I am full on Altra anymore. It is a major pain in the ass that my running shoes all cost the same as my climbing shoes and wear out WAY faster. The carbon fiber plates are likely going to be in many shoes in the next couple of years but they may also get banned from racing. There is a heated discussion going on about the shoe tech and racing currently and I am sure there will be some stringent rules coming to sanctioned races.

Now if I could just get my ass out running again I would be good...
