These shoes have no response whatsoever! I have developed foot pains after a couple of runs in the OneV3.

This is a super comfortable show designed to give feet enough wiggle room for those long runs.

Great shoe for quasi minimalists

Anonymous runner · Sep 30, 2018

5/5

Overall

The One V3 is a really fun, comfortable zero drop shoe. It hugs the midfoot better than other Altra models in my experience. I have done plenty of 15+ mile runs as well as work at mile pace in these shoes as there is plenty of cushioning yet they are quite light and responsive.
