- RunRepeat : 83.6 / 100 — « The Altra Experience Wild 3 is a clear step forward for the series, and we proved that Altra has addressed several of the issues we found in version 2. The biggest upgrade is the Vibram Megagrip outsole on the 3+ variant, which impressed us during testing with its excellent grip and durability, and should be the standard for every Wild. We also appreciated the more refined design, improved fit, and better overall construction. That said, we believe the shoe is still far from reaching its full potential, and we'd like to see Altra reduce its weight and introduce a bouncier foam in version 4. »
