Altra’s innovative running Sandales Shoes are designed to promote your natural gait whether you are pounding the pavement or traversing the trails.

Founded in the back of a running store in 2011, what makes Altra Sandales Shoes stand out is the fit: Altra designs all its running Sandales Shoes around their FootShape™ toe box, which accentuates the natural shape of your foot instead of tapering toward the toe like most other running Sandales Shoes. This allows your toes to relax and splay naturally, which is particularly advantageous when running on uneven surfaces, such as trails. It is also helpful on the roads because it allows the big toe to remain in a straight position for maximum stability and power. Plus, it is more comfortable and works particularly well for people with wider feet or bunions.

The next characteristic of all Altra Sandales Shoes is that they are designed with Balanced Cushioning™. Most Sandales Shoes have more cushioning in the heel than the forefoot, causing a slightly downward slope that you may have heard of as “heel-to-toe drop.” Every Altra shoe is built on a platform where the heel and forefoot are an equal height from the ground, which makes all Altra Sandales Shoes Zero-Drop™. Altra designed this to help with optimal alignment, cultivate better form and encourage a low-impact landing. It also takes the pressure off the ball of your foot.

Finally, women’s Altra running Sandales Shoes are all shaped using FIT4HER™ technology. Women’s feet tend to be shaped differently than men’s feet so Altra builds their women’s Sandales Shoes to have a narrower heel, longer arch and unique metatarsal spacing so that they fit women’s feet better.

Whether you’re in marathon training or hitting the trails, these are the best Altra running Sandales Shoes for your run:
