Before Altra was a global running brand, our founders were innovating. A shoe went in a toaster oven at 275°F to create a platform that let runners move more naturally. That experiment became Altra’s first prototype. The Olympus 275 is a tribute to that original spirit. Built for those who go all in so they can go all out.

Comfort, balance, and strength to Stay Out There™ That’s the Altra Fit. #StayOutThere #AltraRunning
About us
The beginning of Altra was simple. A couple of passionate runners and a shoe they knew they needed which didn't exist... A shoe that went against the status quo. Spoiler: They didn't really care. They didn't mean to start a company, but when no one else would make the shoe they needed... They built it themselves. Shoes designed to fit feet. All in the name of comfort & performance. It's a difference you can feel as soon as you step into a pair. Altra was founded on the belief that running was for relieving stress, not putting more stress on your body. That runners deserved a shoe that could help them run healthier, run further, run faster, and run for a lifetime.
