8 of the best men’s running shoes from ALTRA

The team at Altra Running never set out to create a company; they simply wanted a trail running shoe that offered more space for their toes. So, they took matters into their own hands and crafted it themselves, challenging the entire industry’s norms in the process. This spirit of innovation and defiance is the essence of Altra Running: dedicated runners designing footwear for fellow runners. Now they’ve got some of the very best men’s running shoes on the market – check out our pick of 8 of the best below:
