My First Pair of Running Shoes
When I started running the first pair of running shoes that I bought was a brand called Altra. I hadn’t heard of it either… but it looked like a great shoe to try! I have wider feet so Nike shoes are just not going to cut it for me. I tried the Altra Torin Zero Drop Running Shoe and I loved it! I am a flat foot runner and my ankle needs support along with my feet needing some cushion. My only concern that I had with the shoe is that it forced me to over use my achilles and I actually experienced sharp pains after a few weeks of running. This could have been from lack to stretching before running. I switched shoes and have not had that same pain. Read about the shoe that I switched to.
These are the technical deals for the Altra Torin Zero Drop Shoe – perfect for flat footed runners:
- Quick-Dry Mesh
- Rubber sole
- Improved Upper Design and Durability
- 5 mm Contour Footbed
