Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 87.6 / 100 — « We think the Altra Experience Flow 2 is exactly what version 1 should’ve been. In our lab tests and on our runs, we discovered a fun, fast-moving, and feather-light daily trainer that feels incredibly natural underfoot. The new EGO P35 foam finally delivers a lively ride that makes every stride more energetic, while the wide toebox provides outstanding room for toe splay. However, durability is a serious weak spot, and the limited airflow could be improved for hot-weather runs. But hey, we are happy that the Flow 2 finally flows! »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 86.6 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Altra Experience Flow 2 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient Altra EGO platform. A smart choice for runners looking for a 4.4 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • Running Shoes Guru : 84.9 / 100 — « Built by Altra around the Altra EGO midsole, the Experience Flow 2 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €180. »
