Originally founded to help people run better, Altra Footwear’s unique shoe has made us the benchmark of foot comfort and health.

Traditional running shoes feature tapered toe boxes and elevated heels. Based on a combination of research and observation, the Altra founders cut and modified traditional running shoes to create a level, or “zero drop” platform. These modified shoes helped alleviate foot problems so well that they sold 1000 pairs in one year.

Over the next few years, and with the help of some of the most innovative minds in the industry, they debuted the first cushioned Zero Drop^TM shoes and founded Altra Footwear.

Altra’s FootShape^TM toe box was created by tracing hundreds of healthy feet and designing a toe box specifically to help alleviate foot problems, including bunions, neuromas, and plantar fasciitis. Evidence from tracing women’s feet showed clear anatomical differences between men’s and women’s feet, so they created the female-specific “Fit4Her” last which is used in every women’s shoe.

Every Altra shoe is Zero Drop^TM, which means that your body can remain in its natural alignment, a FootShape^TM toe box to allow your toes to spread out for comfort, and every women’s shoe is built on a female-specific, Fit4Her^TM last to accommodate for the specific anatomical differences between men’s and women’s feet.

Altra offers a full range of road, trail and casual shoes and continues to be rooted in science, and dedicated to helping people run and walk in comfort, health and performance. For more information visit altrarunnin.com or contact medclub@altrafootwear.com.
