Altra | Men’s Via Olympus 2 Road Running Shoes – Blue

Advice for Road Runners: The Altra Men’s Olympus 2 Running Shoes offer lots of protection. They’ll suit runners who are seeking a plush underfoot experience. 

Underfoot Feel

Altra EGO™ MAX cushioning delivers a soft and energetic feel. It’s likely to feel at its best on slower paced runs.

Thanks to the rocker shaped geometry, you should enjoy smooth transitions from landing to take-off. This curved heel-to-toe shape should also improve forward momentum. 

Even though the Altra Olympus 2 Running Shoes are highly-cushioned, there’s no difference in height between the heel and forefoot. 

Upper Fit

The Altra Via Olympus 2 Running Shoes’ upper features Altra’s Original Footshape™ Fit. While all Altra Running Shoes offer a spacious toe box design, the Original fit offers the most space. This should allow plenty of room for your toes to splay.

Ideal Run Type

We recommend using the Altra Men’s Olympus 2 Running Shoes for your slower-paced miles. This is because the cushioning should offer a lot of comfort and support for that intensity level.

It’s worth mentioning the midsole is likely to feel very stable, which is something a lot of runners are seeking on their lower-effort days.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
