Emerging from the trail-specific Olympus, the Altra VIA Olympus is a highly cushioned road running shoe that promotes maximum comfort mile after mile. Equipped with a high stack of Altra's luxurious and lightweight EGO Max foam in the midsole, the VIA Olympus offers a fantastic blend of bounce and impact absorption. The shoe's plush underfoot feel is paired with a rocker shape which allows for a propulsive toe-off that keeps leg turnover efficient. Meanwhile, the Original FootShape Fit and signature 0mm drop design provides runners with a roomy fit and natural running experience. The upper is built with breathable mesh in the forefoot, and reinforcements from the midfoot back to ensure plenty of support. Rounding out this shoe is the rubber Innerflex outsole that continues to promote the concept of natural movement throughout the gait cycle. Overall, the Altra VIA Olympus is a great option for the runner looking for a max cushion shoe that encourages natural foot movement and will be comfortable even as the miles stack up.
