Founded by passionate runners in the mountains of Utah, Altra is known for its unique approach to footwear—featuring Zero Drop™ platforms and FootShape™ toe boxes that promote natural movement and better alignment. Whether you're trail running, hiking, or walking city streets, Altra shoes are built to support your body’s biomechanics and keep you moving comfortably.

Low-Impact Materials: Altra is increasing its use of recycled and bio-based materials across uppers, midsoles, and packaging. Some models, like the Lone Peak All-Wthr 2, now feature more than 50% recycled content in the upper.

Sustainable Packaging: All Altra shoe boxes are 100% recycled and recyclable, with soy-based inks and minimal packaging waste.

Durability Over Disposal: By designing shoes that promote natural running form and longevity, Altra helps reduce premature wear and tear, cutting down on gear that ends up in landfill.

Diversity in the Outdoors: Altra partners with organisations like Black Men Run, Girls on the Run, and Women Who Explore to support inclusive access to running and the outdoors.

Fair Labor Standards: Altra works with its parent company, VF Corporation, to ensure ethical sourcing and manufacturing, adhering to strict global labor standards across its supply chain.

At Outside Sports, we love Altra because their footwear supports natural movement, encourages injury prevention, and is made with a growing focus on sustainability. Their unique foot-shaped fit and low-impact philosophy reflect our belief in gear that’s better for your body—and the planet.
