Features

A firmer compression-molded foam midsole and aggressive rocker shape deliver an energetic rolling sensation that makes the Altra Experience Flow an exciting neutral trainer for daily runs and workouts.

In our Altra Experience Flow review, our testers praised the unexpected liveliness of the firm, yet lightweight cushioning. “Running in the Experience Flow is a lot of fun,” says Tony. “The shoes feel very light on my feet and the foam has a very responsive feel–more than I was expecting, being that it’s on the firmer side. When I wore these for the first time, I was happy the entire run.”

The Experience Flow bridges the gap to zero-drop with a low, 4 mm offset and effortless ride. Read more about what our run testers thought in our full Altra Experience Flow review.

Details:

  • Upper: The Experience Flow features a Standard FootShape™ Fit, which falls in the middle of Altra’s three different options. “Great wiggle room in the toe box and a glove-like fit in the midfoot,” says Travis in our Altra Experience Flow review.
  • Midsole: With a 4 mm drop, the Flow’s lightweight compression molded midsole gives you a responsive feel in combination with a rocker shape to gently roll you forward into your next stride.

What’s New

The biggest change made to the Experience Flow is the name. Formerly known as the AltraFWD Experience, the Flow features the same stack height and heel-to-toe drop, and uses the same compression-molded EVA midsole foam. The Flow now comes in a sleeker design for a contemporary and adaptable style. It is also almost identical in weight compared to the previous version.

Who It’s Best For

When it comes to what to use this neutral daily trainer for, our run testers found it to be a fun ride for a variety of their workouts.

In our review, Travis said, “The Experience Flow felt comfortable for the slower paces while being light and responsive enough for the faster miles.”

For those looking to ease into Altra's foot-shaped geometry, the Experience Flow makes an excellent entry point without going full zero-drop. Runners with wide feet, or those who just appreciate some extra wiggle room, will also love the fit of the Experience Flow.

Why You’ll Love It

You’ll love the combination of the Experience Flow’s roomy toe box and propulsive rocker midsole that makes running feel effortless. “The midsole’s aggressive rocker shape is the hero in this story. It comes out as the champion among all of the other parts of the shoe. It was my knight in shining armor, my Prince Charming, my…okay, you get the idea,” Brandon says. “But seriously, the rocker shape makes this shoe so much fun to run in.”

Experience Flow

Steve J 1 week ago Verified Purchase

This is my first experience with Experience Flow. My feet just flow right into the shoes like water flowing in a river. So far this has been a great experience. I plan to experience a state of flow in my next ultramarathon with my Experience Flow shoes. Do you think I'm laying it on a bit thick? Not in my experience! Just laugh and go with the flow!

I love the Altra brand. I am hoping these shoes last better than the previous pair. Those ripped on the inside shortly after purchase. These shoes are comfy and I definitely feel the cushion while wearing. I will continue to buy this brand even though the others didn’t last as long as I would’ve liked.

All around fitness and training shoe.

By far the best fitness and training shoe I’ve ever owned. Owned several other brands, but this one fits the best for my particular workout regiment. Comfort, fit and durability is my main criteria for an athletic shoe.
