text: Best shoes ever.  After buying the Lone Peak 2.0s, I wanted to return to the 1.5s because they are my favorite shoe of all time - comfortable, fit like slippers.  I've been running for 17 years and these shoes are my absolute favorite and have completely changed my stride for the better.  I now land on the ball of my foot when running.<br /><br />It's worth noting that I don't find these shoes to be the best in slippery, wet conditions and they do seem to wear out faster than other running shoes.<br /><br />For those of you who have never worn Altras - they will feel a little too big in the toe box at first until your toes get used to all the room.
