Cushion is a key component of correctly categorizing current-day clogs. Just another way of saying that certain features define shoes as landing in a particular category. High cushion means distance shoe. Lightweight means race shoe. How about a highly cushioned, lightweight shoe with great trail feel? If that’s your jam, then Altra’s Mont Blanc shoe is sure to please. Boasting a 30mm stack height built on an Altra EGO™MAX midsole, you can crush miles without crushing your joints. Utilizing Altra’s well-known Standard FootShape design you will have plenty of room to move naturally and efficiently. Balanced Cushioning leads to a zero drop platform, something Altra has stuck with since its inception. With a focus on creating shoes that work with you instead of against you, Altra has entered the race shoe realm with an outstanding offering right away. The Mont Blanc is a fun, lively, and lightweight option for long races or long runs.
