The i-Run team says
The Altra Superior 5 women's shoe gives you the confidence to hit your favourite trails with ease.
Designed for maximum grip, the MaxTrac outsole guarantees durability and reliability. TrailClaw technology increases the phenomenon of traction both uphill and downhill thanks to its cleats, strategically placed under the metatarsals.
The upper is made up of soft mesh to ensure a comfortable fit while guaranteeing ideal breathability. The wrap-around tongue system ensures optimal comfort and reliable support.
The foam in the midsole grants you high-performance cushioning and contributes to the sensation of lightness. The Toe Box FootShape helps your toes sit naturally for stability conducive to acceleration.
The removable StoneGuard insole enhances your well-being through its protection from stones and other obstacles on hilly routes. Balanced Cushioning technology positions your heel and forefoot at the same height as the ground to limit impact.

Technologies
-
Zero Drop
Flat cushioning. The Zero Drop platform offers total cushioning and places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground. This natural balance helps keep the feet, back, and body posture aligned to minimize shocks. Additionally, the Achilles tendon and lower calf muscles, weakened by wearing running shoes with elevated heels, are strengthened.
-
Foot-Shaped Toe Box
The FootShape toe box allows the toes to spread naturally and comfortably while keeping the big toe straight. This improves stability and increases the propulsion strength of the toes, optimizing running performance.
Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
-
StoneGuard
Integrated under the insole, the StoneGuard material protects the foot with flexibility on uneven terrain, deflecting rocks under the midsole for a smoother and more stable run.
-
TrailClaw
Studs positioned directly under the metatarsals at the front of the shoe for optimal traction both uphill and downhill.
-
GaiterTrap
Self-gripping strap that allows for easy attachment of the gaiters to prevent debris from forming under the shoe.
-
Balanced Cushioning
The Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at the same height from the ground. This natural base helps to properly align the body, maintain better form, and promote low-impact ground contact.
