The Experience Flow 3 is the best entry point for beginners trying Altra for the first time. The 4mm drop is easier to adapt to than zero-drop, and 32mm heel cushioning provides ample protection. The rocker geometry promotes smooth transitions. Start with 2-3km and add 1km every two weeks to let your body adapt to low-drop shoes.
