Experience Wild is Altra's low-drop trail line rather than its zero drop one, and the 3 sits at a 4 mm drop with a 32 mm heel, on EGO P35 foam with a MaxTrac outsole. It is the shoe for runs that start on pavement and end on dirt.
It suits you if you want Altra's foot-shaped fit without committing to zero drop, or if you are working toward zero drop and want a step on the way. The cushioning is moderate: enough for a couple of hours out, not so much that you lose the ground.
It is not a mountain shoe. The lugs are shallow by trail standards, and it gives up grip on wet rock and deep mud to a dedicated technical outsole.
