Product Highlights:
The Altra Experience Wild 3 is fully updated and squarely aimed at being their most approachable trail daily trainer for the great outdoors. There's plenty of range for all runners and hikers, whether you're a long-time trail fiend or just starting to explore unpaved paths.
As a near twin of the road-going Experience Flow, the Wild 3 features softly balanced EGO P35 midsole foam for the first time in its history. This change means you get enhanced step-in comfort and better ground adaptation, while retaining smooth runnability. Like other members of the Experience family, its gentle 4 mm drop promotes higher running efficiency on flats and greater calf relaxation on climbs.
For better grip and durability over moderate mixed terrain, the sticky MaxTrac outsole offers increased rubber coverage and broader lugs. With equal focus on improved upper comfort and security, the refined fit offers a plush tongue and redesigned ankle collar. This pleasantly padded interior is paired with a more abrasion-resistant exterior and a tougher TPU toe cap for protection when the going gets rough.
Altogether, these top-to-bottom updates make the Altra Experience Wild 3 a can't-go-wrong pick for running, hiking, and mixing it up on trails, wherever your training takes you.

Technologies
MIDSOLE
- EGO P35 is a compression-molded OBC (olefin block copolymer) blend, created for lightweight, balanced, and smooth running economy. It combines with a new sockliner for an improved underfoot feel.
- Rocker geometry produces seamless and easy transitions from foot strike to toe-off.
OUTSOLE
- MaxTrac rubber features greater coverage and broad wider-spaced lugs for greater performance versatility across soft and hard surfaces and moderate technical terrain.
UPPER
- 100% recycled rolled mesh creates a refined overall fit, with tough abrasion resistance and ghillie eyelets for adaptable security for different foot types.
- GaiterTrap system provides a hook-and-loop heel tab as a strapless attachment point to secure optional trail gaiters to help keep out debris.
- Standard FootShape fit is Altra's most common, right in the middle of Original and Slim. It gives your forefoot room for its natural alignment, allowing your foot to act as a strong and stable foundation.
