Why We Like The Altra Via Olympus 2 Running Shoe
For padded double-digit miles, we lace into the Altra Via Olympus 2 Running Shoe. The platform's max stack of featherweight foam delivers lasting shock absorption and puts a little extra spring in our toe off, while its rockered geometry rolls us into effortless transitions.

Love this shoe!
Great shoe. More toe room than my last brand. Highly recommend!

Not as wide as I would like
I love the height of the toe box and the upper material, but, I would like it if someone at Altra could explain how they determine the toe box size. These "originals" are narrower than my "standard" Torin 7s.

Perfect for helping my plantar fasciitis heal.
I've spent the summer trying everything to alleviate my sudden plantar fasciitis from orthotics to Hokas and several other brands recommended by lots of sympathetic folks. I do have weird feet. High arch and instep, wide toes somewhat narrow heel, and supinating gate. Until I got these Altra Egos, it felt like walking around with a thumbtack in my heel. Now finally relief! So grateful to the clerk at Tradehome that said - "just try these"! I thought the wide toe box was ugly- but my teen age grandkids LOVED them! The colors are great. Turns out that zero drop was exactly what I needed to heal my heel, while the extra cushioning helped me be able to start really moving again. I recommend them to everyone who's tried everything else and to everyone who doesn't want to have to try again and again to help the foot pain go away. ( wish they cost less- I'd have them in every color) Thanks again to that clerk with upside down name tag. And thanks Altra for understanding feet.

way too narrow
Really narrow In mid foot. They fit very different from other altras I've owned. I'm hoping this isn't a new standard because Altra shoes have always been best for my feet :(

Extremely comfortable and impact absorbing
I am not a fan of the look of the shoe on my foot whatsoever....but it is extremely comfortable for running and feels like it really absorbs shock well.

Wouldn't recommend if you have feet tenderness
I've had two surgeries in the last year on my feet. I LOVE my HOKAs and thought these would give me some alternative options. I paid $170 and was very disappointed. Not sure I'd try again.

Liner is falling apart
I bought these shoes last fall and have just put them into consistent use since May. I have put between 200-300 miles on them walking and the liners have holes in both heels. I had fusion surgery for a rigid hallux in March and these were just what I needed to accommodate my swollen foot as I resumed normal activities. The cushioning has also been appreciated as I bring my walking distances back up (20 - 30 miles/week). However, with the liner going to pieces in both shoes they will not last much longer. I'm quite disappointed.

Looking for recommendations
Two years ago I received total reconstruction surgery on my right foot and they recommended brand H, but by standing for a long time, working for more than eight hours, it reaches a point where I get tired and my foot starts to hurt. So I'm looking for recommendation and comfort. You recommend this type of tennis Shoes?

Beware if you have bad knees!
These did not work for me at all. I wore them 2-3 times, and they ended up really hurting my knees-- I had to switch shoes a week before a race I was training for.. bummed.
