High Cushion Running Shoes for More Comfort

Some runs call for more support and comfort underfoot. Altra high cushion running shoes are designed to deliver extra softness while keeping movement feeling natural and responsive. Discover cushioned running shoes for road miles, trail sessions and longer days on your feet. Altra's signature roomy toe box gives your toes space to move freely, while zero-to-low drop options help keep your foot in a natural position. More cushion, yet still unmistakably Altra.

Cushioned Running Shoes for Road Miles

For regular road running, the right balance of softness and responsiveness can make every mile feel better. The Torin 9 brings that classic Altra feel with a lightweight, plush midsole and zero drop platform. Its breathable mesh upper works with a heel collar that moulds comfortably around the foot, while a roomy toe box gives your toes space to move. If comfortable running shoes are high on your list, these cushioned trainers are built to keep the road feeling good beneath you.

Cushioned Trainers for Trail Running

High cushioning is not just for the road. The Timp 6 combines Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam with a redesigned Vibram® Megagrip outsole, bringing light, responsive cushioning to changing trail terrain. Protective overlays help add durability while allowing enough flex for climbs and descents. Add a roomy toe box and secure midfoot, and you have cushioned running trainers made to handle rougher ground without feeling overly bulky. Experience grip when you need it, and feel comfort when the miles start stacking up.

Men's and Women's Cushioned Running Trainers

Our men's and women's cushioned running shoes in this collection range from plush road options to trail-ready styles built for longer sessions. Some keep you closer to a traditional Altra zero drop feel, while others focus on lightweight cushioning and responsive performance. The goal is simple: give you more comfort without weighing you down or taking away the freedom to run naturally.
