Altra

A Marvel of Engineering.  The greatest piece of running technology ever created.  Works best when strengthened by activities such as barefoot running.  Tends to weaken when inhibited over time by devices such as heel elevation, arch support, toe spring, and shoes that don’t allow the toes to spread out naturally.

 Zero Drop™ Platform: Zero Drop™ simply means that the shoes are the same distance off the ground at both the heel and ball of the foot. Since traditional shoes typically employ a 2:1 ratio from heel down to toe, a shoe with no differential is called a ‘Zero Drop™’ shoe. Video analysis confirms that Altra™ Zero Drop™ footwear allows you to run with better technique (less heel strike, improved landing zone), better posture and alignment, reduced impact quotient, and natural Achilles loading for more efficient propulsion. No more fighting against a shoe but a shoe working with you to run more natural!
