About Altra: Crafting Shoes for Natural Movement
The Altra Story
Founded in 2009 by elite runners Golden Harper and Brian Beckstead, Altra was born out of a simple yet powerful idea - that running shoes should work with the body, not against it. Drawing inspiration from the natural shape of the human foot, Harper and Beckstead set out to create shoes that prioritized comfort, stability, and biomechanical efficiency.
The FootShape™ Toe Box
At the heart of every Altra shoe is the FootShape™ toe box. Unlike traditional shoes that squeeze the toes together, Altra shoes allow your feet to relax and spread out naturally. This design promotes optimal toe splaying and reduces the risk of common foot issues such as bunions and neuromas. The spacious toe box also enhances stability, balance, and natural foot movement.
Zero Drop™ Platform
In addition to the FootShape™ toe box, Altra shoes feature a unique Zero Drop™ platform. This means that the heel and forefoot are set at the same distance from the ground, encouraging a more natural, low-impact running or walking gait. With the Zero Drop™ technology, Altra helps reduce the risk of heel striking and promotes a midfoot or forefoot landing, which can lead to better posture and a more efficient stride.
Maximized Cushioning with Balanced Support
Altra shoes are also known for their exceptional cushioning and balanced support. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or pounding the pavement, Altra shoes provide the right amount of underfoot protection without sacrificing ground-feel and responsiveness. The balanced cushioning system ensures optimal shock absorption and energy return, making every step comfortable and efficient.

From road running and trail running to hiking and fitness training, Altra offers a wide range of shoes to suit every activity and terrain.
