ALTRA Men's VIA Olympus 2 Road Running Shoe

VIA OLYMPUS 2 | BIG ON COMFORT AND MILES

Comfort. Performance. We built it for both. The new VIA Olympus 2 features a softer Altra EGO MAX midsole foam, with the same generous stack height but light, luxurious (and squishier) cushion. A plush footbed for an improved step-in feel. Get that “ahh” feeling as you lace up and let it follow you with every step. Rocker shape geometry encourages an efficient toe-off and a refined molded heel collar ensures a comfortable, secure fit. Room for your toes and zero drop create Altra’s natural fit, so you can move the way you were designed to. It’s a shoe made to go big on comfort, so you can go big on miles.

BALANCED CUSHIONING

Our Balanced Cushioning platform positions your heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, encouraging better alignment, better form, and a low impact landing.

FOOTSHAPE

Our signature FootShape comfort gives your feet more space to sit naturally and is designed to address biological differences in men's and women's feet.

OUR BRAND

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running.

OUR PURPOSE

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION

Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.
