Altra FWD Via 2 Road Running Shoes
The Altra FWD Via 2 is a max-cushioned daily road trainer with a more propulsive ride. Altra designed it for daily mileage, recovery runs and long runs. It delivers comfort and protection while helping you maintain a steady pace.
Altra EGO™ P35: softer, more responsive underfoot feel
The midsole uses Altra EGO™ P35 for a lightweight, efficient feel. Altra states that it is 19% softer and 15% more responsive than the midsole of the original FWD VIA. This provides improved cushioning and more immediate energy return.
In practice, P35 helps you run with less fatigue. It also maintains a smooth transition as the miles build up. At the same time, it delivers a more responsive toe-off at a steady pace. This makes the shoe ideal for runners who want comfort while also looking for a responsive feel.
- 19% softer feel for greater comfort
- 15% more responsive for improved energy return
- Lightweight, efficient transitions for daily runs and long runs
Engineered mesh upper & plush tongue: breathable and more comfortable from the first step
The engineered mesh improves ventilation. This helps keep the foot cooler during road running. In addition, the updated plush tongue provides a softer step-in feel. It also reduces pressure across the instep, especially when tightening the laces.
4 mm drop & Rocker Shape Geometry for a smooth toe-off
The 4 mm drop supports a natural forward transition. In addition, the rocker shape geometry creates a smoother ride. This supports you over continuous miles and at a steady pace.
FootShape™ Original Fit: comfort at the forefoot, control at the midfoot
The FootShape™ Original Fit provides Altra’s roomiest toe box. This allows the toes to spread more naturally and helps you feel better balanced. There is also room through the midfoot for comfort on long runs.
Rubber outsole for reliable grip
The rubber outsole provides confidence on tarmac. It also withstands frequent use. This makes the FWD Via 2 an effective road training shoe.
