Manage episode 498783632 series 2753099
This week on The Shakeout Podcast we bring you a conversation between Brian Beckstead, founder of pioneering low and no-drop running shoe maker Altra, and Canadian Running staff writer Marley Dickinson.
Brian joins the show for a conversation about his own journey in the sport, recapping how his years-long struggle with recurring injuries and decade-plus of experience in the run specialty retail world combined to form the kernel of Altra’s innovative approach to shoe design.
From their origins creating a shoe that emphasized natural movement through their signature low-drop, natural toe-box fit to the continuing innovation at the heart of the company today, tune it to hear how Brian and his team are on a mission to help athletes of all abilities run faster, further, and more naturally by using their feet the way nature intended.
