Why We Like The Altra Superior 6 Shoe

Built for trail runners who believe less is more, the Altra Superior 6 is a nimble running shoe that provides a fantastic trail feel. Weighing in at around 8 ounces per shoe, the Superior offers minimalist cushioning along with Altra's renowned features, including a 0mm drop from heel to toe, a women-specific fit, and Footshape toe boxes that allow for natural toe splay. Updated for 2023, the version 6 introduces new ripstop uppers for increased durability, improved breathability in the vamp, and enhanced Maxtrac outsoles that offer better tactile traction and long-lasting tread.
