What Makes an APMA-Approved Shoe?
Numerous Altra running shoe models bear the APMA Seal of Acceptance. What does this mean? Basically, the American Podiatric Medical Association (AMPA) is a council of foot doctors. The APMA analyzes running shoes and gives approval to models that promote good foot health. Altra APMA accepted shoes include different styles, from road-focused walking shoes to our hardiest trail running shoes.
Some running shoes on the market alter your natural gait and limit your mobility, while others decrease the quality of your comfort and speed. Enter Altra, where every running shoe is built with FootShape™ Fit and Zero-to-Low Drop design. Podiatrists have validated this approach, which facilitates natural movement and comfort that comes from moving freely. No more having your toes squished into a narrow toe box.
Footwear for Feet in Recovery
Have you had foot problems before? At Altra, we give you a better chance at easing along the healing process. That’s because when you go about your day wearing a pair of Altra podiatrist-recommended running shoes for men, you keep those toes splayed and those heels aligned in a healthy way. Shop women’s podiatrist picks as well.
Even if it’s only for standing or walking, our APMA certification shoes promote balanced muscle development that help sustain recovery from injury and ease foot sensitivity. Check out the Torin family, a lifestyle and running shoe that’s a huge favorite. The Olympus family has extra cushioning and is trail-ready, and the Paradigm family is even more supportive of a foot-friendly gait.
