The Alma Speed was created for athletes who thrive on intensity-short road races, fast intervals, and peak-effort sessions where every stride counts. The foundation is the same female-focused fit that defines all Hettas footwear: a narrowed heel that stays locked without pressure, a rounded instep, and a stretchy breathable toe box. The Speed leverages our firmest, race-ready iteration of our VeloPropulsion system. A Pebax plate works with a responsive layer of supercritical foam to deliver direct ground feedback, rapid rebound, and efficient toe-off mechanics. This tuned stiffness supports quick turnover with less metatarsal or sacrum strain, as is common with carbon-plated shoes.
