Did the sidewalk just get softer? The men's Altra Via Olympus combines the signature Altra fit with maximum cushioning for an all-new sensation while cruising on pavement. Designers stuffed the Via Olympus full of its EGO Max midsole for a plush ride on asphalt, concrete and any other hard surface you come across. But even with the tall stack of foam, the Via Olympus stays true to Altra’s other running shoes: It still sits on a 0 mm heel to toe drop for a natural stance and ride. Altra’s FootShape toe box gives your foot just the right amount of space, and the mesh upper lets your feet breathe when the miles start piling up. With the softest ride in the Altra lineup, the men's Via Olympus gives you a plush, comfortable ride for all the miles ahead. Want the max-cushion experience on the trail?
