Everything. I wear either Altra (or more minimalist shoes) for basically everything. Old running shoes become daily casuals or walking shoes. Old trail runners end up as yardwork shoes.

Once you go with zero drop, most other shoes feel like high heels.

A lot of people say they take some getting used to, but I didn't have issues. For running they definitely encourage a midfoot strike instead of landing on your heel, but IMO that's like talking about how a chair makes you sit up straight — not a critique, a feature

Zero drop is still up for debate. There is no scientific evidence in either direction to definitively prove or disprove a benefit. Plenty of positive anecdotes from die hard fans but the fastest marathoners are still ran and trained on traditional high drop shoes.

That being said, zero drop cushioned or minimalist are not for beginners. If you don't regularly log more than 15-20mi per week for at least 2 years, I would not recommend them. They can cause a lot of joint pain and plantar fasciitis especially if you are on the heavier side.

Quote from kgabrielson26 :
Rivera is comfortable as well but I wouldn't recommend it due to it not being durable at all. Mine have really bad wear on the soles with < 175 miles. Also the upper has no rigidity and they feel like you'll break through it on tight turns. Remind me of the old Nike Frees. Now I've relegated them to be walking shoes only which they're good for.
I have to agree. I got a pair of Rivera as well, and they wore out after 2, maybe 3 months. This was also from me only putting about 25-ish miles on them per week. Very comfy though
