Underfoot, the Altamesa 300 uses a plush, highly responsive midsole with a 6 mm drop and a generous stack that provides long-distance comfort without feeling overly unstable.

The foam delivers a springy, energetic ride, making the shoe suitable for everything from daily dog walks to long trail sessions. A forefoot rock-plate adds protection on uneven terrain, while the SURFACE CTRL rubber outsole with 4 mm lugs is built for mixed trails, light mud and gravel paths.

The upper is soft and well-ventilated, with a secure midfoot wrap and a toe box that several reviewers compare favourably to popular high-cushion models. Some noted the shoe feels slightly roomy or runs half a size big, but most found it true-to-size once properly laced.

One customer who hikes in Colorado said the shoe is “comfortable with good support,” while another mentioned that it dried quickly after being soaked on a wet trail.

The Altamesa 300 delivers cushioned comfort, durability and everyday versatility. Reviewers use it for hiking, walking, commuting, travelling and trail running, with one saying simply: “I’d walk miles in these.” When a shoe earns that kind of praise and goes on offer, it’s worth paying attention!
