| Alta King MT 2.0s and the original version |
The original Altra King MTs have long been a favourite of mine for everything on the trail: long and short, wet and dry. Even thought they are supposedly only for short, wet and muddy.
The Vibram sole give you a ground feel no other Altras I’ve tried does, except maybe the original Superiors.
But I love the update, even more than the originals. Although time will tell.
The 2.0s fix a problem I thought was inherent in having Vibram soles: they felt disconnected from the rest of the shoe and could leave your foot to move about a bit (even with a good fit).
But no. This problem is not a given because it’s been solved in the 2.0s. The more sturdy upper holds your foot perfectly to the Vibram sole. So Altra’s made a good shoe better.
The 2.0s are also a bit lighter than the originals (310g vs 330g in EU size 46).
