Go the Distance in Altra Marathon Shoes

Perhaps it’s your first time running at all; maybe 26.2 is a number you eat for breakfast. Whatever your need for marathon shoes, there’s an Altra model to help you go the distance. 

Aiming for a road PR? Check out our Vanish family, which features the Carbon, a flexible and supportive racer, and the Tempo, a speedwork veteran that wants to train fast. All long distance running shoes from Altra are breathable, and a roomy toe box helps your feet avoid injury. Our Torin family is a great high-cushion option that’ll keep your feet comfortable while running any distance.

You can have a better shot at training safely and sustainably when your marathon training shoes promote your natural gait and let your toes splay the way they’re meant to. And with the natural propulsion that releases your true stride, you’ll be fast, too. 

Responsive Cushioning, Lightweight Design

Our collection of marathon shoes will support you as you ramp up those long runs. Zero-to-Low Drop doesn’t mean that your shoes don’t have any cushion; it just means that your feet can run in their natural alignment. While you’re looking for shoes to wear for your next race, find support from EGO™ and EGO™ PRO foams that give great energy return.

Altra designs footwear to go the distance—but just because they can carry you for 26.2 doesn’t mean that they’ll weigh you down. Choose the level of cushioning that suits your goals, from max cushion shoes for comfort on those weekend 20-milers, or lightweight low cushioned shoes with support for tempo runs. Whatever you choose to train with, all of them are ready for race day.
