The soft cushioning of the Altra EGO™ midsole absorbs impact, letting us tackle rocky paths while keeping our feet comfortable and happy.
We also appreciate the shoe’s impressive grip thanks to the MaxTrac™ outsole, which offers excellent traction on various surfaces, from dirt trails to slippery rocks.
