With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Experience a smooth, natural rhythm in the Altra Experience Flow 3, a lightweight road runner designed to make every mile feel effortless. As part of Altra’s "Experience" line, the Flow 3 retains the brand's iconic natural fit while offering a subtle heel-to-toe drop that provides a familiar feel for runners transitioning into more natural footwear.
The Experience Flow 3 is the perfect choice for:
The "Altra-Curious": Runners who want the health benefits of a wide toe box but aren't ready to commit to a 0mm "Zero-Drop" platform.
Neutral Runners: Those looking for a stable, consistent ride without intrusive stability posts.
Daily Trainers: Athletes who need a reliable "do-it-all" shoe for their primary weekly mileage.
Walkers: Its accommodating shape and smooth roll make it an excellent choice for long walks and all-day comfort.
Daily Road Miles: Engineered specifically for the asphalt, offering a balance of protection and ground feel.
Recovery Runs: The softer foam and rocker shape take the pressure off tired legs.
Long Steady Efforts: Designed to maintain its "flow" over high mileage, helping you settle into a rhythm and stay there.
Midsole: Altra EGO™ P35 – A compression-molded foam that is lightweight, responsive, and updated to be slightly softer than previous versions for a more cushioned landing.
Natural Fit: Altra’s signature Standard FootShape™ allows your toes to splay naturally and encourages a more powerful toe-off.
Rocker Geometry: A curved sole design that assists your natural gait cycle, promoting an efficient, rolling transition from heel to toe.
Drop: 4mm – A low-drop offset that promotes natural body alignment while reducing strain on the Achilles and calves compared to traditional shoes.
Stack Height: 32mm (heel) / 28mm (forefoot).
Upper: New Engineered Mono-Mesh for enhanced breathability and a redesigned, plush heel collar for improved lockdown and Achilles comfort.
Weight: Approximately 255g (Men's UK 9.5) | 221g (Women's US 7.5).
The Altra Experience Flow 3 is a masterclass in "relaxed performance." By combining a spacious toe box with a gentle 4mm drop and a smooth rocker shape, it bridges the gap between traditional running shoes and natural footwear. It’s a lightweight, breathable, and incredibly consistent daily trainer that prioritizes foot health and comfort, allowing you to find your "flow state" on every run.
