The Altra Experience Wild 2 trail shoe is notable because it blends Altra’s traditional zero-drop DNA with modern features aimed at comfort, versatility, and approachability.
Unlike most Altra shoes that feature a zero-drop platform, the Experience Wild 2 has a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop. This makes it more accessible to runners transitioning from traditional shoes while still promoting a natural gait.
It uses Altra’s "Rocker Shape" midsole, which encourages smooth heel-to-toe transitions. This design helps reduce fatigue on long trail runs or hikes, making it suitable for ultrarunners or thru-hikers.
