Altra, a leading innovator in the performance footwear category, today debuts a new approach to cross-training with the launch of the Solstice XT 2, revamping the brand’s ‘gym and training’ category. The Altra Solstice XT 2 is designed to deliver performance and versatility for every workout
The Altra Solstice XT 2 is an updated lightweight cross-trainer ready for all-day action. Building on the comfort and style of the brand’s original Solstice and Solstice XT gym shoe models, the new Solstice XT 2 offers a firmer caged upper to promote toe protection and provide a secure feel. Like all Altra shoes, the Solstice XT 2 features a Balanced Cushioning™ platform to position the heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, along with the brand’s signature FootShape™ toe box, allowing toes to spread naturally for maximum stability and power.
We’re excited to introduce this new addition to our lineup, providing a better-than-ever gym and training shoe option for our consumers, while knowing that strength training is increasingly important to runners. With new premium technical features and ultimate versatility, the Solstice XT 2 enables consumers to level up their training routine, and elevate their everyday.

Designed for in-the-gym weightlifting and plyometric movements, the Solstice XT 2 is a do-it-all cross-trainer that is also ready to get out on the road, so athletes can comfortably combine their gym workouts with shorter runs.

Combining the technical aspects of a performance shoe with ‘athleisure’ appeal, the Solstice XT 2 is a must-have for athletes seeking an all-encompassing strength and agility shoe that is ready for whatever the workout brings.
The Solstice XT 2 is available now in sleek black and white colorways at altrarunning.com, in men’s sizes 7 to 15 and women’s sizes 5.5 to 12, with a suggested retail price of $120.
