- Altra Women's Olympus 6 Trail-Running Shoes Khaki 8.5 by Altra — These are my go-to shoes when my feet are tired and need a little more cushion. When heading out for a second long run of a weekend, these are the shoes that I am putting on. They are still light, even with the additional sole, and have good grip on various terrain.
- Altra Women's Superior 6 Trail-Running Shoes Green 7 by Altra — My absolute favorite shoe. Superiors were the first shoe I ever put on and instantly loved. They are so comfortable, have a wide toe box, are zero drop, good grip, wear well (I put over 1,000 miles on one of my pairs), and I never have to break them in. I have gone on long runs and raced in brand-new pairs without any issues. The top of the shoe does seem to wear out before the tread.
- Altra Women's Superior 7 Trail-Running Shoes Black 8.5 by Altra — The new model of Superiors. Check out my description of Superior 6 for my take on this line of Altra shoes.
- Astral Women's Webber Sandals by Astral — I got my Astral sandals by happenstance and will be buying them again. The sandals are comfortable and can be worn in casual and semi-formal occasions. They are a great shoe to slip on after a run or for wearing on a walk. I like the way that the straps across the top are adjustable, making it easy to have a comfortable fit even when my feet are a little swollen from a race. I’ve had mine for two years now and they are in great shape still.
