ALTRA Women's Via Olympus

The Altra VIA Olympus men's running shoe offers max cushion for comfort, Original FootShape Fit for natural movement, and rocker shape for propulsion. Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes, taking them 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 their forefront, the founders created their first shoe with the help of a toaster oven, marking the start of their signature shoe construction to help runners move naturally.

Altra's Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, encouraging better alignment, better form, and a low-impact landing. The rocker shape geometry is designed to give the feeling of being propelled forward with each step, providing an efficient toe-off without taking away from the runner's natural stride. Altra's signature FootShape comfort gives the feet more space to sit naturally, addressing biological differences in men's and women's feet.

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Their purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding one's potential. Altra's wide-lacing system inspired their signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement, and their founders' innovative, disruptive thinking with the help of a household toaster oven has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential.

The VIA Olympus, Paradigm 7, Rivera 3, Torin 7, and Escalante 3 are some of Altra's running shoe models. These shoes feature a range of cushioning levels, from max cushion to moderate, as well as varying stack heights and rocker geometries to suit different running preferences and needs. The shoes have rubber soles and FootPod outsoles, with weights ranging from 7.7 to 8.9 ounces.

In summary, Altra Running's innovative approach to running shoes, centered around their Balanced Cushioning, rocker shape geometry, and signature FootShape design, aims to unleash human potential and inspire natural movement. Their diverse range of running shoe models caters to the varying needs and preferences of runners, all while staying true to their purpose and innovative spirit.
