How it ranks
The Altra Provision 1.5 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Comfort and value are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the Provision product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Decent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
26/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 2 runner ratings.
