Altra

Who we are
Altra Running is an American footwear brand specializing in athletic shoes for road running, trail running, and outdoor activities.

Key design/features

• Zero Drop / Balanced Cushioning: Their shoes position the heel and forefoot at the same stack height (i.e., no “drop” from heel to toe), to encourage a more natural gait.

• FootShape™ toe box: A wider, anatomically shaped toe box that lets toes spread naturally instead of being constricted.

• They emphasize “shoes shaped like feet” and letting the feet run rather than be constrained.

• They cover both road and trail categories and have a growing profile among trail-running enthusiasts.
