ALTRA Via Olympus Running Shoes

Why did you choose this product over others?:Needed a wide toe box and other running shoes had given blisters. Done a few weeks of running and no blisters.

A comfortable shoe with a wide toe box. First run I had a tight achilles there after all good and the shoe performed well.Time will tell if I do the mileage I would expect from this shoe.

very comfortable Comfort I recommend purchasing .

Ordered ladies size 7 in orange. Received man's size 7 in yellow. A pair of socks thrown in, presumably to compensate for not having the stock they said they had. Decided to keep the shoes as their quality is excellent.

Chaussures excellentes pour marcher ou courir sur l'asphalte ou en ville : cependant nécessitent un peu de temps pour s'adapter :-) !

Una pena que este mal los enlaces.Parece sólido y bien construido pero me han enviado una talla incorrecta aunque se pido 49 se envía 42.Tenía pinta de ser cómodo y bien construido

Ich habe bereits vier Paar Schuhe von Altra.Der Altra Via Olympus ist vom Zehenfach her der breiteste Schuh von Altra. Sehr bequem und viel Platz für meine breiten Füße Trotzdem habe ich einen sehr guten Stand darin. Die Sohle ist etwas steif hat aber einen guten Grip. Ich benutze den Schuh zum Nordic Walking und habe ihn eine Nummer größer genommen. Der Versand durch den Händler hat hervorragend und schnell funktioniert.

I have been recovering from plantar fasciitis and needed a shoe that was neutral, stable, zero drop, and cushioned. After reading lots of reviews and based upon my own experience with Altra shoes, I chose this Via Olympus for a great price on Amazon. I read lots of reviews claiming the shoe ran small, ran narrow or had a big arch support, and yet I still ordered my usual size 9 Medium width. I can attest that the shoe fits perfectly with thin or lightly cushioned socks. It's no more or less narrow than the several other pairs of Altra shoes I've had over the years. In fact, it might be a tad roomier. I can't understand the arch support claim, as there is actually very little arch support in these shoes or the inserts that come with them (I use a PowerStep orthotic in mine new Altra shoes, which provides me with just the right support for helping with the plantar fasciitis problem). These shoes have lots of stack height, yet the cushioning is firm while still being comfortable, and the shoe is stable. It claims to have a "rocker" design, encouraging good toe-off, and it does that, too, although it's not terribly noticeable. The shoes fit very comfortably for all-day wear. I loosen up the laces near the bottom a lot, then tie a half not around the tongue loop that the laces pass through. This isolates the forefoot of the shoe from getting tighter, so I can tighten the top of the shoe snugly (see attached photo). Lacing the shoe this way allows for free toe movement, while retaining overall stability. Great shoe!
