Features

Max out your miles with the Altra FWD Via 2.

Built for runners who want serious cushioning without feeling weighed down, this shoe delivers lightweight performance with an efficient feel. The all-new Altra EGO P35 midsole, updated engineered mesh upper and redesigned plush tongue work together to give you the comfort you need for daily road miles or epic training runs — all while letting your feet move the way they're meant to.

Details:

  • Upper: The engineered mesh construction increases breathability to keep your feet comfortable mile after mile. The updated plush tongue delivers that soft feel from the moment you step in, and Altra's Original FootShape fit gives your toes plenty of room to move freely with extra space through the midfoot.
  • Midsole: The new Altra EGO P35 foam is designed to be light and efficient, giving you that cushioned response without the weight. Combined with the rocker shape geometry and 4 mm drop, you get a smooth, natural toe-off that propels you forward with each step while maintaining your natural stride.
  • Outsole: Durable rubber provides reliable traction for road running and walking.

Road running shoe

Brad A 2 months ago Verified Purchase

The Altra FWD Via 2 from Fleet Feet had been a great long distance trainer so far in Minnesota Spring running in March and April in 2026. I've ran about 100 miles so far with them and they have been comfortable. Ordering and delivery from Fleet Feet was easy and took about 5 days for delivery.

Comfortable

They are comfortable. The fit is very good. A little pricey. Wish you would open a store in New Hartford, New York. The nearest store is an hour drive ( Syracuse,NY)

Walking shoe.

Running shoe

Really comfy toe box with a flexible sole. Not as much cushion as Hoka Bondi, but still forgiving and supportive.

Great fitting!
