What is FootShape™?
A FootShape™ shoe is not a “wide” shoe. It’s a shoe with a roomy toe box. The difference is that with a roomy toe box, your foot is still secure through the midfoot. Every Altra shoe has our signature FootShape™, so you can move naturally. However, Altra styles are designed with three FootShape™ options for different experiences: Original, Standard, and Slim.

When your big toe has space it can remain straight, which optimizes your natural stability. A roomy toe box also lets your toes splay, avoiding squished toes for more comfort and balance, helping you push forward during walking and running.
Balancing the weight distribution across the foot alleviates excessive pressure on your forefoot and encourages a more efficient, functional movement pattern.
Want it all wide?
Altra has a few styles with a wide mid foot in addition to a roomy toe box.
