Men's Altra Footwear King MT 2 Running Shoe

This shoe does it all! I run in Sedona where the trails are on steroids. From extreme jagged rocks, dry loose soil, sand and slick off camber running, this shoe far surpasses any other shoe I've ran in out here. I'm nearing 400 miles on my first pair. Super grippy and great foot to earth feel.

As in prior review, I had to size up a 1/2 size, warning to all. However, after 15 miles in these, I can say I love them! I am usually running in Luna Origen 2.0 sandals which are not tall, but are very hard (literally a cut tire for the outer sole). These MT2s come very close to that feel, but with better foot hold. This is due to the great Altra upper, foot shape shoe and the top strap. The nice hard and short stack gives great foot feel on landing. As usual Altra does a great job of a very flat platform. Many other (topo, inov8) design their zero drop shoes with curvy/molded foot soles and after a lot of miles they hurt by disabling ground feet. Not these MT2s! Great ground feel in a short hard stack with a great upper fit. LOVE THEM.
