Up until recently, Altra was still known for its zero drop offering, amongst other unique selling points such as it's FootShape™ (put simply, a wide toe box that allows your feet to splay naturally), but Altra have since introduced a 4mm heel-to-toe drop option that provides both the FootShape™ but also delivers on appealing to those more at risk of an injury in a zero drop option shoe.

An Upper Overhaul
The upper has been redesigned with sandwiched mesh for comfort and durability and features Altra's Standard FootShape™ Fit. This means that the Experience Flow 2 provides the "middle" option of toe space compared to the Original, which is the roomiest of all three options, and the Slim which is the narrowest option.

A game changing midsole
Compared to its predecessor, the Experience Flow 2 now features a new softer and bouncier EGO P35 midsole foam which for those after the real technological depth means that it blends 35 percent bouncy polyolefin elastomer with Altra’s EGO MAX compound.
ㅤ
The result? More energy return for when the pace picks up and a go-to option for versatility of daily training.

The Conclusion
The Experience Flow 2 proves to be a complete all rounder for those new to Altra who want the comfort of a wider toe box compared to more conventional shoe fits, as well as those who have been seeking a low drop option to other Altra road shoes.
ㅤ
As one of Altra's most cushioned shoes, the Experience Flow 2 is best suited for those who want a soft underfoot feel, but also need a shoe that can respond to paces when needed.
