Altra is a popular American brand
founded in 2009. Altra is known for making athletic shoes, running shoes, trail
shoes, and general footwear. Altra is particularly known for making stylish
running shoes. Altra is well known for their “zero drop” design meaning that
heel and toe are the same height.
Along with footwear, the brand has
now added hiking apparel like jackets, shorts, shirts, and socks to their
product line. I really recommend checking out Altra’s whole product line, available at lots of online retailers including
Outdoor Equipped. (OE has plenty of other great running shoes for men and running shoes for women as well, but personally I
really like the Altra brand.)
