What is FootShape™ fit?
FootShape™ isn't a wide shoe — it's a shoe shaped like a foot. Your toes get room to relax and spread while the midfoot and heel stay secure. Altra makes three fits:
- Original
- The roomiest toe box, with extra space through the midfoot.
- Standard
- Room for your toes with a secure, locked-in midfoot.
- Racing
- Room for your toes with a snug, performance midfoot.

Inside the shoe
Features
Rocker for momentum
A pronounced rocker rolls you from landing to push-off, so the tall stack still feels smooth rather than clunky.
Roomiest Original fit
Altra's widest FootShape gives the most space through the toes and midfoot, ideal for wide feet or feet that swell.
Plush, breathable upper
An engineered spacer-mesh upper with a padded, gusseted tongue gives a soft, ventilated wrap.
Why Altra
The Altra fit
Room for your toes, a level platform underfoot and a fit that lets your feet move the way they're built to — for comfort, balance and strength.
Shop all Altra →Balanced Cushioning™
Altra's zero-to-low drop platforms keep your heel and forefoot closer to level, encouraging a natural posture and a softer, lower-impact landing.

This shoe: Original FootShape™Step Right expert note
Why our team recommends it
One of our favourites for people who stand or walk all day, or anyone with forefoot pain who needs maximum cushioning and toe room. Note it runs small — we suggest going half a size up.
