Introducing the women'sAltra FWD Experience, a high cushioning road running shoe that's breaking new ground in the Altra footwear range. It's Altra's first step into low heel-to-forefoot drop, departing from the standard Zero Drop seen in their other styles. The Altra FWD Experience is tailor-made for newcomers to the brand and those new to running itself, promising advantages like a spacious toe box that promotes better posture and an enhanced running form.

Featuring a plush design, a generous amount of compression-molded midsole cushioning and therefore a lofty 32mm stack height. Employing a rocker construction, it encourages a swifter gait cycle, ensuring you stay agile and light on your feet, even with this substantial level of aforementionedcushioning.

As with all Altra road running shoes, the Altra FWD Experience embraces the FootShape Fit philosophy, offering a roomy toe box. This particular model adheres to the Standard FootShape Fit, the middle groundof the range. It lets your toes spread out naturally, a departure from the constraints of traditional toe box running shoes, promoting a more organic and comfortable stride.
