The all-new Mont Blanc is designed for all-day trail excursions. Inspired by the highest mountain in the Alps, this trail cruiser uses Altra’s EGO™ MAX midsole and Standard FootShape™ Fit for ultimate comfort. Designed with a Vibram® LiteBase outsole, you’ll find traction on any terrain. Altra have strategically added material where it’s needed and removed material where it’s not, resulting in a lightweight, breathable design ready to take on the trails.

Features

• Standard FootShape Fit
• FootShape™ Toe Box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position for more stability and a powerful toe-off to maximise running performance
• Altra EGO™ Max midsole foam gives you light and luxurious performance with a little extra bounce and added durability
• Vibram® Litebase reduces 30% of the overall sole weight through a reduction of the sole thickness by 50%, while maintaining Vibram quality in grip, traction, and durability
• Balanced cushioning places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run
   

Zero-Drop

Keeping your heel and toes level, zero-drop shoes mimic your natural barefoot position, encouraging a better midfoot or forefoot strike. Balanced cushioning ensures comfort for long distances, whilst the lack of additional, beefy cushioning in the heel reduces the impact of your landing and helps to improve your posture.

Like with anything, what works for some people doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Differences in anatomy and individual biomechanics may mean that zero-drop shoes aren’t for you, particularly if you’ve got flat feet or you’re dealing with abnormal foot pain.
