Why We Like The Altra Via Olympus Running Shoe

The Via Olympus Running Shoe brings optimal comfort to our daily miles. Built with Altra's Original Footshape Fit, this pair features a spacious toebox, giving our toes ample room to splay naturally. No matter how many miles we cover, the max cush underfoot keeps every strike plush, while the platform's rocker geometry rolls us into effortless transitions.

I will purchase again, finally a zero blister shoe

Finally a blister free running shoe. I recently bought a pair of lone peaks for hiking and fell in love. So when I decided to start walking again I looked into Altras. I loved them. Then I decided to start running. These via olympus are absolutely perfect for me. So happy. Not thrilled with the colors but at my age I am more interested in fit than looks. One other small note, the pair I received had a small smudge on the fabric. I'm sure I could have swapped them, but shoes get dirty anyway and so it wasn't worth the effort. That being said, I will buy another pair when these wear out.

Do not buy, waste of money

They have no cushion and they are supposed to be the most cushioned shoe. I have the 2 version and its much more cushioned.

I would recommend this product to a friend

I've always had trouble with my 2nd toe bending even thought I buy size 9 1/2 as most shoes aren't wide enough to help with wide feet. I am very happy with the purchase. Only thing is it has a bit of a height.

500+ miles

I wore these to train for a marathon. After running about 550 miles in them, I didn't even realize I needed new shoes! They kept their cushion so well that I was in denial that I needed a new pair. These are great if you have wider feet as well.

Don't buy this

Disappointing Experience with Running Shoes I recently purchased the running shoes, hoping they would be a reliable addition to my running gear. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. After running just 5 miles, I developed huge blisters on my feet. The shoes felt comfortable initially, but it became clear that they lack the necessary support and cushioning for longer runs. The material seems to cause excessive friction, which led to the painful blisters. While the design and aesthetics of the shoes are appealing, the performance and comfort are severely lacking. I would not recommend these shoes for anyone looking to run longer distances. It's disappointing to invest in a product that doesn't meet basic comfort standards.

I love this shoe!!

I love this Altra shoe. I bought the same style again so I could use one to work in my yard. I'm 73 yrs and have terrible feet problems and I have finally found shoes that I can wear all day. I would love other colors.

Needs Improvement

Middle toes go numb because it's too tight across base of toes. Along with a wide toebox, there also needs to be extra height as well.

Tried and not for me

The heel cup pushes in prior to the arch. Definitely not for my whole foot wideness. Finished some shorter runs without issues. Ran a 10K and ended up with numbness in forefoot and a blister on my heel near my arch.

So very bad

I can't describe what's is wrong with the shoe. I run two miles and my toes so numb. Not too big or small. Maybe the outer sole? These shoes hurt. Wear my escalates and it's fine. So sad. Wasted money.
