For women, Altra offers almost every road model in a women's fit, still with the wide toe box and mostly zero drop. Pick the Torin for everyday running, the Via Olympus or FWD Via when you want more foam, and the Paradigm if you want support. For speed, the Vanish Tempo 2 trains and the Vanish Carbon 3 races.
