Road running, walking and speedwork for runners who value flexibility, ground feel and a zero-drop platform. The women’s Regular fit uses Altra’s roomiest Original FootShape™ fit. A gradual transition is sensible for anyone unaccustomed to zero drop; runners seeking plush maximum cushioning may prefer a higher-stack model.
Key Benefits
Connected, flexible ride
A low 24 mm stack keeps the foot close to the road and lets the platform flex naturally.
Responsive everyday foam
Altra EGO™ foam balances comfort with enough response for steady runs and quicker efforts.
Room for natural movement
Original FootShape™ provides Altra’s roomiest toe box and space through the midfoot.

Finally found a store that actually understands runners.
I was dealing with knee pain for months — every other store tried selling me random shoes. Motion Lab actually asked about my pace, surface and training plan. They recommended the Brooks Ghost and it completely changed my runs. Zero pain now.

Delivered in 24 hours — literally saved my race weekend.
I ordered On Cloudmonster 2 the day before a 10K race, expecting it to arrive after the event. Not only did it arrive the next morning, they even WhatsApp’d me with tips for breaking them in safely. Unreal service.

The only store in Israel that actually stocks the latest Hoka releases.
I’ve been waiting months for the Hoka Mach X — every big chain still didn’t have it. Motion Lab had it first, in my size, and even let me exchange after one run when I wasn’t sure about the fit. Customer service at another level.
