Deep Dive
Why We Love the Altra Superior 6 Shoe
The Altra Superior 6 is designed for those who prefer a minimalist approach to trail running. It offers agile performance and a heightened sense of the terrain.
With a starting weight of just 9.5 ounces per shoe, the Superior 6 features a minimalist design that incorporates Altra's signature balanced cushioning, gender-specific fit, and Footshape toe boxes that allow for natural toe splay.
In its 2023 update, the Superior 6 introduces new ripstop uppers, which not only enhance durability but also improve breathability in the vamp area. Additionally, the Maxtrac outsoles have been tweaked to provide more durable tread and improved tactile traction.
