What is FootShape?

A FootShape shoe is not a “wide” shoe. It’s a shoe with a roomy toe box. The difference is that with a roomy toe box, your foot is still secure through the midfoot. Every Altra shoe has our signature FootShape, so you can move naturally. However, Altra styles are designed with three FootShape options for different experiences: OriginalStandard, and Slim.
