Altra Running Shoes

Altra builds its shoes around two ideas: a FootShape toe box that lets your toes spread out, and a zero-drop platform that sits level from heel to forefoot. Road shoes like the Escalante and Torin sit alongside trail models such as the Lone Peak and Olympus, and the brand has a loyal following among natural-running fans and ultra runners.

Zero drop puts more load on the calves and Achilles than a conventional raised heel, so if you're new to Altra, build up gradually. We list Altra prices from the UK retailers we track and add community deals as they appear. We don't see every retailer, so check the price and your size before you buy.
