Interested in new Altra Zero Drop Footwear products?
The brand long believed that a running shoe should not encourage a heel strike, but rather should let the body move naturally. After cutting down a running shoe heel and testing a zero-drop shoe, they saw how it reduced injury and changed several lives for the better, even bringing running back into the lives of a few who never thought it possible. Using a zero-drop platform, foot-shaped lasts and gender-specific designs, Altra Zero Drop brings a blend of barefoot freedom with shod protection.
The brand prides itself on their design of cushioned, foot-shaped minimalist running shoes that do not feature an elevated heel. This innovative platform allows for a more natural foot strike and a more efficient ride. The gender-specific toe box construction follows the natural shape of the foot, providing enhanced comfort, increased balance and stride efficiency.
Altra Zero Drop strives to bring natural running shoes to the masses and believes natural running can make a difference in people’s lives, as well as make running fun. Life is short. Run better!

Anyone who is looking for a fitted heel and a nice wide, cushy toe box, this shoe is for you. The zero drop did not take any time to adjust from traditional athletic shoes with built up heels. As a matter of fact, my lower back is much happier with this more normal alignment of the spine. No toe jamming, and just the right amount of cushion. I'm so thankful I've found a shoe that doesn't pinch my toes. Be sure to order up at least a half size.

I ordered a half size bigger than what I usually wear and am glad I did after reading reviews. I absolutely LOVE LOVE these shoes! Super comfortable right out of the box! I have metatarsal issues with me feet and these are perfect because the toe box is so big. I had found these shoes when I googled the condition I deal with and my feet. I am thinking I want to buy another pair in another style. Zappos is the best place to buy shoes and they come super fast....like next day fast! Yay!

This awesome trail/path shoe is wonderful, but order a full size larger than your current running shoe. The foot shaped toe box messes with the sizing on all Altra Zero Drop Running shoes, but this particular shoe runs a full size short. Must be the new performance style last. Regardless, this ride is awesome. Under the sock liner their is a rock shield that you can remove. Love em!

This refers to the women's version. From the fit, I doubt they changed the last from the men's version. My heel was sliding around in the cup, which made them unwearable. If you're female, and you don't typically wear a men's shoes, don't order these.
