ATHLO+
More Running Shoe Brands Compared
Looking beyond the big names? Some of the most distinctive shoes in the ATHLO+ Shoe Lab come from smaller makers.
Here are 65 models from 20 brands outside the biggest ten — Altra, Salomon, Topo Athletic and the rest — each with a full set of specs, grouped by maker and compared on published figures.
Why These Brands Share a Page
Each has only a handful of models in the Lab, which is the only reason they share one page. It says nothing about how much they matter. Among them you will find:
- The Zero-Drop Specialists: Shoes with no height difference between heel and forefoot.
- The Trail-First Makers: Brands that build for the trail before the road.
- The Plate Holdouts: Brands that never chased the carbon-plate arms race.
