Summary
The Altra Via Olympus 2 is a running shoe designed for those seeking maximum comfort and cushioning, fitting well within Altra's lineup as a high-cushion road shoe option. This model is specifically designed for long distance road running and features Altra's signature FootShape toe box and Balanced Cushioning platform, which respectively allow the toes to spread naturally and position the heel and forefoot an equal distance from the ground to encourage low-impact landings. In Altra's lineup, the Via Olympus 2 stands out for its substantial cushioning, offering more protection and comfort on harder surfaces compared to other models such as the Altra Escalante which is more focused on responsiveness and a lightweight feel, and the Altra Lone Peak, tailored for trail running with less cushion but more rugged features for off-road stability. Overall, the Via Olympus 2 is ideal for runners who prioritize comfort over minimalism while training or during long-distance runs on paved surfaces.
