Customer Reviews Altra King MT 2

I run/fast-walk chunky, sandy, loamy single track trail with significant pitch. These shoes never disappointthe traction & ease of last second foot placement is always comfortable and sure. Buy 'em!

Favorite trail shoe. Comfortable but secure fitting, long lasting aggressive tread and enough cushion without compromising ground feel . I use them primarily for trail running in Tahoe but Also one of my go to shoes for Thru hiking Long trails. Love to Add SOLE cork insoles for extra support and they also are zero drop. Please keep making this shoe!

Absolutely awesome shoe. I almost exclusively wear Altra for work (long days in the operating room) all outdoor activities and the King Mountain are by far my favorite. Especially good for steep technical downhill. I've taken them through sand stone slot canyons, mountain peaks, adventure races, and they perform flawlessly. Hope they stay in Altra's rotation for a long time to come.

I go on long long treks in the Hawaii mountains and go off trail quite a bit. These shoes provide surprising grip on uneven, rocky, and grassy terrain but are light and keep me moving fast!

The Altra King MT is my favorite trail shoe of all time. It's secure, excellent for technical terrain, & durable for the long haul. I've run Spartans, the HURT 100, & Leadville 100 in this shoe. Please keep this shoe in production :)

Perfect shoe for most applications. Great quality along with all the attributes you need for a great all around athletics shoe.

I shoot, hike and work out regularly and have used these shoes in many scenarios and they work great! Comfortable, stable and they have plenty of grip.

Put them on and instantly felt as comfortable as my OG escalante racers I used to wear. These are the best trail shoes. Clay doesn't stick to the sole which is a huge plus!

Fantastic shoe for Spartans and Tough Mudders! No complaints whatsoever.

Used these shoes for the first time this past weekend for a Spartan Trail 10k. Couldn't have been happier. Mud, water, rocks, dirt they made it through. Aggressive tread, fast drying and easy to clean. I love these shoes.

I've been on two 5-mile trail runs in these, one in super muddy conditions and the 2nd in frozen mud conditions. Super comfortable and grippy, and shed the mud easily when I sprayed them off after the muddy run. I like the Velcro strap over the laces. My running buddy stopped two times to tie his shoes during the run, but the Velcro strap kept mine tied and from flopping around.

If you are in Arizona trails, here is the shoe. Absolutely love the smaller toe box for quickness and feel. Best trail shoe around for those zero drop runners.

These are the shoes I've been looking for. Light, nimble, grippy, and tough. The toe box is just right, wide, but not too wide. This is everything a trail runner should be. Awesome shoes!

They are just a little better than the first iteration, I was happy to see the Kingmt's were brought back as my first pair are all beat up. Great for muddy and wet conditions as well as tough trails. Looking forward to any new colors coming up.

Best hiking shoe for wet and steep trails that I have found so far. Needed no break in period. Love the velcro strap to keep laces from getting caught on low plants.

I use these for EVERYTHING- they are very comfy and durable.

My jam is scrambling in desert canyons, alpine scree slopes, and blowdowns in Pacific Northwest forests. I want a lightweigh shoe, with natural foot shape and great lateral stability. The King Mt is the one! My last King Mt 1.5 died a few years ago and it is finally back! If you have considered barefeet in the backcountry, or even 5 fingers (the "toe" shoes), King Mt provides similar foot dynamics with better traction, better foot protection, and better lateral stability. The untimate natural foot mountain shoe.

I love the fit and control that I get with the King MT. Thank you for bringing these shoes back! My favorite for sure.

Best running style zero drop wide toebox hiking shoe around..... And it has Vibram soles...It's my favorite Altra shoe by far... With the mesh and holes in the sole it's fast drying... You could spray the shoe with waterproofing and if you don't like the holes you can plug them with some sort of silicone... The only other shoe that I like this much is the Vivobarefoot Primus trail 2 FG...I've been waiting for this type of shoe to come out since 2003...

I liked the first pair so much I bought a second pair. I'm afraid they will stop making them again. I've never worn a trail shoe that feels so solid and stable with just enough cushion. Perfect!
