Altra Brand

Altra Purpose

Altra Innovation

OUR BRAND

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION

Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

Why would I ever purchase white 😒
They are so amazingly comfortable. Just stay away from the white. It's almost like the fabric that is used whispers sweet nothings to the dirt at my 4 star gym... Worn them all of 3 times and only from home to the gym. I need a different coloror fabric please

I wear Hoka Bondi exclusively due to a foot and Tibial Plateau injury . I gave these a try and I love them . Very supportive and I can wear them all day . I love these and thankful to find a new brand that I can wear and not be in pain. They run small compared to the Hoka . I usually wear a 7.5 and i sized up to an 8.

I already have a pair of these. I wear a size 7b and these in 7 fit very well. The orange color is more of a school bus yellow than it is orange, but still a nice color. The only disappointment is that the soles have imbedded dirt in the treads and obvious signs of being previously worn. For $139 I expect to receive a brand new pair, not a pair that has been worn and returned. I won’t return them, but I definitely won’t order another pair from Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Altra shoes do not have consistent sizing
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
Size: 10Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I purchased these shoes about six months after purchasing a pair in 2023 for a broken toe. The first pair worked great and gave my foot plenty of room to spread out, helping the toe.

Being that I already knew what size I would need, I ordered the same for the second pair. I really tried to give them a chance, wearing them for a total of maybe two or three weeks (spread into two months) At the end of everyday my toes would hurt from hitting the top. I had just had achilles surgery so I kept trying the next week thinking maybe my foot was swollen. Finally, I wore my old ones again and realized they fit just fine.

Wanting to give Altra shoes a chance, I tried a different pair a half size up (per recommendation from customer service) and my foot just slid around. I returned those quickly. I truly think the second pair I received are labeled wrong and are actually a half size smaller than what they say.

It was past time for Amazon to return them so I thought maybe I’d contact the company seeing if they might be interested in making a customer happy. Nope! They told me to try a half size up which I did and it was way too big. They are not willing to work with me. One time I had a pair of Brooks that I had only worn about three months and some of the cloth around the lace ripped slightly. When I contacted customer service, they immediately asked for pictures and I was sent a new pair within a week. Altra’s customer service does not have the make the customer happy mantra, at least from my experience.

After wearing my old Altras and my Sauconys in the same day, I realized that Altras are deceivingly comfortable. Yes, they give you a wider toe base which is what you focus on, but when you really pay attention to the rest of the shoe, sole, heel, fit on top of foot and sides, I realized that my old tennis shoes, Brooks, Sauconys, Avias, etc., have a much better overall comfort. Not to mention Altra shoes look odd.

I’m done with Altra. Customer service was dismissive and the shoes are not as comfortable as many others I’ve tried. If you do get a pair, really pay attention to the rest of the shoe (besides) the toe base and think about if it’s comfortable. Also, look down as you wear them. I never got used to the big square look.

This is my favorite shoe I’ve ever owned. I did order a 1/2 size up and I dont have terribly wide or fluffy feet so that works great for me. There’s no forward tilt which I appreciate and it’s light as a feather.
