ALTRA Men's Via Olympus Sneaker

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.

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 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.

The Altra VIA Olympus men's running shoe offers max cushion for comfort, Original FootShape Fit for natural movement, and rocker shape for propulsion. 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. Our rocker shape geometry is designed to give the feeling of being propelled forward with each step and provides an efficient toe-off without taking away from your natural stride.

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. The Altra VIA Olympus, Paradigm 7, Rivera 3, Torin 7, and Escalante 3 are all built with our innovative features, including rubber soles, lace-up closures, and varying levels of cushioning and stack height.
