Expert Review Sources

  • RoadTrailRun : 78.1 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 0.6 mm drop and weighing 235 g, the Altra Superior 7 pairs a fluid forefoot roll with leg-saving Altra EGO cushioning (235 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
  • RunRepeat : 78.6 / 100 — « The Altra Superior 7 is a clear step forward for the series, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much lighter and more flexible it feels at the same price. In our lab tests, we found that the major weight drop makes it feel more playful and natural than ever before. On our mountain runs and hikes, the low-stack, zero-drop platform delivered excellent ground feel, exactly what a Superior should provide. That said, we believe the firm foam and slightly tighter fit compared to other Altra models may limit its appeal for some runners. »
  • iRunFar : 75.5 / 100 — « Across our trail & montagne testing on trail, the Altra Superior 7 inspires confidence across technical trails and wet rock thanks to its biting outsole and Altra EGO protection (235 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
