Expert Review Sources

  • RoadTrailRun : 74.2 / 100 — « Across our trail & montagne testing on trail, the Altra Experience Wild 2 earns high marks from our multi-tester panel for its smooth, predictable transition (a 6.1 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 6.1 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • iRunFar : 73.8 / 100 — « Pairing Altra's Altra EGO platform with a 6.1 mm drop, the Experience Wild 2 locks the foot down securely on steep descents while preserving muscular energy over long hours (a 6.1 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
  • RunRepeat : 74.6 / 100 — « In our experience, the Altra Experience Wild 2 is a clear mix of highs and lows. We really liked the lighter, extra-roomy upper, which feels much better than before and noticeably improves the fit. But we also found in the lab that the midsole still uses the same foam with subpar energy return, and from our perspective this single issue stops the shoe from becoming the fantastic trail option it could have been. »
