Altra Sneakers
In 2009, Altra turned the rules of running shoes upside down: heel and toe at exactly the same height — Zero Drop — plus a wide, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread out. A more natural stride, less twisting. On Solezilla, you can compare Altra’s range from multiple shops and find your size at the best price.
About Altra
Some brands follow the trend. Altra broke it. It began in 2009 in Utah, where Golden Harper cut open running shoes, removed the thick heel and put them back together with a toaster and glue—all in search of a shoe that let you move the way your feet were designed to. That’s how Zero Drop came about: the heel and forefoot are exactly the same height, making your landing feel more natural. FootShape came next, with a wide toe box that lets your toes spread out instead of squeezing them together, along with a separate women’s last. From road and trail models to everyday sneakers, everything at Altra is built around that philosophy: let the foot be a foot. By now, the brand is a mainstay in the running world and part of VF Corporation. Prices vary by webshop, especially around new releases. At Solezilla, you can compare Altra’s range from multiple shops and secure your size at the best price.
