Altra Mont Blanc Boa

Features of the Altra Mont Blanc Boa

The Altra Mont Blanc Boa, honor to its name, is a shoes designed for mountain running, especially over long distances, even exceeding the marathon distance. A model with high profiles and the characteristic 0 mmdrop that the American company includes in all its shoes, which allows a more natural footprint not without comfort.

This new trail runningshoe provides great cushioning in each stride, something very necessary to face events such as ultra trails. We can not overlook its great fit and adaptability to each foot thanks to the Boa lacing system, so that the laces disappear in favor of a technology that allows you to fasten the shoes much faster and with the assurance that the foot vaya be subject at all times.

Ideal trail runner of the Altra Mont Blanc Boa

Despite being talking about a very comfortableshoe, the fact that the profile height is the same in the front and rear area means that getting used to this type of shoes requires a period of adaptation and it is even possible that not everyone can use them. Therefore, this Altra model is focused on runners who have experience running with low drop shoes (less than 6 mm) or even 0 mm drop.

Given their high profile and comfort, any runner can wear these Mont Blanc Boa, regardless of their weight. A shoe to cover long distances at medium and low paces, although thanks to its lightness we can move up a gear and use them for the most demanding training sessions. Therefore, a very versatile model.

Altra Mont Blanc Boa technical specifications

The Altra Mont Blanc guarantees constant cushioning thanks to the Altra EGO⢠MAX foam midsole. A compound that guarantees comfort in those moments when we need it most, as in the last stages of long distance races. The presence of the Standard FootShape⢠Fit only increases the feeling of comfort. This technology provides a high degree of toe freedom in the forefoot area of the shoe and prevents the foot from becoming constricted as the kilometers go by.

The dual-dial BOA® Fit System provides an unsurprisingly exquisite fit. Unlike the standard version, the Altra Mont Blanc, this lacing system means that in just a few seconds we are ready to head out for the mountains with the certainty that the level of pressure on the foot will always be the same. For the rest, it sports a breathable and lightweight material in the upper, where there is no shortage of protections in the toe area that, truth be told, go quite unnoticed.

The Utah company bets for a reliable outsole, including the VibramLitebase compound in it. A material that reduces the weight of the sole by 30% and its thickness by up to 50%. A sole with great adaptability and very good grip capacity in all types of terrain, which will perform somewhat better on more compact terrain or in long distance events where there are not too technical or alpine areas.

The Altra Mont Blanc Boa is a shoes with a very light weight despite incorporating the Boa framework. We have before us a high-end model to face with total guarantee long and ultra distance tests, hence its RRP of 220â¬. What you will certainly not experience is the comfort, freedom and security for the foot in each stride through the mountains.
