It's a no.
The fit is alright, although they aren't as wide as they claim to be. Instead, the cover material tends to be very soft, too soft even, and although this can accommodate wider feet, it also makes one slip on the sole, which means your toes will be squashed. The shoes don't last, and considering that, they are madly expensive. Weeks to months and a toe may poke through a hole, or a seam opens up, or worse, the entire shape of the shoe gives in / collapses, and leaves one with no support, slipping on overly soft rubbery soles. The zero-drop sole would make sense, but the rubber material is so soft usually, that, because most of the body weight is carried on the heel of the foot, one constantly stands on a slope, facing slightly uphill. This can strain the achilles tendon immensely and is most unsuitable for running. I have tried to contact Altra various times via their website. The customer service is appallingly rude and does not reply at all in most cases. It's a nice concept, but overall, it's a terrible execution in every aspect that matters.
