Altra Running started with one pair of trail shoes, designed for comfort and technical terrain. From this first design, the core of Altra’s unique comfort was born: FootShape™ and Balanced Cushioning™. From this first audacious and innovative shoe, Altra has continued to break the mold in the industry with top-of-the-line trail running shoes, road running shoes, and hiking shoes made for every runner, every mile, and every terrain.
