Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Best Altra trail shoe yet!
6 months ago
My new favorite trail shoe!!!! Lighter than the Mont Blanc Carbon, better heel lockdown and tongue than the Mont Blanc. I ran multiple ultras in the original and a few including a very rough 100 in the Carbon, and these Speed solves every issue I had with both! Perfect heel lockdown, padded tongue and plenty of protection, all while being very lightweight. I can’t wait to run my upcoming 60 miler and Barkley Fall Classic in these!

Altra hit a home run here. I've tried the prodigio pro, terra kiger, wildhorse, Olympus, agravic ultra, asics. This shoe is better. Zero drop, breathability, insole friction, outsole grip, width, foot volume, lightweight, cushion with stability in a moderate stack. Dries quickly. Durability has been good so far in eastern US woodlands.
