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.

This is my first pair of Altras and I have been very pleased with them. From the first run - no shin splints, no blisters, no issues. They are super light and breathable which is great for my hot long runs. I’ve already put about 160 miles on them and excluding the (no longer) white uppers, they are still in excellent shape. Great everyday trainer!
This is my first Altra shoe; been a Hoka runner for a long time. I wanted to transition to a low drop shoe and got this shoe. I totally love the moderate cushion and 4mm drop. I felt right at home and ran a 5 k. This shoe did not need a break in. The shoe is light, wide toe box and good heel hold. I enjoyed the heel to toe motion. I am worried about the white color but overall very happy with the shoe I am a regular runner and typically putting in at 15-25 miles a week
