Our read

A well-cushioned zero-drop trail shoe for runners who want a roomy forefoot and quick on-the-fly adjustment; the Boa dial fixes Altra's lace-loosening complaint but tightens the midfoot fit in a way not everyone will like.

Ride

Zero-drop platform with a balanced, neither-soft-nor-firm feel and enough stack for longer efforts on rough ground.

Fit

Signature Altra foot-shaped last with a wide, natural toe box, but only standard width is offered and the Boa closure can feel tight over the instep and ankle for some.

Best for

Runners who want a roomy toe box and a zero-drop trail platform for long, technical outings and prefer a dial closure over laces.

Avoid if

You have a high-volume instep or want a locked-but-not-pinching midfoot, or you need a traditional heel-to-toe drop.
