FootShape™ Toe Box

Altra’s FootShape™ toe box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position for maximum stability and power.
The FootShape™ also provides more comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents.

Zero Drop

The Superior 4 is a minimalist running shoe with the Zero Drop that places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run.

Gaiter Trap

Hook-and-loop tab allows strapless gaiter attachment that prevents debris from building up beneath the shoe.

TrailClaw™

Canted lugs positioned strategically beneath the metatarsals to provide traction at toe-off.

Balanced Cushioning™ Platform

Places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run.

Quantic™ Midsole

The Quantic midsole foam cushioning combines responsive performance in a lightweight package.
Quantic™ was inspired by a desire to combine the plush feel of Altra EGO™ with a lightweight ride, it cushions every step and floats over any surface.

Removable StoneGuard™

To protect your feet from stone bruising, the Superior 4 also includes a removable stone guard.
This removable StoneGuard rock plate provide protection and versatility for varying terrain.
It slips underneath the sockliner to disperse shock and protect the feet.
The StoneGuard weighs 1.0 oz and is 1 mm thick (Men’s size 9).
