About the Altra Experience Wild 2 Trail Running Shoes
On the plush side for Altra, the Experience Wild 2 has a 4-millimeter drop and a rockered shape for a light and efficient gait during long runs on rough terrain. The trail shoes have a listed weight of 10.4 ounces for men and 8.8 ounces for women.
As part of the Experience line, this shoe has a compression-molded EVA foam for a light and responsive midsole. The rocker shape gives the feel of being pushed forward from toe off without interfering with your natural stride. You’ll still find Altra’s roomy FootShape fit, so your toes have plenty of room to splay and adapt to the terrain.
Underfoot, the brand’s grippy MaxTrac outsole offers traction and durability over trails in varied conditions. These shoes make great hiking companions, too.
