AltraFWD Experience
Features
Run more and effort less in the women's AltraFWD Experience—Altra’s first running shoe with a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop.
For runners and walkers nervous about trying one of Altra’s zero-drop shoes that have Balanced Cushioning™ in the heel and forefoot, the Experience is a great way to transition to a lower-drop shoe. The shoe’s 4 mm drop, rocker shape geometry and lightweight cushioning give you a performance-focused ride that makes daily running feel smooth and easy.
Plus, the sleek mesh upper wraps your foot for all-around comfort, while Altra’s Standard FootShape™ Fit toe box lets your toes relax and spread out naturally.
Details:
- Midsole: Lightweight, compression-molded EVA foam with a 4 mm drop and rocker shape geometry that gives you an effortless ride
- Upper: Engineered mesh upper with Altra’s Standard FootShape™ Fit

Too narrow
I have some Altra trail shoes that are amazing - wide roomy and their classic toe box has my feet feeling amazing. I figured these road shoes would be similar. Unfortunately Altra seems to be slowly narrowing their shoes. These ones don’t come in a wide size either. I returned these.
Altra FWD
Great show. I have been wearing Hoka Clifton's and did not like the 9 as much as previous years' shoes. So when Altra came out with this shoe and the 4mm drop I wanted to try them. It took my foot a few runs/weeks to get to used to them but they are great! Love the width in the toe box the bounce in the sole and the cushion around the achilles/heel
Love ‘em!
Very comfortable right out of the box! Supportive cushioning but still responsive!
My new favourite shoe!
I love this shoe. The rocker is subtle. The 4 mm drop is perfect. Comfortable upper good laces. I ran a marathon in them and they were great!
Running Shoes
These are my favorite running shoes ever! So comfy
Wanted to love it
I love the look of the shoe! The cushioning overall is great and the width in the toe box is perfect. However the extra padding in the heel area is too much for me. It created pressure that made wearing the shoe uncomfortable which is unfortunate for an otherwise very comfortable shoe!
The Best yet!
I’ve only worn Altra’s for years. They have been the most comfortable shoe for my foot by far! But this latest design takes the cake. I didn’t know I could like Altra’s more than I already did- but they’ve outdone themselves!
Most comfortable shoe I've been recommended so far
This was my 3rd pair of shoes bought at Fleet feet. And this was the only time I've felt the sales associate listened to what I was saying about my issues reeled to pain with walking. I picked this out of the 3 shoes she recommended and they have been super comfortable and I've had less pain when walking. I do wish they came in darker colors other than solid black. In store there was just white or gray. The gray might as well be white.
Love these
I love mine. Ready for a second pair. Very comfortable
