 6’s I felt like my foot could easily slip/slide around if it wasn’t tight enough so that thought stays in my head when I put on the 8’s. The color ways and overall aesthetic are also a lot better on the 8’s. I liked the 6’s but they were not a good looking shoe. The heel on the 8’s is solid. Firm enough to secure your foot, but soft enough to slip your foot in and out if you want to without ruining the shoe. In closing, I’ve only done a few runs in the Provision 8’s, but so far they’re a solid shoe and if they continue to perform well I might have to submit another review in the future with a 5 star rating.

Great 0 drop support shoeThis will be my 2nd pair of Provision 8s. They have just the right amount of cushion for short or long run days, and I appreciate the pronation support.

Nice simple shoe for walkingWe bought this shoe for my father in law who has a disability but can still walk slowly. The shoes are great for him with plenty of toe box room. He says they’re very comfortable

Solid, stable zero-drop trainersI previously had the Provision 6s, my first experience with zero-drop running. They helped my gait tremendously, and the Provision 8s continue to benefit my stride and comfort while running. This version feels more stable, keeping my feet and ankles from tracking farther out than they need to be. While they're a little heavy, they have a considerable amount of cushion below foot, so my feet have enjoyed them on runs up to 10 miles so far. Will continue to use them for middle-distance easy/moderate runs.

Altra Provision 8This shoe I decided to use and never thought of stability so overall it has been a very successful experience. There is adequate cushion but definetly not over the top of feel. The stability is very minimal but does the job of keeeping my form in check. There is minimal wear where the rubber meets the road, in fact from the reviews it is far better than what I read of breakdown, this shoe will give back plenty of miles of use.This is a worthy shoe for overall road performance, it puts my endeavors on mark.

Just not the sameDoes not cinch to the foot the way previous models did. The toe box also doesn’t seem to be as wide as earlier versions, and my toes feel cramped after running longer distances. I have been running in Altras for years, and things definitely seem to have changed over the last few iterations
