A Responsive Daily Trainer Offering A Smooth and Efficient Ride
The Altra Experience Flow (a rebrand of the previous AltraFWD Experience) brings lightweight cushioning to your daily runs and workouts. Featuring a mild rocker shape geometry, the Experience Flow guides you forward while encouraging natural foot placement. It also sports a lower 4 mm offset, that synergizes well with the propelling rocker-shape geometry.
To help cushion each step, Altra uses a compression-molded EVA foam in the midsole that feels lightweight and responsive. This midsole foam combined with the rocker-shaped profile makes it easy to pick up the pace in the Experience Flow, letting you crush whatever workout is ahead of you.
Let your toes spread naturally in the Experience Flow with the signature Standard FootShape™, giving you plenty of toe space while securing your midfoot. You’ll also experience enhanced breathability thanks to the lightweight engineered mesh upper.
The Altra Experience Flow works incredibly well as a lightweight daily trainer that doubles up to take on your speed workouts.

I have a couple pairs of Altra Experience Flow. They are lightweight with great cushioning. Perfect for running or a long day on your feet at work!

Great, but not for me
I ran about 15 miles in this shoe to discover it was not a great fit for me. The toebox just did not feel wide or tall enough - tried sizing up 1/2 size and had the same issue. The soles were comfortable. Wish they fit better with my foot!

Feels great, a little warm
I bought the Altra Experience Flow to replace my third pair of Rivera 3’s and overall I like the shoe a lot. My one con is that the upper isn’t quite as breathable as I’d prefer (especially for summer running) but maybe that’ll be helpful in the winter. The foam feels pretty good underfoot and the 4 mm offset works well for me. I’ve worn these for 14 mile runs with fast and slow sections with no complaints.
