FootShape™
Three fits, one philosophy.
A FootShape™ shoe isn't a wide shoe. It's a shoe with a roomy toe box and a secure midfoot. Every Altra has that signature shape, but how much room at the front and how snug through the middle varies by model. Pick the fit that matches your foot.
Fit 1 of 3
Original FootShape™
Our roomiest toe box, with plenty of space through the midfoot too. The fit for runners who want maximum room to splay and breathe, on trail, on long road runs and on ultras.
Fit 2 of 3
Standard FootShape™
Roomy in the toes, secure through the midfoot. The everyday fit: generous where you need space, locked in where you need control.
Fit 3 of 3
Racing FootShape™
Roomy toes with a snug midfoot for a secure racing stance. Altra's fit for race day and fast sessions.
The bigger picture
Why FootShape matters at all.
FootShape is one of the two ideas Altra was built on. The other is Zero-to-Low Drop. Together they're why the shoes feel different the moment you put them on.

Want it all wide?
