Hit the trails with confidence in the Altra Experience Wild 2.

This trail-ready shoe is the perfect blend of lightweight performance and trail-ready toughness that'll help you embrace every moment on the path less traveled. Whether you're tackling your first trail race or logging some peaceful weekend miles away from the crowds, the Experience Wild 2 provides the grip and protection you need without weighing you down.

Details:

  • Upper: The updated breathable upper with Altra's Standard FootShape fit keeps your feet comfortable even on those longer trail days, while the increased TPU overlays provide extra protection from rocks and roots. Altra added an integrated D-ring for gaiters and an extra lacing eyelet so you can dial in your perfect fit.
  • Midsole: The lightweight compression-molded midsole strikes that sweet spot between cushioning and ground feel, helping you connect with the trail while still protecting your feet. The subtle 4 mm drop and rocker shape work together to help you maintain your natural stride over varied terrain.
  • Outsole: The trusted MaxTrac outsole delivers reliable grip across wet rocks, loose dirt and everything in between. It's designed to give you confidence on technical descents and provide traction when you're pushing the pace on rolling singletrack.

I have the experience flow 2 & was looking for a trail shoe. I tried Hokas, hated the fit and the style. So tried these and they fit perfectly and they are great on the trails. If you like other altra’s, you’ll love these too.

Best trail shoe!

By far, the most stable shoe I’ve ever worn. I had a bad ankle accident 5 yrs ago, and always look for shoes to help with stability. These are the best! My daily trail runs and walks have been awesome since I started wearing these. Plus they’re so comfortable. True to size

Love these!

I wear a size 8 in my every day shoe but went up to a size 8.5 in these. The ankle cutout doesn’t rub my ankle bone- which isn’t always the case with athletic shoes.

walking/hiking shoe.

I have 'problematic feet' from a lifetime of heavy use and abuse. The store manager was great, listened to my many concerns and adapted his recommendations for my needs. He also gave rec'd to manage plantar fascitis conditions. The shoes provide a nice fit for my problem feet. I'm thrilled that some one (this company) has made shoes that have a longer large toe area AND good cushioning. This shoe will be used for forest trails and street walking. Reason it doesn't get a 5 star is that I REALLY wish it was WATERPROOF (gortex or similar). I live in PNW: it rains here-often. Enough said.
