Altra Running, who trade in the UK as Altra Footwear, are most often referred to simply as Altra. They were founded in 2009 when their founder Golden Harper observed that barefoot runners adopt a different posture than runners in trainers. This was because all running trainers were higher at the heel than at the toe. He subsequently developed a running shoe where the heel and the toes are in a natural alignment. He decided to call this new design the Zero Drop.
