A brand new shoe in Altra's low drop FWD range, the Altra FWD Via in Black/Orange is a max stack, premium cushioned shoe ready for long runs in comfort which debuts a luxurious new midsole foam. The Altra FWD Via introduces EGO FLO cushioning for the first time in the range, a supercritical foam that affords you a soft and smoothly cushioned feel. Add in a rocker shape geometry with that low 4mm drop and you get a buttery glide through the transition from impact to an efficient toe-off. It may have done away with the classic Altra zero drop, but it still retains the Original Footshape Fit that gives more room for your toes, allowing them to splay naturally and form balanced landings with a naturally powerful take off. The upper features an engineered spacer mesh to give a fantastic visual experience without sacrificing any breathability. Weight 273.6g, Stack height 37-33mm, Heel offset 4mm.
