Altra Men's VIA Olympus for Men
Altra Men's VIA Olympus features a thick, cushioned midsole made of EVA foam that helps absorb shock and provide comfort for the feet during long runs. This helps to reduce the stress placed on the feet and legs, which can lead to fatigue and injury.

Additionally, the shoe has a zero-drop platform, which means that the heel and forefoot are at the same height. This helps to promote a more natural foot strike and encourages a midfoot or forefoot landing, which can help reduce impact on the feet and legs.
The VIA Olympus also has a breathable mesh upper that helps keep the feet cool and dry during intense workouts. This helps to prevent discomfort and irritation during runs and helps keep the feet feeling fresh.

Altra VIA Olympus Reviews from Experts
Most of the Altra VIA Olympus reviews were about the midsole that offers great foot stability with a feeling of a homogeneous pillow of deep and dense cushion” while experiencing a great balance between soft and firm midsole.
The midsole is powered by Altra Ego Max which is an EVA-based compression-moulded foam, which is the same tech used in the Altra Timp 4 and Altra Paradigm 6. This is one of the reasons these shoes got so popular. The Altra Paradigm 6 is a very stable shoe - which is designed with a more parallel and linear geometric shoe profile and it is also stacked with Altra’s standard last.
However, the Altra VIA Olympus focuses on rocker motion because the sole is more curved, unlike Paradigm 6. Its foot shape is quite accommodating because it is a bit wider which that promotes more space, allowing your foot to have enough room to relax and empower natural foot movements. VIA Olympus has a greater comfort factor due to its moulded heel collar and pillowy tongue.
The Altra VIA Olympus outsole also comes with less ground-contact rubber compared to the Paradigm 6. To make the shoes more lightweight, the Altra design team have reduced some extra material in lower areas on the outsole.
