Altra's trail range keeps the wide toe box everywhere and is mostly zero drop. The Lone Peak is the classic all-rounder, the Experience Wild links road and trail with a 4 mm drop, the Olympus carries the most foam, and the King MT has the biggest lugs. The carbon-plated Mont Blanc Carbon is Altra's race shoe, from short races to ultras.
