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:
Inside the shoe
MaxTrac rubber with deep lugs bites into gravel and packed dirt while staying comfortable on road sections between trails.
A tall EVA stack softens rocky ground, making it a comfortable choice for long hikes and easy trail runs.
A rockered midsole helps the foot roll through each step, saving energy on climbs, fire roads and long walking days.
Altra's foot-shaped last lets toes spread out on descents and uneven ground, aiding balance and reducing toe jamming.
Why Altra
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.
