Brian Beckstead | Altra co-founder on shaking up the running shoe industry

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. Checkout AltraSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Follow The Shakeout Podcast @shakeoutpodcast
