ALTRA ZERODROP Intuition and Instinct   

Fall Running Shoe Review: Competitor Magazine's Most Innovative 

Men's INSTINCT & Women's INTUITION

Arriving in September! 

"Enjoy the benefits of better running technique without sacrificing the full cushioning & support you love in your traditional running shoes."

• Zero Drop from heel to toe encourages better landing angles and bone structure positioning for vastly reduced impact on knees, hips, lower back, and more.
• Foot Shaped Design allows for full toe spread and is particularly helpful for bunions, neuromas, blisters, & forefoot pain. 
• A-Bound energy return layer compresses less than 10% (compared to 70-90% for traditional running shoe foam)
• Women's model is completely female specific---accounting for a Women's narrower heel, broader forefoot, longer instep, higher arch & more for a fit that is uniquely female.

Next Class: Monday October 17: 6:15-7:30pm.
