Altra Experience Flow ST review: what runners say
Fit
Wide, roomy toe box, typical Altra: toes have space to splay. The ST model adds arch support compared to the neutral Flow; heel hold feels less secure after removal of the Achilles pads.
Feel
EGO P35 midsole is softer than previous versions: plush feel without being marshmallowy. Ground-connected ride, smooth transition but not propulsive; no pronounced responsiveness.
Durability
Thick rubber outsole borrowed from trail models, reported as solid with good grip. Expected mileage not quantified by sources.
Best for
Daily training at moderate pace, steady mileage. Suited for runners accustomed to the Altra fit or with wide feet; the ST variant for those seeking arch support or with unstable ankles.
Weak points
Ride considered too limited for uptempo efforts: lacks responsiveness and the rocker is mild. Some runners report less precise heel hold after removal of the internal heel pads.
