The result features our luxurious and responsive Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam, a slimmer aesthetic that . Compared to the running version of the Altra Solstice, the Solstice XT’s upper is relatively well-structured. Our FootShape™ toe box, Balanced Cushioning and Fit4Her™ technology work together with the full rubber outsole for better fit and performance.

This shoe delivers a “barefoot-like” position with its zero-drop construction but with a little cushion. While it has okay stability, it's not going to be your best cross-training shoe for maxing out your lifts. It's certainly not like a big Brooks shoe with expansion joints and buttressing and all of the other things that go into snapping your foot back into position.Altra is a brand known for creating running and training shoes that are zero-drop and built to be wider, especially through the toe box. It's the ultimate cross-trainer, built for all your workout needs and ready to get out on the road for a run. The Solstice XT 2 also features Altra’s patented FootShape toe box, which allows your toes to spread out naturally, promoting proper form and reducing the risk of injury.

In summary, the Altra Solstice XT 2 is a versatile cross-training shoe that is perfect for zero-drop enthusiasts who are looking for a shoe that can handle a variety of activities. Additionally, the midfoot and heel have an inner layer that's just slightly more rigid than the normal mesh, also providing protection against abrasion and wear. Jake has a Masters in Sports Science, a Bachelors in Exercise Science, a CSCS, and he's been personal training for over 10 years helping hundreds of clients get stronger, lose weight, and accomplish their goals. The 0mm heel-to-toe drop, wider toe box, and low-profile cushion help to attribute to this shoe’s overall stability.That confers more protection against both abrasion and the sort of degradation that would come from constantly being stretched and flexed. Our road shoes feature FootPod technology that maps the bones and tendons of your foot to provide a natural, easy flex.

He uses his exercise science brain and personal training background to make curated and thoughtful review content on the fitness gear he's testing.To my knowledge, it is the only lightweight cross-trainer that provides both zero drop and wide toe box.

The Balanced Cushioning in this shoe is also a nice touch that feeds really well into the Innerflex tech.There really aren’t any other dedicated cross-training options out there that combine the Solstice XT’s unique blend of a wide toe box, zero drop, and lightness for competing shoes. By its nature, the XT is not going to have the same landing comfort as a big maximalist model or feel natural to everyone. This model supports lighter and moderate loads well and I've squatted up to 315 lbs and deadlifted up to 455 lbs in this shoe. They're zero drop, of course, but don't look goofy like most other zero drop training shoes on the market.
