Personally, I suffered really painful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/mortons-neuroma\/basics\/definition\/con-20026482\" target=\"_blank\">Mortons Neuroma- <\/a>nerve damage from many years of too narrow shoes. The\u00a0 Altra&#8217;s FootShape\u2122 toe box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position. This enhances stability and creates a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance. We wish we could call it some scientific breakthrough, but we&#8217;re simply giving your foot the working space it needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QFGt8leVsAo\" target=\"_blank\">Watch the Video <\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Benefits:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Keeps big toe straight for greater stability and a more powerful toe-off<\/li>\n<li>Allows toes to relax and spread out naturally<\/li>\n<li>Allows foot to naturally stabilize excess pronation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Replicating Perfection<\/h3>\n<p>The human foot is an anatomical masterpiece. It&#8217;s designed for stability, speed, and to get you from point A to point B. At Altra, we choose not to mess with perfection and simply let your foot do its thing. Every Altra shoe features a last that has been molded around the healthy position of a human foot. A shoe last is a 360-degree model of a foot used to create the shoe&#8217;s heel, instep, and toe box dimensions. Unlike other shoe companies that alter the last to make the shoe look more sleek and fast, we&#8217;ve chosen to let your foot decide the shape of the shoe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A foot shaped shoe!
