Review: Plenty of firm cushioning and still stable for walking and running - I have been recovering from plantar fasciitis and needed a shoe that was neutral, stable, zero drop, and cushioned. After reading lots of reviews and based upon my own experience with Altra shoes, I chose this Via Olympus for a great price on desertcart. I read lots of reviews claiming the shoe ran small, ran narrow or had a big arch support, and yet I still ordered my usual size 9 Medium width. I can attest that the shoe fits perfectly with thin or lightly cushioned socks. It's no more or less narrow than the several other pairs of Altra shoes I've had over the years. In fact, it might be a tad roomier. I can't understand the arch support claim, as there is actually very little arch support in these shoes or the inserts that come with them (I use a PowerStep orthotic in mine new Altra shoes, which provides me with just the right support for helping with the plantar fasciitis problem). These shoes have lots of stack height, yet the cushioning is firm while still being comfortable, and the shoe is stable. It claims to have a "rocker" design, encouraging good toe-off, and it does that, too, although it's not terribly noticeable. The shoes fit very comfortably for all-day wear. I loosen up the laces near the bottom a lot, then tie a half not around the tongue loop that the laces pass through. This isolates the forefoot of the shoe from getting tighter, so I can tighten the top of the shoe snugly (see attached photo). Lacing the shoe this way allows for free toe movement, while retaining overall stability. Great shoe!
Review: Impressed! ... and even Off Road - Here is a picture of my 1st pair with hundred's of miles on them (on and off road) and the new ones I just purchased. I read the reviews and nearly did not buy these because of the reviews,... but I tried them out (because of desertcart's Prime, ... easy return policy) and love them. I'm impressed. I had been running in Altra Escalantes and love them but my 61 year old body needed a bit more cushion on the road for 80 miles a month. I've tried higher cushion shoes before and felt they lacked stability going often off road. I did not want Hoka's any more,... I am always choosing now a wider toe box for better foot health. Once you wear Altra's you won't go back to Hoka's... for that reason. I just bought my wife a pair and she got rid of her Hoka Clifton's because she now felt they cramped her toes. These are a stable platform for a neutral foot shoe,... they have a rocker built in this model which I love for running,... and one amazing thing is these are fantastic for the on road runner who finds every off road trail and takes it. Although, I don't know about really sloppy conditions off road. If you are looking for high and spongy,... these are not your running shoe. What for what I was looking for in a wider toe box,... without a wider width shoe,... and a bit more cushion and rocker on road these are fantastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shoes for me ever
*by H***R on December 11, 2023*

I have tried so many running shoes it’s cost me a small fortune! I started wearing these almost a year ago and what a difference it made. I’m a waitress and also work another job on the side. I usually do 15k -20k steps a day. I was having shin splints and my feet would ache so bad I would soak them at night in cold water. I always order these before a wear out the current pair so I never run out. Expense yes but worth every penny! I figured it cost me about 5 dollars a shift. Not bad at all. LOVE THESE SHOES! Something else I worked with was the perfect fit. I have had broken toes and sprained ankles so many times and I have a high arch and instep, I have worn women’s wide and larger sizes all my life but finally I tried a men’s 9.5 and it works perfect for me!
