We've reviewed several Altra running shoes - whether they're road or trail shoes, daily or race pairs, and even firm and plush-cushioned ones. Our reviews dial into the shoe's essentials, to bring out the amazing and questionable parts of each shoe. We build our reviews by actually testing the shoe in the lab and on our feet to ensure fairness in the process.
