I wish I could say "yes" emphatically but this year there's been serious issues with the Running Warehouse returns department. They're still a good store to buy from but recent delays in processing returns and issuing refunds has irked me. If you need to return your shoes expect to wait 2-3 weeks for a refund. It can take 7-10 days just for their staff to get to your return package AFTER it's delivered to the warehouse,
This week I had to call to get my refund on a package that was delivered to their returns department back on November 28th. The phone customer rep was helpful. However, my earlier emails inquiring about missing/delayed refund went unanswered for 3 days. I experienced a similar delay back during the summer. Very frustrating. Their customer service used to be on point up until last year. Now it seems that they are in disarray and understaffed.

I'm a nurse and walk 5-10 miles daily. Purchased 3 pairs recently and rotate them everyday. These are my go to shoes now. Feet don't hurt! Prior to getting these shoes, I looked at inserts from the good feet store, but at $5,000 for the inserts that made my feet hurt horribly when just trying them on I quickly decided against those.
I will be purchasing these shoes again and this is an awesome price!
$5000 inserts? Did they surgically implant gold into your feet, lol?
I have ran 350 miles in the ATR6, 450 in the ATR5.
This is pretty versatile shoe. Works just fine for walking/running for both road and trail. I use this most commonly as a running road-to-trail hybrid, since the lugs aren't that aggressive. This shoe has lasted me quite well until 300 miles; the EVA foam has really packed down, although it lasted longer than the ATR5. The ATR5 was SO soft for the first 80-100 miles, and then crapped out. This ATR6 is definitely firmer, but has that Hoka softness.
However, this shoe really struggles on wet trails. Mud? Forget about it. The lugs are shallow. The outsole durometer is high. But it works great for the Californian winters or mild trails and gives good wear durability on roads.
Overall I'd recommend this shoe. I'm a 10.5 M in most shoes and this was no different, if that helps.
There's a 1.75ish mile stretch of bark dust on my half marathon trail (everything else is blacktop), and I can barely finish it in my Bondis, as my knees get super sore.
I'd prefer to just go the route I have, avoiding the bark requires me to run around a busy city block 4x.
Have you tried increasing cadence on the bark section?
The lugs are not aggressive on the ATR series. But I don't think there's a running shoe that excels on bark -- maybe a full-on trail shoe with a MegaGrip (or similar) outsole. But that comes with a weight penalty and MegaGrip wears FAST on road.
