ALTRA Women's Via Olympus 2

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes, taking the brand from the back room of a specialty running store to the forefront of roads and trails worldwide. With innovation at the core, the founders created their first shoe using a toaster oven, kickstarting the signature shoe construction to help wearers move naturally - a foundation that has kept the brand going strong for over a decade.

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is the purpose behind Altra Running. This purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and helping people find their full potential.

The wide-lacing system inspired the brand's signature FootShape design, encouraging natural foot movement. Meanwhile, the household toaster oven that birthed the original shoe has gone on to inspire thousands to unleash their human potential through FootShape and Balanced Cushioning - the foundation of Altra Running's innovative, disruptive approach.

The VIA Olympus 2 is a prime example of Altra's commitment to comfort and performance. Featuring a softer Altra EGO MAX midsole foam with a generous stack height, the shoe offers a light, luxurious, and plush cushioning experience. The rocker shape geometry encourages efficient toe-off, while the refined molded heel collar ensures a comfortable, secure fit.

Altra's Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, promoting better alignment, form, and a low-impact landing. The signature FootShape comfort gives the feet more space to sit naturally, addressing biological differences between men's and women's feet.

Alongside the VIA Olympus 2, Altra offers a range of running shoes, including the Paradigm 7, Rivera 3, Torin 7, and Escalante 3, all designed with the brand's innovative approach to natural movement and comfort.

The VIA Olympus 2 features a 100% synthetic fabric upper with a rubber sole and engineered mesh outer material, secured with a lace-up closure. Weighing 9.6 ounces, the shoe has a 33mm stack height and a rocker geometry for an efficient toe-off.

Backed by positive customer reviews, the VIA Olympus 2 and Altra's other running shoes demonstrate the brand's commitment to unleashing human potential through innovative, natural-movement-focused design.
