{"product_id":"king-mt-2-mens","title":"KING MT 2 Men's","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA technical trail shoe that keeps ground feel, with a low 19mm stack and 6mm lugs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALTRA KING MT 2 Men's is a trail running shoe that puts a Vibram® Megagrip Litebase™ outsole with 6mm lugs under a low platform of 19mm stack height and 0mm drop. In bringing it back, ALTRA made no changes to the specification and returned the KING MT 2 as it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than using thick cushioning to push the ground away, it is built around a low stack that lets you read the shape of the surface underfoot. StoneGuard™, a strap that locks down the forefoot and deep lugs are combined with it, supporting control on technical trails where the footing changes across rock, mud and steep ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6mm lugs combining Vibram® Megagrip and Litebase™\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outsole uses Vibram® Megagrip, which delivers grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The lugs are 6mm deep, deep enough to bite into loose dirt and mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLitebase™ is a Vibram technology that thins the base of the outsole, holding down rubber volume and weight while keeping lug depth and layout. On the KING MT 2 it is combined with the Megagrip rubber compound to keep grip at the contact surface while reducing sole weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outsole also has a structure designed for drainage, keeping water and mud from staying underfoot. Together with the deep lugs, it is a setup made for trails where contact conditions shift from wet ground to loose ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAltra EGO™ placed at a low 19mm stack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midsole is Altra EGO™ at a stack height of 19mm. It keeps the distance between the sole of the foot and the ground short, making the bumps and camber of the surface easier to read. At the same time the foam is not simply made thin; the responsiveness of EGO™ is kept to give cushioning while running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 0mm drop, the heel and forefoot sit at the same height. Together with the low stack, the foot sits close to the ground, a design suited to sharp changes of direction and to broken ground where you want to pick your foot placement in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStoneGuard™ protects the sole from sharp rock and trail debris\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA StoneGuard™ plate is built into the midsole. A low stack makes ground feel easy to read, but it also makes the jab of a sharp stone easier to feel. StoneGuard™ spreads that jab and supplements protection underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding protection with a plate instead of switching to thick cushioning keeps the low foot position and ground feel of the KING MT 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA forefoot strap locks down from the midfoot forward\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper uses a quick-drying material and adds a strap on the forefoot side in addition to the laces. Tightening the strap holds down movement between foot and shoe, supplementing hold when load shifts fore and aft on steep climbs and descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FootShape™ is Standard. It leaves room for the toes to spread while keeping the midfoot from moving too much inside the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGaiterTrap™ attaches a gaiter without an under-sole strap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heel carries GaiterTrap™, so compatible ALTRA gaiters attach without running a strap under the sole. It is a feature to use when you want to add a gaiter on trails where sand, grit and mud get in over the top of the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GaiterTrap™ compatible \u003ca href=\"\/en-en\/products\/altra-trail-gaiter\"\u003eALTRA TRAIL GAITER Unisex\u003c\/a\u003e can be combined with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA setup that puts control underfoot ahead of speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KING MT 2 is a model aimed at technical trail running and trail racing. The combination of a low 19mm foot position, StoneGuard™, 6mm lugs and a forefoot strap is a setup for judging where to place each footstrike, rather than smoothing the ground out with thick foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eALT101-060125-BLK***\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e292g (US10.5 \/ 28.5cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMidsole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAltra EGO™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutsole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVibram® Megagrip Litebase™ with 6mm lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStack height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUpper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurable quick-drying upper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStoneGuard™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGaiter compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGaiterTrap™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFootShape™\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"ALTRA","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ US8 (26.0cm)","offer_id":45205359460552,"sku":"197643606932","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ US8.5 (26.5cm)","offer_id":45205359493320,"sku":"197643607007","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ US9 (27.0cm)","offer_id":45205359526088,"sku":"197643607069","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ US9.5 (27.5cm)","offer_id":45205359558856,"sku":"197643607120","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ US10 (28.0cm)","offer_id":45205359591624,"sku":"197643607182","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/0308\/6024\/files\/king-mt-2-mens-01-black-main.jpg?v=1788508689","url":"https:\/\/rocksteppers.com\/en-en\/products\/king-mt-2-mens","provider":"ROCK STEPPERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
