Description
NEW for 2022 Runner up off-trail shoe. Best for lovers of zero drop and a wide forefoot Weight : 9.9 ounces (Men’s 9) Stack Height Heel/Toe: 25mm/25mm Heel-to-Toe Drop : 0mm MSRP: $180 What We Like: These shoes are a true performance shoe, with the familiar Altra features that we’ve grown to love. The traction is excellent from slippery rocks to icy trails, and the extra cushion is extremely helpful when traveling in rocky terrain. These shoes are built for going fast and racing in unpredictable terrain. Do be aware that they require a bit of a break-in period; the fit gets better over the first 20 or so miles. PROS: Top notch traction for any trail. Precise, snugger fit is better for technical trails. More cushion than other Altra models, comfort over long distances. Lighter than even the Hoka Speedgoats CONS: High price tag. Heel cup is a bit sloppy BEST FOR: Athletes who are concerned with speed and stability on a variety of different terrain types, while still keeping weight low. Trail runners or thru-hikers who are going after the FKT, or trying to beat their own personal records. Runners and backpackers who don’t want to sacrifice cushion for speed.
