Womens Altra Running Shoes

Altra starts with the shape of the foot.

The brand's FootShape fit leaves more room around the toes while keeping the heel and midfoot secure. That does not make every Altra a wide shoe, and the modern range now covers far more than the zero-drop models the brand first became known for.

For road running, Torin handles everyday mileage, Escalante keeps things more flexible and stripped back, while Experience Flow brings a 4mm drop and rocker into the range.

On the trails, Lone Peak is the familiar all-rounder, Timp adds cushioning and Olympus goes further into long-run protection.

For faster days, Vanish Carbon 3 takes Altra into race-shoe territory with PEBA cushioning, a split carbon-fibre plate and a 4mm drop, while keeping the distinctive forefoot shape.

Start with the run, then choose the cushioning, drop and fit that suits it.
