Altra FWD VIA Running Shoes

The Altra FWD Via fuses the brand’s Natural Running philosophy with a modest 4 mm heel drop, offering a balanced and dynamic ride for longer distances and demanding training sessions. It combines cushioning with responsiveness through a lightweight midsole and a breathable, secure upper. The shoe is designed to feel natural underfoot while providing ample support for extended runs, with a durable outsole that remains reliable on asphalt and light gravel. Weighing about 8.3 oz (235.3 g), its construction emphasizes a comfortable fit, moisture management, and roomier toe space to encourage natural toe splay. The design features a soft tongue and collar for secure, comfortable lockdown, while maintaining airflow and a snug, friction-minimized fit.
