Altra Footwear: Promoting Foot Comfort and Health
Originally created to help people run better, Altra Footwear's unique shoe has made the company the benchmark for
foot comfort and health. Traditional running shoes feature tapered toe boxes and elevated heels, both of which, based on a
combination of research and observation, the Altra founders
cut and modified to create a level, or "zero drop," platform.
These modified shoes helped alleviate foot problems so well
that the company sold 1,000 pairs in one year. Over the next
few years, and with the
help of some of the most
innovative minds in the
industry, the founders debuted their first cushioned
Zero DropTM shoes and established Altra Footwear.

ing hundreds of healthy

feet and designing a toe
box specifically to help
alleviate foot problems,
including bunions, neuromas, and plantar fasciitis. Evidence from tracing women's
feet showed clear anatomical differences between men's and
women's feet, so the company created the female-specific
Fit4HerTM last.
Every Altra shoe features Zero DropTM, which means your
body can remain in its natural alignment, and a FootShapeTM
toe box to allow your toes to spread out for comfort. Every
women's shoe is built on a Fit4HerTM last to accommodate for
the specific anatomical differences between men's and women's feet.
Altra offers a full range of road, trail, and casual shoes
and its designs continue to be rooted in science. Altra is
dedicated to helping people run and walk in comfort,
health, and performance. n
