A 4mm-drop cushioned trail shoe with new EGO P35 foam and a Vibram Megagrip outsole that wraps up into a toe bumper. Built for technical ground by runners who want Altra's toe room with some heel drop.
Altra's low, zero-drop road trainer with a firm-leaning EGO midsole and a very roomy toebox. It suits midfoot and forefoot strikers who want a natural, flexible ride for everyday runs and the odd tempo.
Altra's high-stack, low-drop cruiser with a very soft EGO P35 midsole and a gentle, flexible ride. A comfortable entry point for runners new to Altra who want plenty of cushioning.
A low-stack, zero-drop speed shoe with Altra's new FAST PCE foam and a breathable knit upper. It suits short, quick sessions for runners used to minimal shoes, but offers little protection for long runs.
A mid-cushioned, zero-drop trail shoe with EGO MAX foam and a Vibram Megagrip outsole. Comfortable and protective for long days on moderate trails, with plenty of room up front.
A zero-drop daily trainer that swaps plush for a firmer, steadier platform and a grippy Vibram outsole. Best for easy and steady miles if you like a grounded, roomy shoe rather than a bouncy one.
Altra's zero-drop stability trainer, using GuideRail side support and a high-cushion EGO MAX midsole. A good fit for runners who want support and toe room without a traditional heel drop.
A light, low-stack, zero-drop trail shoe with excellent ground feel and no rock plate. Best for runners who want a natural, flexible ride on moderate trails and gravel.
Altra's 4mm-drop road trainer for runners who want the roomy FootShape toe box without going fully zero drop. It is light and nimble, with a more grounded feel than most modern daily trainers.
A max-cushion, zero-drop trail shoe with a built-in scree gaiter, EGO MAX foam and Vibram Megagrip. Made for long days and ultras where comfort and debris protection matter.
Altra's first full super shoe, with a max-stack PEBA midsole, a split-toe carbon plate and a 4mm drop. It rolls smoothly at marathon and threshold pace, but fits snugger than usual for Altra.
