Altra Experience Flow 2

Second-generation 4mm-drop daily trainer with Altra's new EGO P35 foam, which reviewers found noticeably softer and springier than v1. A versatile everyday shoe for low-drop fans who want a natural but cushioned ride. Heel strikers who prefer traditional 8-10mm drops may not adapt.
