Altra debuts its first "drop" model. What is the intention behind it?

One of the most frequently heard keywords as an indicator for selecting running shoes is "drop. . This term refers to the difference in thickness of the sole between the toe and the heel. A high drop promotes smooth weight transfer, while a low drop promotes natural human running.

The so-called "zero-drop shoe" eliminates such a drop. ALTRA, a brand synonymous with this type of shoe, will debut a road running shoe with a drop. The name is "ALTRA FORWARD EXPERIENCE.

ALTRA FWD EXPERIENCE ¥20,350

This work is designed for a smooth transition to a zero drop. The midsole is made of a new compression-molded foam with excellent resilience , and the drop is set at 4mm. By maintaining Altra's unique comfort features, such as a foot shape that conforms to the shape of the foot and flexibility that follows the movement of the foot, the shoe has been made to be a low-drop shoe that even those who have never experienced a zero drop can easily adapt to.

This is the first "with drop" model in Altra's history that invites you to go to zero drop. It will go on sale on January 20 (Sat.).
