Altra FWD Via running shoes

Take it to the max on the road. With max cushion, rocker shape geometry, a low drop, and our roomiest toe box, the FWD VIA is ready to perform. This one is full of surprises. Like our brand-new supercritical midsole foam, Altra EGO™ FLO. Infused with nitrogen, it’s lightweight and responsive underfoot feel is designed to help you stay comfortable and cushioned. A low 4mm drop complements the shoe’s rocker shape geometry, designed to give the feeling of being propelled forward with each step while providing an efficient toe-off. It’s so smooth, you’ll wonder if it’s on cruise control. We built it with an engineered spacer mesh upper, designed for breathability and a sleek look.
