Altra Shoes running shoes provide unmatched comfort
For more than ten years, Altra Shoes has provided runners with exceptional footwear. The company was founded on a passion to create a better experience for runners of all kinds.Legend has it that the Altra Shoes co-founders met in high school during cross-country practice. The two young students, named Brian Beckstead and Golden Harper, were fervent runners who were constantly on the lookout for different running shoe models that could help them hone their skills.
Here’s where things get strange — in a quest for the perfect shoe, one of the co-founders had the thought to put one of his shoes in a toaster oven. The aim was to melt off the heel and replace it with a balanced cushioning platform. When the runner put the toasted shoe on his foot, he was amazed at how good it felt while he ran.
Of course, the company has come a long way from relying on the toaster oven, but the many benefits of wearing Altra Shoes have only grown. They are well-known for their strong grip and lightweight composition, as well as for ...offering shoes in a variety of widths.
