Altra Solstice Training Shoes
The Altra Solstice is a breathable, soft, flexible and affordable training shoe with a mesh upper, soft midsole and an outsole durable enough for everyday wear.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. The upper construction also features foot-shape technology which allows the toes to be relaxed within the shoe. It allows them to spread out naturally with the big toe remaining in a straight position for additional comfort, speed and stability. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
EVA Midsole
The midsole of the Altra Solstice Training Shoes uses a soft and cushioned EVA which provides ample underfoot cushioning. EVA resides in the midsole to guarantee optimal cushioning and comfort with each and every stride. The EVA improves comfort, performance and responsiveness to deliver plush underfoot cushioning with ample reinforcement to lessen the impact placed on the joints during exercise. This significantly reduces the wear and tear, as well as minimising the potential risk of injury. Completing the midsole is a zero-drop platform which cushioning levels at the heel and forefoot are the same. This allows the feet to have a more natural alignment with the ground and provides you with added stability so you can run faster and further for longer.
Foot Pod Outsole
The Solstice features an outsole technology that maps the bones and tendons of your foot to help it bend and move naturally so you can find a position that works for you. By allowing your foot to move naturally the solstice adapts to your running gait to increase comfort and reduce the risk of injury. Completing the outsole are flex grooves which work to increase traction and grip of varied surfaces. The grooved have been cut out of the midsole to reduce overall weight and ensure traction when. They offer a multi-directional grip that flex as you move for more speed and a better performance.
