ALTRA Men's Via Olympus 2 Road Running Shoe

These shoes are a game changer for me! I walk an average of 12,000+ steps per day at work on concrete floors and since putting these on the balls of my feet and toes have completely quit hurting. Even thick but firm cushioning throughout. Will have to follow up on longevity after many more months of use.

Plumber/Husband wears these ALL day. Perfect support and excellent toe room. These are the BEST ALTRAS. Don't even bother with other styles of ALTRAS. They are shaped for the human foot when pressing down, so when the feet impact, the toe area has room for that spread instead of squishing big toe or little toe all day. Put in Dr S "RUN" insoles, and you will be set for any activity for hours and hours.

Absolutely love this shoe. No need to break in, fit perfectly right out of the box. I'd used another brand for 40 years, but their toe box was NOT wide enough and caused blisters even in the "wide" style. This one does not, amazingly comfortable, just exactly what I needed. It is a bit pricey but well worth the investment to me.

No son tan suaves

As a person who spends 8 hours per day working on his feet, I'm always on the lookout for the perfect pair of comfortable shoes, and the Altra Via Olympus 2 men's running shoe exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference. The cushioning is incredible, providing supreme support and stability. The wide toe box is a game-changer, allowing my toes to splay naturally and preventing any discomfort or blisters. The girp is fantastic. Plus, they're surprisingly lightweight for a shoe with so much cushioning. I've never experienced such comfort in a shoe before. These shoes are a game-changer, and I can't recommend them enough to runners or people like me who work on their feet and are looking for top-notch performance and comfort! NOTE: The shoe is marketed as being black in color. They are more of a medium to dark charcoal and not a true “black”. See my photos of the show next to true black items for comparison and reference. This was my only issue with the shoe, thus the 4 stars. If this isn’t an issue, do yourself a favor and buy a pair!

super confortable, good support and super wide toe room

Comfortable and cute. These are mens but they still look good on me (woman ;) ) I stand and walk on them all day (10 hours) and they feel great. Ive been wearing them now for over a week, im going to buy another pair despite the price. Also I recommend sizing up a half size. For example im a true size 10.5 women but I definitely needed an 11...the conversion for these shoes is 2 sizes down... so 10.5 would have been a size 8.5 and I sized up to mens size 9 and theyre great. Lightweight, comfortable, and good quality.

Immediately upon trying them on, I was taken aback by their comfort, and found them very supportive on all sides. Although the toe box looked large, my forefoot and toes were well supported, when walking and running. My ankles were also supported but not constricted. As mentioned in other reviews, the “black” is more of a dark grey…I would recommend them, definitely.
