Lace up and take off with the Superior 5.

Buy Men’s Altra Superior 5 in Australia at a reasonable price The Superior is the closest you can get to running barefoot while still reaping the benefits of a traditional trail-running shoe—gaiter attachments, resilient mesh, and a grippy tread. One standout feature of the Superior is the removable stone guard, a pliable yet protective full-length insert you tuck under the insole. This “take it or leave it” component caters to trail runners who want the extra buffer underfoot as well as those partial to the ground feel that a thin, flexible midsole delivers. Yank it and you save nearly an ounce of weight, too.
