What are the Altra Men's Experience Wild Trail Running Shoes?
The Altra Men's Experience Wild Trail Running Shoes are built for performance, making your trail runs effortless and efficient. They are perfect for all-day adventures and excel on rolling terrains, fast-tempo runs, and steep summits, providing the grip and support you need to conquer any trail.
What are they made of?
The Altra Experience Wild shoes are made of high-quality materials to provide excellent performance and comfort on various terrains.
The midsole is made of lightweight compression-moulded EVA foam. This cushioning helps absorb impact, reducing the strain on your feet and legs. As a result, you can walk or run more efficiently. This feature helps keep your feet comfortable and reduces fatigue, even during long hikes or runs.
Compression-moulded means the foam is formed by compressing it into a specific shape using high pressure. This process makes the foam more durable and helps it maintain its shape and cushioning properties over time. It also ensures that the shoe's midsole remains supportive and comfortable, even after long periods of use.
The outsole of the Altra Experience Wild shoes features MaxTrac technology. This outsole is designed to provide the perfect grip, traction, and durability. No matter what terrain you tackle—rocky trails, muddy paths, or slick surfaces—the MaxTrac outsole ensures you have the necessary grip to navigate any landscape confidently without worrying about slipping or losing your footing.
The upper part of the shoe is made from mesh. This lightweight, breathable material allows air to circulate around your feet, keeping them cooler and drier. The mesh upper also provides flexibility, allowing the shoes to move naturally with your feet. It enhances comfort and reduces the likelihood of blisters or chafing.
What are their features?
The Altra Experience Wild trail running shoes are designed with Altra's signature Standard Footshape Fit. This means they provide a spacious and accommodating toe box that allows the feet to spread naturally. This design enhances comfort and balance and reduces the risk of blisters and discomfort during runs.
These running shoes also have the GaiterTrap detail on the heel. This feature makes it easy to attach a Trail Gaiter, a protective cover that wraps around the top of your shoe and your ankle. By using the GaiterTrap, you can keep debris like rocks, dirt, and twigs from getting into your shoes, keeping your feet clean and comfortable during your hikes or runs.
For added protection, the shoes have strategically placed no-sew overlays on the toe box. These overlays provide extra durability and shield your toes from bumps and scrapes against rocks or roots, especially useful on rugged trails.
The rocker shape of Experience Wild shoes is designed to give the feeling of being propelled forward with each step and provide an efficient toe-off without reducing your natural stride.
The Experience Wild shoes also feature a zero-to-low drop design, which aligns your foot in a natural position. This design promotes stability and comfort, making them ideal for long-distance runs and tackling uneven terrains. With a more natural foot positioning, you can maintain better control and stride with confidence, whether ascending steep inclines or descending challenging descents.
