Altra Escalante

Altra was born of the research and curiosity of Golden Harper who, determined to improve his running experience, decided to create a shoe with Zero Drop. All it took was an oven toaster and an existing shoe to remove the midsole, and Voilà! He gave birth to the first Altra running shoe, changing the world of running.

After years of tinkering and prototyping, Altra were ready to introduce their three key features – Foot-Shape, Fit4Her and Zero Drop – for which they’ve won multiple awards like Editor’s Choice Award for the best winter trail shoe.

The Altra range truly achieves its goal of making shoes that are healthy – for your feet, your posture and for our planet. Yes, their running shoes are also 100% vegan! By 2030, they are committed to using 100% regenerative, responsible, renewable, or recycled materials. We are so rooting for them.
