High Cushion Shoes

High Cushion Running Shoes for Long Runs & Recovery

Altra high cushion running shoes provide an extra layer of protection under your feet to help reduce impact and keep you supported for the long run. As opposed to low cushion shoes that keep you extra close to the trail, or max cushion shoes for total plushness and comfort, high cushioned shoes provide some extra support while maintaining a lightweight construction. These pairs are still made with Altra’s low-to-zero drop design and roomy, foot-friendly toe box.

Built for Comfort: Extra Cushion without Compromise

When your body is feeling tough – like if you’re running long, or going out a little sore on a recovery day, or coming off of an injury – high cushion running shoes are there to provide extra softness. For endurance athletes focused on injury prevention or walkers looking to pick up the pace outside, these shoes could be a useful option.

Altra provides extra cushion running shoes that may be comfortable, but they’re still engineered to promote your natural gait, with a toe box that helps optimize balance. Our podiatrist-recommended shoes for men and women include high cushion options.
