New Fall 2022 Shoes
Fall is a bustling time in the run specialty world. New shoes and updates are dropping left and right, and that means new shoes at Terra! Check out some of our newest offerings.
Altra Via Olympus
While we’re excited about all our new models, the Via Olympus might be the standout of the bunch. The first max cushion road shoe from Altra, the Via comes with a whopping 33 mm of foam underfoot! That’s the same as the Bondi 8, but without any drop to the forefoot, the Via is actually a thicker shoe. If you didn’t know, Altra has three different shoe fits: Slim, Standard, and Original. The Via is Original, meaning it’s got maximum space for your toes to splay, and a mile-wide, stable platform. This shoe’ll work best for those running major miles on the road, working long shifts on their feet, or looking for a cushy recovery day shoe. Don’t be fooled by the marshmallow look, though: with its rockered shape, the Via will still keep you moving if you pick up the pace.
Altra Provision 7
It would be easy to let the launch of the Via Olympus overshadow a small update to an Altra classic, but certainly don’t ignore the Provision 7. Though it’s billed as a daily trainer, the Provision 7 is an astoundingly soft shoe. Coming in a little slimmer and lighter than the Via, this is a do-it-all road trainer. It’s a stability shoe without feeling clunky, and the rubber outsole is aggressive enough that I’d feel comfortable taking it offroad. This is an ideal shoe for someone looking to try Altra for the first time.
ON Cloudflyer 4
While not an overhaul, the Clouflyer 4 is a welcome update to a solid daily trainer. ON has prioritized comfort with this iteration: the tongue is pillow-plush, the ride is a tad softer than the previous version, and they’ve expanded the dual-density foam to enhance stability. The Cloudflyer also comes in a wide option, a rarer offering for ON.
ON Cloud X
We’re amped to announce the addition of a mixed-sport shoe into our lineup! Many of our customers come in looking for a gym shoe, something they can do a little bit of everything in. While most of our shoes are versatile enough for gym use, the Cloud X is our first shoe built for the gym. It’s lightweight, low profile, stable, and a bit firmer than a traditional running shoe, making it perfect for a fast-paced, explosive workout where you change direction and activity often. You can run in these shoes, but we recommend keeping those runs short and indoors, which is where the Cloud X is designed to excel.
Brooks Ghost 15
The Ghost is one of Brooks all time best sellers for a reason. It is a go-to trainer for any situation with great fit and durability. For this15th iteration, Brooks has updated the cushioning to be lighter and slightly less dense resulting in a plusher shoe. They have also improved the upper with a 3D print fit for added structure. But Ghost fans don’t have to worry, Brooks knows better than to mess with their customers’ favorite. Fans of the Ghost will love this new update.
