Features

Upper

Minimal material, allowing for unrestricted sensation in the toe-box
Supportive and structured material, feels more geared towards faster running

Midsole

Compression moulded to offer you excellent rebound, absorption of impact and long-term durability
Fast heel-to-toe transition, due to moderate rocker motion

Outersole

Sticky rubber outsole to prevent slipping on the road – traction more ideal on harder surfaces such as road/mid-trail

Pros

FootShape toe-box so your toes can spread naturally – great option if you have slightly wider feet, Morton's neuroma or bunions
Refined shape for an improved versatile fit
Built-in Rocker technology aims for an effortless midfoot to toe-off transition
True to size
Fully vegan

Cons

Although considered 'standard fit' in Altra's range, the upper material construction feels quite snug

In Testing

For a faster running session, I tried the Altra Experience Flow running shoes that were recommended to me. I was not let down. The Rocker technology allows for a smooth transition from heel-to-toe, lessening the impact on my joints.

I also have to add, running in these shoes did feel more effortless as I built up my milage and pace. Personally, a massive game-changer when it comes to running faster!
