What's New
The Experience Flow 2 features Altra’s new EGO P35 foam that delivers a softer yet more responsive ride without adding weight—in fact, it's about a quarter ounce lighter than the previous version. The heel counter has been updated and the upper redesigned for better breathability, while the lace length has been adjusted based on runner feedback.
Who It's Best For
This shoe is perfect for runners who want a versatile daily trainer that feels light and nimble. If you enjoy a natural running experience with room for your toes to spread, but still want enough cushioning for longer distances, the Experience Flow 2 hits that sweet spot. It's great for runners new to Altra who want to try the brand's FootShape design with a familiar 4 mm drop.
Why You'll Love It
You'll love how the Experience Flow 2 seems to disappear on your foot with the perfect blend of comfort and responsiveness helps you find your rhythm whether you're running easy or picking up the pace. And once you experience the freedom of a roomy toe box, you might wonder how you ever ran in anything else.

They're super light and they are very comfortable. After you wear them for a while, they start molding to your foots shape which makes them feel better. My go to

Great Shoe
Very comfortable. Awesome room in the toebox. I love the fit. I got them as a compliment for my Torin 8's when I am doing more substantial activities that require more cushion but still requires the Altra fit that I like.

Perfect nursing shoes for me!
I walk several miles a night on hard floors across a 43 acre, 4 hospital campus and these are exactly what I needed. Wide in the toe and support in the arch. Thanks.

Great everyday trainer
This shoe is true to size fit, really good cushion and smooth ride. I think the cushion could be a bit firmer but overall really good.
