The sale
LeftLane Sports is offering a huge sale on Altra Running Shoes —
check it out! Specifically, you can get the men’s Altra Adam (or the women’s Altra Eve) or the men’s Altra Instinct (or women’s Altra Intuition) running shoes for over 40% off!
You’ll recall that the Altra Adams (Eves) have been likened to a single-toe-box’ed version of the FiveFingers KSO due to their 3.4 mm razor siped rubber sole whereas the Altra Instinct (Intuition) is a zero-dropped running shoe with a bit more plush ride due to it’s foam sole, but with ample toe room and solid construction.
left to right is the Altra Intuition, Altra Instinct, Altra Adam, and Altra Eve
We’ve reviewed Altra a good bit over the past year. I found the Altra Adams to be
a pretty incredibly minimalist shoe with excellent ground feel. You’ll further recall that
BdayShoes blogger and ultrarunner
Rob cited the Instinct in his review as “[The] most comfortable road shoes I’ve ever worn in my 20+ years of running.” (Rob’s ultra-running wife is a big fan of the Intuitions, too.) Mind, Leah was
less than impressed with her Altra Eves.
If you’ve been on the fence about grabbing some Altras, this might be the nudge you need to give them a shot. If so, note that the Left Lane sale
goes live here on 6/27 (today) at 10AM EST (right now!) and will run until the morning of 7/3/2012 or until inventory runs out.
What’s 40+% off mean exactly? You can get a pair of Adams or Eves for $42.95 instead of the MSRP of $80 or a pair of Altra Instincts or Intuitions for $52.45 or $49.95, respectively. Not bad, right?

As for sizing, here are notes from Altra about sizing straight from
Altra’s website:
men’s Adam — The Adam runs true to size when worn with one of the included footbeds. Please order a 1/2 size smaller if you plan to wear without a footbed.
women’s Eve — The Eve runs true to size when worn with one of the included footbeds. Please order a 1/2 size smaller if you plan to wear without a footbed.
men’s Instinct — The Instinct runs slightly short in size. If you are between sizes please go up 1/2 size larger than your regular size.
women’s Intuition — They are sized more than a 1/2 size too small. If you prefer a snug fit, please order a 1/2 size larger than your regular running shoes.
So
check out the Altra sale here and
don’t forget the invite to get $10 of credit!

Good news, but I live in Europe and I have to pay $64.50 (¡!) for shipping… More than the shoes themselves…
LOL
Cheers!
End of last month I bought a pair of Instincts direct and “luckily’ they were a size too small, so I returned them. Now I bought a pair of each color for less than the price of one!
Just signed up through your link and bought the Adams, needless to say I am very excited since these will be my second pair of minimalist shoes (I have komodosports thanks to the review here)
🙁 Was interested in the Lone Peak, but that model isn’t available there.
I bought two pairs and saved over a hundred dollars(I was also able to use a 20% off deal they had going for the fourth). I have a pair of Instincts and really like running in them and needed a new pair. I also ordered the Adam to try out. Thanks for the heads up on this deal!
