Altra W Torin 8

Altra is an innovative brand designed for runners who prioritize comfort and footwear that supports natural movement. Founded in 2009 in Utah by a group of running enthusiasts, Altra set out to create a shoe that respects the natural biomechanics of the foot.

A standout feature is the FootShape™ Toe Box, which provides extra room for the toes to spread naturally, improving stability and reducing the risk of injury. Another key innovation is the Balanced Cushioning™ with Zero Drop™, aligning the heel and toe on the same plane. This design promotes proper posture and a natural running form. These technologies have made Altra shoes especially popular among professional trail runners and ultramarathoners, but they are equally well-suited for recreational runners and outdoor enthusiasts.

Notable ambassadors include ultramarathoners like Zach Bitter, world record holder for the 100-mile race, and Jason Schlarb, winner of the Hardrock 100, proof of the brand’s exceptional quality. With premium materials, unmatched comfort, and cutting-edge functionality, Altra shoes are a top choice for both professional and recreational runners worldwide. Every pair offers comfort, performance, and innovation to support a healthy, active lifestyle.
