Details:
- Upper: The new breathable sandwich-mesh upper keeps your feet cool and comfortable, while the gusseted tongue ensures a secure midfoot fit. Altra’s Standard FootShape™ Fit features a roomy toe box that lets your toes spread naturally—because running feels better when your feet can move the way they were designed to.
- Midsole: The upgraded EGO P35 foam makes this version feel lighter, more responsive and more cushioned than ever before. Combined with a subtle 4 mm drop and gentle rocker shape, you'll experience that perfect rolling sensation that helps you find your flow state with every stride.
- Outsole: Strategic rubber placement provides reliable traction where you need it most, while keeping the overall weight down.

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.
