Altra Running is a US-based shoe manufacturing company that specializes in manufacturing running shoes for athletes. The company was started in 2009 by a group of athletes who wanted to change the traditional shoe design and bring a more natural and comfortable shoe for runners.
The company manufactures shoes for activities like everyday running, road racing, trail racing, hiking, backpacking, and cross-training for both men and women. The shoes are categorized as trail, hike, walk, gym & training, waterproof, wide, and podiatrist-recommended shoes. They have diversified their product range by including smart wool socks and accessories like Stoneguard and trail gators.
Altra Running shoes focus on natural movement and the biomechanical comfort of the foot, for which it has developed shoes with a roomy toe box and has zero to low drop. A roomy toe box helps to maintain the natural shape and angle of the toe without bending the toes inwards. This creates a natural stability, avoids squeaky toes, and helps to push forward while walking and running.
Where most of the companies build high-drop design shoes to meet fashion standards and provide extra cushioning to the heel, Altra running shoes are designed for zero-to-low drop. This design helps to evenly balance the weight distribution on the complete foot. It reduces the pressure on the forefoot and builds natural alignment.
The brand provides a 30-day trial run period to test the shoes. If customers don’t find them right, they can return them and get a full refund.
Altra runners have grown into a recognizable brand within the running and outdoor sports market. They believe in developing the running community, bringing them together, and offering comfortable shoes for quality runs.
