Altra’s FootShape™ toe box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position. This enhances stability and creates a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance. We wish we could call it some scientific breakthrough, but we’re simply giving your foot the working space it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps big toe straight for greater stability and a more powerful toe-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows toes to relax and spread out naturally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows foot to naturally stabilize excess pronation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReplicating Perfection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe human foot is an anatomical masterpiece. It’s designed for stability, speed, and to get you from point A to point B. At Altra, we choose not to mess with perfection and simply let your foot do its thing. Every Altra shoe features a last that has been molded around the healthy position of a human foot. A shoe last is a 360-degree model of a foot used to create the shoe’s heel, instep, and toe box dimensions. Unlike other shoe companies that alter the last to make the shoe look more sleek and fast, we’ve chosen to let your foot decide the shape of the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section\"\u003eZero Drop™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"WC_ContentAreaESpot_div_1_ZeroDrop\" class=\"genericESpot\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ad_ZeroDrop\" class=\"ad\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Altra running shoe features a fully cushioned Zero Drop™ platform that places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground.

They've been running together ever since. Even as young kids, these two pursued the sport with passion and commitment, both for fun and in competition. Golden ran his first marathon at age 10 and then set an age group world record two years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden was raised in his family's running store, where he was always trying to improve the running experience.

In 2010, Brian laced up the first trail shoe sample for a make-or-break test run on the Wasatch 100 race course. At mile 94, he was several hours under his previous year's time and blister-free. At this emotional moment, Brian broke into tears, realizing Altra would succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing years of tinkering and testing prototypes, Brian and Golden were ready to share their innovations and present a new option to the running world.
