Altra Running Shoe Giveaway [CLOSED]

Altra sent me a pair of DELILAHS to review and they are also going to give a pair to YOU!!!  I have been wearing these shoes for the last few weeks for everything from running to kickboxing to going to Costco and overall I can tell you honestly that my feet are in heaven in these shoes.  Added bonus is that they have purple on them (or pink if you want) and it’s the little things in life like this that make everything so great.

Altra is known for their drop zero specialized shoes and you can hear all about the amazing benefits of drop zero here:

Like all of Altra’s female shoes, the Delilahs are designed specifically for the woman’s foot.  They are a minimalist shoe. I am really enjoying using them on all of my training runs, I haven’t raced in them yet but I can’t wait to try them out in my next half.

I was a little worried to run in the cold or in areas with rocks with these shoes but in both circumstances the Delilah offers a great protection and they are very durable.

They only weigh 6.5 oz which means you aren’t carrying as much weight around as you would with a normal running shoe which for me =more energy used towards speed!

I have loved my previous Altra running shoes and I am in love with the Delilahs!  Hope you win!!

Giveaway will end on March 24th, 2012.

PS Men, you can enter in to win the SAMSON!!!

i would love to try a pair of zero drop shoes – and if these are janae approved – they must be awesome! oh, and definitely a marathon… once i get used to the drop :)

Reply

I’d like to win because I’m curious about how walking/running in zero drop shoes feels. I have no idea what distance I’d run with them since I’m not a runner, but I have a feeling they’d make me start exercising at least from time to time. :)

Cute shoes!! I would like a pair of Delilahs to alternate with my other running shoes. I am working towards an ultra (hopefully) so I’m increasing my mileage. Alternating shoes would help me prevent injury…I don’t want to get injured!! Do you think they would work as a half marathon racing shoe?? =)

Reply

I have gotten more serious with my running over the last several months, to the point that I signed up for my first mini-marathon in april…YIKES!!!

25 years ago I taught my daughter to run and we ran together- a wonderful time together then 10 years ago I had to switch to negative/zero type shoes due to toe problems (Brinkenstocks and nothing else). THEN – my daughter told me about the zero drop running shoes! I checked it out with my PT and Dr and it’s a go! Perfect! There is a shoe that is now made so I can run again! I would love to be able to run again with my daughter for she continues to be a serious runner. If I had a pair of the Delilah’s – I could run again! and not only run with my daughter but with my granddaughter too. It would be so grand if all three of us run together….. family – running.

I’d love a new pair of Altra Delilahs because I’m currently in the market for a new shoe. Leg pain took me out of running for 18 months (and thrust me into physical therapy for 3x a week for 6 of those months). Although I’ve been running again for a couple months, I’m still looking for a shoe that doesn’t result in leg pain. I’m hoping that a minimalist shoe will do the trick!!

Oh, and I’d love to run my next half marathon in them and break my current PR. Fingers crossed for a sub-1:45 next time!

Reply

I would love to win these shoes. I need new running shoes as my current ones are starting to hurt my feet and are pretty worn after wearing them for nearly 9 months, but it seems like every paycheck some new bill or something happens that requires me to spend shoe money on something else, so I keep having to say, next paycheck.

Reply

I’m newly pregnant and planning to run through my pregnancy! I want to support my body as best as I can, and will have plenty of extra weight on board without adding more from my shoes. I’d love to try the Deliliahs!

Reply

I would want them because my nikes I have been wearing have actually given me a blister on the the bottom of my ring (? appropriate for toes?) toe. I would love some new kicks!

Reply

I would love to give them a try. I’ve been wanting to give minimalist running a try, but cant justify buying a pair of shoes without my usual support . I would love to break them in for before my half marathon in June!

Reply

I would love to try these for my half-marathon training! I’ve also heard zero drop is good for strength training, so I’ve been looking around for a good pair.

Reply

I am currently running in a pair of Saucony Kinvaras and would like to make the jump from low drop to no drop. I would use these shoes (the Sampsons) for every run up to the half marathon distance.

I have been dying to try a minimalist shoe! I would use them for my first outdoor run of the season, since the sun is coming up earlier and setting later!

Reply

Oh pick me pick me pick me. I need new shoes because I am going to be training for a full marathon. My first! A new pair of kicks would definitely motivate me. Especially since they are pink and purple. love love love that!
I may not run the race in them but they would be PERFECT for my training!

I would love to try these shoes! I’ve never ran in minimalist sneakers and think these would be great to try.

Reply

While I don’t NEED a new pair of shoes yet.. I so desperately want one! I’m a newbie runner so my favorite distance is the 5k (I’m managing :) )

Reply

I could use a pair of lightweight shoes for racing, and these would be great for my upcoming hometown 8k!

Reply

After reading Born to Run I really wanted to try barefoot running. Only I don’t want to get the stares that come with it, nor do I really care to run the Vibram shoes. I like the idea of Altra’s shoes. Natural, but still shoes. And I must say that I’m really liking the colorful laces that come with them!

Reply

My stroller is getting heavy with my 28 pound 18 month old! I could use a decrease is weight anywhere I can take it!
I would run my upcoming Rutgers 8k in them

Reply

I love running, but can never seen to find the right pair of shoes for my feet. I always get shin splints! It’s time for the right pair of running shoes and these look like they might just be the ones ;]

Reply

I only own one pair of running shoes, it would be sweet to have another pair to rotate through. I have run several marathons because I like the challenge. However, I would love to run a half in those shoes because halves are so much fun!

Reply

Ohhhhhh’ I have never tried Altras runners and my current Sauconys are getting worn! I would have to say my favorite running distance is 8 miles, seems long and satisfying without too much of a time commitment- so my perfect run in them would be 8 miles. =D

Reply

I am about to run my 5th half marathon in a few weeks, and then it’s time for some new shoes. I would love to give minimalists shoes a try. And my favorite running distance – obviously, 13.1 :)

Reply

I reaaaaallly want a lightweight shoe to train in! And these look like they would be perfect. I would start out with smaller distance and see if my feet could work a half in them.

Reply

I’d love to own a pair of altras because they are made especially for women and they have a wide footbed – I haven’t been able to wear lightweight womens shoes because wides just aren’t made in racing flats for womens! Would be especially nice to race in a girly shoe instead of having to wear mens shoes all of the time.

I tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/RunningWTG/status/182977709109030912

Reply

I feel like I’ve been stuck in the same shoes for over 2 years, but am hesitant to try something new. I’d love to give these a try. And for me it’s a no brainer on the running distance – I love half marathons, so it’s definitely 13.1 miles!

Reply

I would love to try out a pair of minimalists shoes!

Reply

Would love a new pair of running shoes! I’ve never tried minimalist shoes before but am a firm believer that there should be a first time for everything :)

I’ve tried different zero drop shoes before and those are way cuter than the ones I’ve previously tried! I like running in zero drop shoes, but my absolute favorite workout is speedwork with zero drop. So fun.

Reply

I would love to try a pair of Altra Delilahs. Since I am just getting over a stress fracture in my foot I am trying to find the perfect shoe for me…..and maybe this one is it :)

Reply

i love half marathons for races…and then the standard ol’ 5 miles for my regular weekly runs. Someday I would love to increase this but right now I’m proud of myself for keeping to that routine 4 times a week….now the altra’s would be awesome because i’m a broke joke and need to always be thoughtful in my running shoe purchases! Free shoes fit in my budget.

Reply

i think these would be perfect for a 10k and i have a few 10k’s coming up ;)

Reply

I would love to use the altra’s for training for shorter distances – 5ks and 10ks.

Reply

Those are so cute! I really want to try a pair of more minimalist running shoes, but I can’t justify spending the money on them when I just bought a perfectly good pair of Asics.

Reply

I love your blog, so motivating!! I have ran several half marathons( my favorite race). My husband and 17 year old son have decided to starting training for their first half marathon, I have had to buy shoes for both of them and haven’t been able to get new ones for myself. I have put way to many miles on my own and am in desperate need of a new pair. We are running the Ogden half , such a great race. They really feed you well during and after.

I would wear those shoes during my California Classic Weekend…I am doing a century bike ride on May 19th and then a half marathon the next day! After a long day of big hills, I need some light kicks for the 13 mile trek:) And would even sing that Delilah song to them.

I discovered minimalist running shoes a year ago and they have changed my life! I’ve been running in trail shoes and they’re a little stiff. I would love to be able to feel the ground more as I run. Plus, after a year of running in minimalist shoes my toes splay more now and I need a wider toe box. The Altra Delilahs seem like they are perfect on all accounts!

I just completed my first half marathon and can’t wait to do another one. I am always looking for a way to train better and run faster! Would love to try these to see if they can help my decrease my time in my next race!

My run happy moment was when I finally realized I truly am a runner, and not just somebody who runs. Its amazing how liberating that is!

Reply

I am running the Riverton Half on March 22nd here in Utah and I would love to try Altra’s in my training leading up to this race. Plus any product you you recommend (especially if it is food) is always awesome!!
