The Altra Experience Wild 2 is a versatile trail shoe designed for runners seeking a balance between comfort and performance. With a lighter, extra-roomy upper, this shoe provides an improved fit ideal for various foot shapes.
Lab results indicate the midsole maintains the same foam, which delivers a subpar energy return. This characteristic may limit its potential as a high-performance trail option for those prioritizing responsiveness in their footwear.
