Awesome comfort! - These shoes are incredible! I was hesitant to buy them based on some negative reviews, but I’ve been walking and running in them a lot, and they’re incredibly comfortable. The cushioning is amazing, and they feel like you’re walking on air. They have a zero drop design, which means they’re very flexible and allow your toes to naturally sprawl out. I highly recommend them! They’re well-styled, so no one will notice their wide toe. I bought the navy blue pair. Review: Satisfied - Good. This replaced my Altra Torin 7. Via Olympus 2 stack height is obviously higher. Foam is stiff giving shoes stability. After a run when feet are hot, foam feels softer. Seems to bit slightly more roomy foot box than Torin 7, which feels slightly more comfortable, since I prefer more breathing room. Feels less stuffy since I mostly run in hot humid climate. Overall, comfy, and am satisfied with this colour combination of black and yellow. ## Features - Rubber sole ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CPN1JHJ8 | | ASIN | B0CQS46J9G | | Best Sellers Rank | #289,147 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #604 in Men's Road Running Shoes | | Brand | ALTRA | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Black/Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (253) | | Date First Available | May 8, 2023 | | Department | mens | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Item model number | AL0A85NA440 | | Manufacturer | Altra | | Manufacturer | Altra | | Material Fabric | Rubber, Textile | | Model Name | Men's Via Olympus 2 | | Outer Material | Engineered mesh | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 9 x 5 inches; 3 Pounds | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sport Type | Running | | Strap Type | lace_up | | Style Name | Via Olympus 2 | | Style Number | AL0A85NB-2224 | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 197065411626 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Mens Via Olympus 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RHC6XLA-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these!!!

I have been on a journey from one running shoe to another trying to find the next best one. I started with some entry level Ascis I found at DSW that I thought were just amazing. When I went to buy a 3rd pair they were out so I shopped around, and found some Brooks Ghosts that were two times as expensive. I thought no way they are twice as good to justify the price. I was wrong. I bought them immediately, and my mind was now open to finding something better the next time I was in the market. When that time came around my mom had just bought some Hoka's and my dad had just bought some Altra's. I was convinced I wanted a max cushion shoe so I tried the new Brooks Ghost Max at the time and they were amazing. Because my dad bought an Altra shoe I tried one on, but it had very low cushioning and it was not a good fit for my foot. And because my mom had bought a Hoka, I tried a Bondi, which I didn't like, and a Clifton which I loved. Even though I wanted to like the Ghost Max's more, I had to be objective and choose the shoe that felt better and that was the Hoka Clifton. After wearing the Clifton's for over a year I noticed my toes were feeling crowded. I was getting some rubbing issues and ingrown nails, which had never happened to me before. I decided to do some research to try to find a max cushion, wide toe box with the benefits of low to zero drop. This was literally the only option. I decided to take a chance and order them from amazon without having any shop nearby to try them on. These are the best shoes I have put on my feet. These shoes deliver the benefits I was looking for, and the support is amazing. The cushioning is quite soft. My toes instantly felt the difference and I have not had the same issues since. What does bother me is what I have been reading on reddit. Apparently, the Altra FWD Via is supposed to be the replacement for this shoe and the Via Olympus line is being discontinued. The problem with that is the FWD Via shoe is not a zero drop. From what I have read, the majority of people who have switched over from this shoe are extremely disappointed in the cushioning and the much smaller toe box. I think it is a huge mistake for Altra to discontinue a shoe that is completely unique in the market place, only to replace it with something that is more like everything else and has been consistently reviewed as a worse shoe. In short, buy this shoe while you can! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/736741039-mens-via-olympus-2](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/736741039-mens-via-olympus-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
