Quality for maximum performance
Remember this name: Altra Mont Blanc BOA. Without a doubt, this is one of the best Trail Running shoes of the season. A plane that is hitting hard in the catalog of 365Rider and that more than meet the demands of the most demanding mountain runners.
One of the flagship models of Altra that takes a step forward so as not to go unnoticed: design, quality, colors and even its name “Mont Blanc”, referring to the most famous ultra trail in the world UTMB in which the great has just been crowned again Kilian Jornet.
High competition design
It is a competition shoe, with a minimalist upper (which evokes the big asphalt cars) and a BOA closure double dial: a lower one that takes two straps for the lower part of the instep and a larger upper one that ensures grip BOA mm throughout the rest of the foot.
As we discussed, the upper It's a bet with a lightweight design with the padding raised in its minimum expression to convey that feeling of lightness and speed so demanded by runners when facing their most demanding competitions.
Ego Pro
All the Altra Mont Blanc BOA are the evolution of one of Altra's long-distance reference models, the Mont Blanc. A fast model that incorporates the compound Ego Pro on its midsole. It is a soft, but reactive compound that responds very quickly when situations demand it. The Ego Pro It adjusts to a 30 mm profile, both front and rear, which leads to the classic Altra 0mm drop.
Grip, traction and durability in the mountains
The dynamic of competition that engulfs Altra Mont Blanc BOA requires the use of the brand's reference compound in its lightest version: Vibram Megagrip Litebase. Models like the Adidas Terrex o the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V7 They ride this competition compound.
It is a type of rubber in which lightness prevails to conserve energy and improve performance: reduces the total weight of the sole by 30% by reducing the thickness of the compound by 50%. Of course they maintain the Vibram quality standards regarding the trail running trinity: grip, traction and durability.
El tacked It is of medium prominence, but very populated to promote adhesion in tmore compact terrain and not very technical.
Type of broker
These are the shoes of those who want to win races. The very light runners (-70 kilos) who run at very happy paces and seek to improve their records. And as for its optimal distance, what can we say? The name Mont Blanc evokes the UTMB and there in the Medium and long distance with easier terrain is where these will shine. Altra Mont Blanc BOA.
BOA takes the mountain
All the Mont Blanc BOA They represent Altra's first collaboration with another commercial firm. The Colorado brand has decided to bet on BOA, a company that patented a shoe fastening system that dispensed with laces.
His founder, Gary Hammerslag, was looking for an easier and faster way to lace up his snowboard boots instead of laces. The cold and the gloves made tying and untying the boots a herculean task. He went there for the 2001 when he patented this new system currently present in all sectors, not only sports and outdoor, but even in safety boots, medical equipment...
It is a system that inevitably evokes the ccyclist elevation where it has reigned for decades to the point that it has banished the micrometric system and that little by little it is making its way into the world of running. Models like the New Balance opened the season with its 1500T2 Boa model and the world of Trail Running, in which foot fixation is essential, has embraced it strongly. A leading company in the mountains like ALTRA I couldn't live turning my back on this revolution.
