Altra Running Shoes

Altra are renowned in the running world for their revolutionary FootShape™ toe box designed to let your toes spread naturally. Combined with zero-to-low drop cushioning profiles, Altra shoes encourage a more natural running position while helping to reduce impact. At Run4It, we stock a range of men's and women's Altra running shoes for both road and trail running, with models varying by run experience and FootShape™ fit. The Altra Experience family represents Altra's line up of 4mm heel-to-toe drop running shoes. While retaining the brand's signature roomy toe box and natural fit, these models combine Altra EGO™ P35 cushioning, a 4mm heel-to-toe drop, and rocker geometry - to deliver a responsive, fluid and comfortable ride ideal for the varied demands of daily training. A successor to the AltraFWD Experience, the Experience Flow is a neutral road running shoe built for runners seeking a lightweight, responsive feel for everyday miles. The Experience Flow ST running shoes offer the same smooth ride with added stability, thanks to Altra's GuideRail™ technology that provides extra support and guidance when needed. Heading off-road? The Experience Wild is built for trail runners seeking versatility and confidence across a wide range of terrain. All three Experience models feature Altra's Standard FootShape™ toe box, offering a balanced fit. For runners prioritising softer cushioning on the road - particularly for slower paces or longer efforts - the Altra FWD VIA excels. Built on Altra's Original (roomiest) FootShape™ Fit, it's an excellent choice when comfort and protection are the priority. For runners seeking comfort, versatility and durability on technical trails - the legendary Altra Lone Peak is the obvious choice. Featuring a 0mm heel-to-toe drop for stability on uneven surfaces, a Vibram® Megagrip™ outsole for reliable traction, and Altra's Original (roomiest) FootShape™Fit, the Lone Peak offers protection and comfort on harsh off-road terrain - including steep ascents and descents. In our experience, Altra is an excellent choice for runners with Morton’s Neuroma or bunion. The FootShape™ toe box allows toes to spread naturally, helping reduce the pressure across the forefoot. While all Altra shoes feature this design, the Original FootShape™ offers the most space. This is likely to be the optimal choice if you want maximum room.
