Altra running- and active walking shoes for every goal
Altra is not just another shoe brand. While other brands claim to offer the fastest shoes or the best cushioning, Altra focuses on promoting a natural foot position. This philosophy is reflected in the brand's signature features:
- Zero drop™: the heel and forefoot are positioned at the same height. That places your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on.
- FootShape™ toe box: a wider toe box allows space for your toes to spread out naturally. That avoids squished toes for more comfort and balance.
Altra trail shoes
Do you love lacing up your shoes for a run in the forest? Or do you have an active hiking holiday coming up? Altra offers running and hiking shoes for every adventure. With a range of models, each featuring its own unique characteristics, you're sure to find the perfect shoe for your journey. Here are a few of the latest additions to the Altra collection.
Altra Olympus 275 HiLo
Trail running shoes featuring a highly durable upper.
What do you need when you're taking on uneven, challenging trails? Exactly. A shoe that's tough and built to last. Thanks to its Matryx® upper, made with durable Kevlar® fibres, the Olympus 275 is designed to withstand rough terrain, abrasion and debris.
"To put the grip to the test, I headed to the Karel Sabbe Mountain. At no point did I feel unstable - not even on the steep, twisting descents. it was also the first time I didn't feel the sides of the shoe pressing against my toes, thanks to the wider toe box."
- Philippe, head of the Runners' lab Prolab.
