TECHNOLOGY:

 

VIBRAM®: The benchmark for high-productivity rubber soles. Exclusive compositions are created according to the specific requirements of each activity. For hiking and trekking, shoes with Vibram technology have a sole that ensures optimal traction, support and cushioning, even on uneven terrain.

 

Zero Drop™ Platform: Places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage low-impact running technique, respects the natural alignment of the body and strengthens calf muscles that are weakened by raised heels.

 

FootShape™ Toe Box: Allows your toes to spread out comfortably and naturally and for the big toe to reduce pronation. The result is improved stability and increased propulsion for optimal running performance.

 

Altra Ego™: Thanks to a clever mix of materials combining comfort, flexibility, rebound and resistance, the Altra Ego is the holy grail of cushioning. Its close to the ground cushioning and increased responsiveness gives you unequalled sensations. Altra Ego™ is designed for those who do not want to focus on comfort over dynamism.
Altra Ego's dynamism helps you keep rhythm and pace with maximum energy return. This new innovative material helps improve rebound, energy return and durability.
Unlike EVA midsoles, Altra EGO™ gains in performance when it heats up. In comparative tests with traditional running shoe foams this new cushioning has proven incredible durability, allowing it to maintain its cushioning properties and responsiveness throughout the life of the shoe

 

Gaiter Trap™: This velcro on the back of the shoe helps integrate gaiters (sold separately) without having to tie them under the sole.

 

STONEGUARD: StoneGuard™ is in-between the A-Bound™ and EVA midsoles and protects the foot's flexibly on uneven ground by deflecting pebbles under the midsole for a smoother and more stable run.

 

COMPOSITION: 

 

EVA: The moulded EVA insert provides lightweight cushioning and stability.
