How Altra’s Running Shoe Quiz Works
The goal of our Altra Running Shoe Finder Quiz is to match your goals for your shoes with the models that meet those needs. It takes no time, and you’ll be instantly matched with several Altra models to choose from.
Here’s how it works:
Tell us what activity that you want to do with your new shoes. This might be running, walking, hiking, racing, or going to the gym. If you’re hiking, we’ll ask you if you hike in dry or cold, wet areas. And if you’re a gym-goer, we’ll be curious what kind of exercises you like to do.
If it’s relevant, we’ll ask you what kind of terrain you’re planning to run on. Trail running shoes are what we’re known for, but we also have road shoes that new runners will love. If you’re looking for walking shoes, we’ll ask where you tend to stroll.
If you’re looking for shoes for racing, we’ll ask what distance you’re going to take on and your goals for the race.
We’ll probably ask you to choose the underfoot experience you’re imagining. Want to feel like you’re floating, or do you like to feel the ground close to your feet?
After all that, you can choose a preferred gender for sizing, whether you’re looking for men’s or women’s shoes.
That’s all there is to it!
