Altra Running

Altra Running shoes stand out thanks to their unique design: a balanced 0mm drop (Zero Drop™) platform and a wider FootShape™ toe box that respects the natural shape of the foot. The result is a more balanced stride, improved posture, and a more natural running feel, whether on the road or on the trail.

Whether you’re looking for a model for daily training, a performance shoe for racing, or a protective option for long distances, discover our complete selection of Altra shoes at Boréal Running.

Why Choose Altra Running Shoes?

Unlike traditional running shoes with an elevated heel, Altra features a balanced platform with a 0mm drop. This design promotes natural body alignment and may help reduce stress on the knees, hips, and lower back.

FootShape™ technology allows your toes to spread naturally, improving stability, comfort, and propulsion. It’s a major advantage for runners with wider feet or anyone seeking more forefoot space. You can also explore our wide running shoes for men and wide running shoes for women.

Transitioning to a 0mm Drop: What You Should Know
