Men's Altra Running trainers are built around two technologies that set the brand apart from conventional running footwear: the Zero Drop™ platform, which positions the heel and forefoot at identical heights to promote a natural midfoot landing, and the FootShape™ toe box, which is wider and anatomically shaped to let the toes spread and engage properly through the gait cycle.

About Men's Altra Running

OD's stocks 12 men's Altra Running styles as an authorised UK stockist, spanning road and trail running. A key sizing note: the wide FootShape toe box means Altra runs wide — narrow-footed runners should consider sizing down half a size. Free UK delivery on orders over £75, next-day available.

What is Zero Drop™ running and is it right for me?

Zero Drop™ means the heel and forefoot sit at the same height — 0mm drop. This encourages a natural midfoot or forefoot strike rather than a heel strike, which many runners find reduces impact stress on the knees and hips. The transition from heel-drop shoes requires an adaptation period of several weeks; gradually increasing mileage in Zero Drop shoes is recommended.

Do men's Altra trainers run true to size?

Altra trainers run wide in the forefoot due to the FootShape™ toe box. Most men find the length is true to their standard UK running shoe size, but the extra width in the forefoot can make them feel roomy if you have narrow feet. We recommend sizing down half a size if your foot is narrow.

What is the difference between Altra road and trail running shoes?

Altra road running shoes use a firmer, more responsive midsole tuned for pavement and track surfaces. Trail styles feature a more aggressive outsole with lugs for grip on mud, rock, and uneven terrain, alongside a more protective upper. Both use Zero Drop geometry and the FootShape toe box.

Is OD's an authorised Altra Running stockist?

Yes. OD's Designer Clothing is an authorised UK stockist of Altra Running. All men's trainers are sourced directly through official channels and guaranteed to be authentic.
