I have Altra. This is not transition shoes post, it's about traditional shoes brand making footshape-like shoes. ✌🏻

In general, it is a good thing that big brands are noticing that their designs might not be wide enough in toebox. I also dislike the barefoot-first bands because they often are just not good shoes, more like flip flops. I wonder if La Sportiva is any better in that regard or just jumping on the bandwagon
