Via Olympus 2 Running Shoe - Women's

Altra EGO MAX foam is a lightweight and responsive cushioning material used in the midsole of the Altra Via Olympus 2. It provides maximum cushioning while ensuring energy return, which means you’ll feel more springy and less fatigued during long runs. This foam helps absorb impact, making your runs more comfortable and enjoyable.

The Original Footshape Fit design features a wider toe box that allows your toes to splay out naturally, unlike traditional running shoes that taper at the toe. This design enhances comfort and stability, especially during long runs, by reducing pressure on your toes and promoting a more natural foot position.

"Maximum cushion" refers to the level of padding and shock absorption in the shoe. The Altra Via Olympus 2 is designed for runners who log many miles and need extra comfort to absorb impact. If you’re looking for a shoe that provides superior cushioning for long-distance running, this shoe is an excellent choice.

A 0mm drop means that the heel and forefoot are at the same height, promoting a more natural running gait. This design encourages a midfoot strike, which can help reduce the risk of injury and improve overall running efficiency. If you’re transitioning from traditional shoes, a 0mm drop can help you develop a more natural running form.

Metatarsal-mapped rubber is specifically designed to align with the metatarsal bones in your foot, providing better traction and allowing for more natural foot movement. This design enhances your performance by improving grip on various surfaces and ensuring that your foot can move freely, which is essential for a smooth running experience.

Yes! The combination of Altra EGO MAX foam for cushioning, the Original Footshape Fit for comfort, and the metatarsal-mapped rubber for traction all work together to reduce foot fatigue. These features allow for a more comfortable and supportive running experience, making it easier to tackle longer distances without discomfort.
