Altra Via Olympus

The Altra Via Olympus is a hotly anticipated and exciting addition to the Altra road shoe range, bringing a combination of the brand’s well known, much loved technologies and a new rocker design midsole shape. With the most cushioning of any Altra road shoe, the Via Olympus is a wonderfully cushioned shoe which also delivers a propulsive, energetic feel through its use of rocker-style technology. The Via Olympus uses the same accommodating Original FootShape Fit as its trail counterparts, the Olympus 5 and Lone Peak 7, to give a comfortable roomy feel on longer road runs. In line with all other models in the Altra range, the Via Olympus uses a Balanced Cushioning Platform to give a natural feel when placing your foot and encourages low-impact form throughout your run. But the real revelation in this shoe is the propulsive effect of the energy-efficient rocker-shaped midsole! When paired with the responsive cushioning of the 33mm EGO MAX midsole (formed of compression moulded EVA foam), the resultant running experience is a pleasantly quick and smooth one. The stack height also means the protective feel of the shoe when covering long road miles is outstanding. The engineered mesh upper has plenty of room to allow the feet to spread naturally or to swell during the longest runs and delivers a comfortable and supportive fit.
