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.

So comfortable and cushiony
Love the fit of these Altras, which are true to size. The minimal heel drop is awesome. The toe box is wide and comfy. I run ~15 miles per week, and these are great for a casual runner like me.

My 2nd pair, love them
I have narrow feet but discovered my toes do like a bit of extra space & these are perfect. I tie up the heel lock and have an insert and they’re terrific. Ran a marathon in an older pair, different color (pink), and I am planning to run more marathons in these. Recommend. Also got the trail version (Wild) and love them too.
