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!!!

Oh I would so love to win. I have heard so many great things about the Altras and would absolutely love the opportunity to try them.
Amy B
I’d love to try out those shoes for some shorter runs! I have been using shoes with an 8mm drop and I really like them so I’d like to try these out. Pluse, they are really cute!
Sandy
I would love to try these minimalist shoes. I am in need of a new pair of running shoes, and I have tried the Nike Free Run. I would love to run them in a 5K.
Kristina
Love the shoes super cute! I want to try them!
Elizabeth
I would love to try these- I’m a sucker for shoes, and I also need neutral shoes to pair with my orthodics. So, these sound perfect! I’d use them for short distances…i.e. 5k. Mostly, because that’s the distance I’m allowed to run for now! :)
Joanne P
I’ve never actually ran before but its on my list of goals for the year, to get in shape. I’m hoping to run a 5k in the next months. i’m seriously out of shape so I’m taking it slow.
Marina Chekhovskiy
I need new training shoes! I would love a pair of these!!
Chris Butcher
I’ve always worn New Balance shoes, so I would love to try these out!! Pick me!

I need new shoes for my upcoming 10 mile race!

I love light shoes and would love to try out a pair that weighs only 6.5oz!!! I would wear them for 13.1 miles :)
Marie G
I would LOVE these shoes! I really have been wanting a pair that is lightweight but most aren’t padded enough and hurt my feet but these seem fantastic! I bet I could run like a cheetah with these! =D and I would love to run everywhere with these shoes!
Amy
Amy needs these shoes! I am done with injuries. :( I am training for my first marathon in June and have been struggling with injuries in both legs for the past few months. I’m thinking these shoes could be my answer! :)
Fiona
I would love to try a 10k in the Delilah’s as I think the lightweight nature could help me be super speedy!
Ali @SeeAliEatSeeAliRun
I will happily run a marathon in the Altra’s!
Laapa Laura
Oh, I want those!
I would need to buy new running shoes anyway since my feet are very delicate and I need to have The Best shoes in order to avoid problems.
Of course, I would run the whole marathon with those! Yes, please! ;)
Katherine
Hello! I would love to win these shoes because the weather here in Canada is finally warming up after a cold winter and I can’t wait to get outside and run leaving the treadmill behind till next winter!
Rebecca
I would LOVE to try these shoes as I’ve been battling ITB and hip/knee problems for over a year now, which has been so hard not only because I love running in general and can’t do it now, but these injuries have even made me miss running Boston both this year AND last year after qualifying in 2010 :( The last thing I’m planning on trying is a minimalist shoe and this would be an amazing opportunity!!
Joelle
awesome giveaway! I’d love to try them out.. I’d probably wear them on my shorter runs so that I can get used to them.
Life's a Bowl
I’m desperately in need of a new pair of sneaks AND especially if I wanna start training again :D
Kelly V
I would love to try them while running my next 5k with my 68 year old grandma. Yep, my grandma rocks. She is still running at 68 and wins in her catagory everytime :)
Lisa
I NEED a new pair of kicks – I am almost ashamed to tell you when I bought my last pair…
Courtney
I looooooove minimalist running shoes! I’d absolutely love to try another pair out–I’ve been with my Saucony’s for awhile, and love them–but would like to try another pair out!

I would love to try these! I have never had a minimalist shoe before and have been wanting to get some!
Nicole @ Haute Running Mama
Ahhh! I would love these to wear for speed work and 5/10k races. They look FAST :)
hinano
I would love new shoes because my shoes are giving me the worst blisters that I have to drain every night! I live in New Zealand and so many brands don’t even ship here! My fav distance would be the 10k, light shoe to make me speedy!!
Brooke
I would love to try a minimalist shoe. I’ve been struggling with plantar fasciitis and wonder if a more natural foot position would help. I usually run shorter distances, 3-6 miles.
Jen
I’m training for a 10K right now and would love to wear these during my 5 mile speedwork sessions at the track!
Delaney
I would LOVE those shoes…They look awesome : )

I would love those shoes because ever since reading Born to Run I have been obsessed with minimalist shoes!
Megan @ RunningAimlessly
I’m a huge fan of Altra. I have the Intuition and Lone Peak–their road and trail shoe–and they’re nice and wide which I love. I’ve heard good things about the Delilah and would use them for speedwork since I’m super slow :)
Katie
First of all, congrats on your pregnancy! I know I’m late but that is super exciting. I am currently training for my first marathon (yikes) and am in desperate need of some new running shoes. I would love to win these!!!

:)
Laura M.
ALso, just tweeted about the giveaway! YAY!
Meg
Those shoes are SO CUTE! Honestly my favorite thing to use minimalist shoes for is doing my weight training and running errands and such. My other pair is basically threadbare and I can’t afford a new pair! I’d love to win these!!

Katie
I would love to try these shoes because I could use some running form help.
Sarah T
I’ve really been wanting my own pair of minimalist shoes. I would love these light babies for speedwork or my standard 10k tempo run. They seem sturdy enough for a half as well!

In April, my husband is leaving for military training for a month. And each weekend is crammed with a half marathon to get through the time! So I would love to have them for those races:)
Danica @ GirlsThatRun
I’d want to try them out for a speedy 5k!

I would love to try minimalist shoes and these ones are super cute! I am newer to running and trying to increase my distance slowly so I would say 10K would be perfect for me :)
michelle kim
I would love to try them because I’ve never had a zero drop shoe and I would probably try a shorter distance in these shoes, like a 5K.
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama
I’ve been very curious of minimalist/zero drop shoes. This would be the perfect opportunity! I would gradually try to work up to running my FIRST marathon in September with Delilah!!
Ali
I love to try a minimalist shoe! Every single running shoe I own is Mizuno. I am always looking for new ones to try… and I would love to try these. Maybe even run a relay in them this summer!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama
Just tweeted about the giveaway, too! :)

Shannon
I have wanted to try minimalist shoes!!! I would run a half-marathon in them if I could.

My favorite distance would be EVERY distance! I have tilted hips so raised-heel shoes are bad for me because they throw my hips even more out of whack. These Altra Delilahs would be perfect.

I’ve been reading a lot about zero drop/ minimalist shoes and I would love to try them for any distance. Right now my distances are slow and short since I am 21 weeks preggo with number 4. But I’m planning on getting back up to speed and train for 26.2 in 2013. :)

Carolynn
I tweeted about the giveaway (@carolynn_b)!
Jen R
i would love to try a zero drop shoe. I would love to run my first half marathon in them.
Annika
I recently started running “barefoot” style, in my really old trail shoes (probably shouldn’t be considered true running shoes, but they were the only shoes I had that had no weird padding that altered my true gait). I’m still undecided on what shoes to buy next, but these look perfect! I’ve read so many good things about Altra’s. Also, I’ve got a half marathon coming up in May!
Angelika
Seeing as I’m a first time runner training for my first marathon, I’d love to run 26.2 miles in them!

I would love to rock the Delilahs for my training runs (mostly under 10 miles..for now :)

Amity
Yay Altra! I have heard awesome things about these and I have been dying to get a pair of minimalist shoes for my stress fracture recovery runs. I was told to start more trail running and the running group around here recommended those exact shoes for trail running! Yay! :)
Tori
I’ve always wanted to try a minimalist shoe but have been so nervous to do it! Running shoes cost a decent amount of moola- and I have 2 kiddos- and taking the risk on buying minimalist shoes has always freaked me out! What if they don’t work for me!?!? I overpronate really bad and have had 3 stress fractures- (2 tibial and one femoral neck!)- so they “idea” that they aid in injury prevention sounds SO appealing to me! Ahhh! Pick me! I never win anything! haha!
tam
I’ve never run in minimalist shoes and would love to experiment!
Kate
How cute are these shoes?! I’d love to wear these running my favorite distance–the half marathon!

My resolution for 2012 is to run 2012 km. I’m ahead of schedule to date, but I could use a new pair of shoes since my current ones have seen better days.

I’ve been running in the Asics Gel Excel 33s and I would love to try an even lower drop shoe!

I’ve read a good bit about the Altras & would love to give the minimal shoes a try. The main I’d love to win is (1) I’m in desperate need of a new pair of running shoes, (2) I’m old with achy joints & back, (3) I’ve got a 1/2 coming up in April, and (4) it takes about 30 min. for me to get those Five Finger things on my feet!!
