Here is my full review of the Altra Adam.What do you think of the Adam? What do you use it for? http://obsessiverunner.blogspot.com/2011/11/altra-adam-review.html
buzzie said:Offhand, I found the straps to be excessive and disappointing - all Velcro, they're inflexible, unlike the stretchy rest of the upper. I think these would do well with straps similar to those on the Hattori... if, in fact, straps are necessary at all. (I tend to set straps so that they won't engage, even at max range.)
FWIW, Nyah, I would be opposed to the addition of a heel strap! (Especially of the rigid, inflexible and unstretchy velcro sort found on the current iteration of the shoe.)
