Altra Men's AL0A546V Solstice XT 2 Cross Training Shoe

Product Information

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. Shoes are made in many factories around the world and even models within the same brand can be quite different. The Altra Solstice XT 2 is a solid cross-training shoe for wider-footed athletes who like having larger toe boxes in their training shoes.

To keep the shoe responsive and supportive, they added the cage over the midfoot, which is slightly tight.

Altra's FootShape toebox has annoyed us at times in other modules, but in the XT it seems to do a good job of accommodating a wider range of toe configuration. As an Altra official retailer, all our offered running and triathlon items are covered by a 2 years manufacturer´s warranty.

The only real critique I’ve heard about is a lack of durability during high-abrasion activities like climbing ropes or ladders during obstacle course racing (OCR). The shoe is also lightweight, with a weight of 10 oz, making it easy to wear for extended periods of time. The only caveat is that the external support structure, the cage, can rub a bit if it's tied too tight at the far end near the forefoot.The Solstice XT has a very flat midsole and outsole to allow for good, balanced planting when performing static exercises. This model provides a mid-range level of stability and a fair amount of responsiveness with its high-abrasion EVA midsole.
