Altra

Altra changed the game by introducing Zero Drop and a FootShape toe box to the world of trail running. Their goal is to keep your feet in their natural state, reducing impact and allowing for a more powerful toe-off on every climb.

The Specs

• Balanced Cushioning places your heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground.
• FootShape toe box lets your feet sit naturally for more comfort and stability.
• Trail-specific outsoles designed for maximum traction on muddy climbs.

The Verdict
Altra is our go-to for long days on the Bluff Wilderness Trail, where natural foot movement makes all the difference in those final miles.
