How To Find The Right Altra Fit For You
Altra is a company founded by innovation and disrupted thinking. From early on, Altra's co-founders wanted a running shoe that didn't change the way they ran, and by modifying running shoes that were available at the time, Altra eventually was born with the vision of creating shoes that provide a balanced underfoot experience, while supporting natural running form.

Altra FOOTSHAPE Range

Original FOOTSHAPE Fit

The Original FOOTSHAPE FIT was the first profile shape that Altra introduced in their first models. The widest fit option in the line-up, Original Fit is great for large volume feet or suitable for the individual looking for the widest toe box available.

Standard FOOTSHAPE Fit

Standard Fit was the next shape introduced by Altra. Designed to be slightly narrower in heel and forefoot than the Original Fit, this shape still provides a wider volume than traditional running shoes, supporting toe splay and natural movement. The Standard Fit is the most common shape in the Altra range.

Slim FOOTSHAPE Fit

Altra's Slim Fit provides the narrowest option in their range. This shape maintains a wide toebox but is more streamlined, which is best for uptempo running and racing. Slim Fit has become a great option for runners new to Altra who want to try FOOTSHAPE without going too far away from traditional shoe designs.
