TECH TIP: Altra fans (and potential Altra fans), get ready for a NEW stability/guidance shoe... Introducing the Altra Experience Form! Not to be confused with the Experience Flow, the Form has a two-colored engineered mesh upper, 4mm heel to toe drop, and rocker shaped compression-molded EVA, but with GuideRail™ technology! These GuideRails help overpronators stay aligned, but only when needed. Featuring, or should I say (feet)uring, Altra's signature FootShape™, your toes will be freer than an Orca Whale named Willy while your heel stays locked in tighter than Shamu. Finished with a rubber outsole, the Experience Form will give you plenty of life. Perfect for daily training, walking, and even working, the Experience Form is a great do-it-all workhorse for overpronators.
BUY THIS SHOE IF... you want an introduction to Altra without the zero drop.
DON'T BUY THIS SHOE IF... you have a neutral gait (try the Experience Flow instead).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Altra Experience Form a stability shoe? Yes. GuideRail™ sidewalls give mild medial support that only engages when your foot rolls inward.
Is the Experience Form zero drop? No. It has a 4mm drop, a gentler introduction to Altra than the zero drop Paradigm 8 or Torin ST.
How does the Experience Form fit? It uses Standard FootShape™: roomy in the toes and secure in the midfoot. Some testers found it runs slightly large, so try it on or ask our team about sizing.
Is the Experience Form good for walking? Yes. Walking and long periods of standing are among its strengths, thanks to the stable platform and roomy toe box.
