Customer Reviews Altra Via Olympus 2

I'm mostly a power walker with bad knees now. I love the cushion, wide toe box and feel. Please give us a neutral color option again.

At 81, I'm an avid walker and exerciser. I've had many foot problems, from a shattered heel & ankle in a 1979 car crash to old-feet hammertoes. I'll only buy Altra these days because of the roomy toe box. I've bought many Altra styles over the years, and the Olympus 2 is absolutely the best for my feet. I like the cushion, the wide toe box, and the all-around comfort. These diverse reviews show no model is best for everyone, but this one is best for me. I wish you had more colorful colors, though!

I have struggled with foot pain for a couple years. This is the BEST shoe that I have tried and I have tried a lot. PLEASE do not discontinue this shoe!! I tried the fwd via and it didn't work for me.

I have arthritis in my big toe joints and I can actually run more than 3 miles in these shoes without pain! I used to wear Hoka Bondi as recommended by my podiatrist, but my toes still hurt.I tried these Olympus 2 road shoes and I love them!

I have wide feet and normally have a hard time finding shoes that actually fit in the toe box and these were amazing! Also gave great support throught the whole foot making walking and jogging comfortable.

Great shoe. Super cushion and roomy toe box with zero drop and a good propel forward. So hope they restock this soon!

I always bought hokas but they didn't have my size. I saw these Altras and decided to try on. They were really comfortable and I liked the look better than hokas. They looked a little dressier than hokas. I wore the altras through Australia, Spain, London, and Greece. They were great shoes. I left them in Greece because they were worn out and I needed the room in my suitcase. I was kind sad to leave them. I have replaced them with a new pair.

Please do not discontinue!!!!! This is far better than the FWD. I will buy all u have in size 10

I do not run. I am a senior with back and hip Issues. Altra shoes give me the support and comfort I need when walking. I will continue to buy them again and again.

I walk 4-5 miles a day with this amazing shoe. I'm disappointed to hear it's been discontinued and was replaced by a sub-par shoe. I tried the FWD via and they are NOT as nice as these shoes. I'm stocking up on them!! Sorry to whoever else wears a 9.5!!! Please don't discontinue this shoe!!!

One of the best Altras shoes I've ever worn. No need to break them in. My wide width feet are so comfortable in these, that they became my everyday shoes. Love them!

I threw out my old Torins and decided to go with max cushion. I LOVE the squish and the rocker bottom! They are soooo comfortable! I love them so much that I bought a second pair. These are my running buddies from now on.

I walk 6 miles a day in these amazing sneakers! The cushion is outstanding and I feel light on my feet.

Only sneaker i will wear - neuromas and issues with my back as well - these are the best. I also ave a wide foot so hard to find a shoe with a wide toe box and the proper cushion and support

This is the ONLY SHOE that I can wear comfortably. Good volume in the toebox, plenty of space for the toes to spread, nice cushion, zero drop. They fixed the irritating sewed area over the toes from the 1. Please do not discontinue Via Olympus, Altra!

I purchased a 9 1/2 knowing it would be a little loose in the heel, but plenty of room in the tow box for bunions and mushed toes! I use a racer's lace up to keep it secure. This newer version of the Olympic is cushier than the last, and very comfortable. Great for pavement walking every day.

I'm a teacher and these shoes took away my constant knee and back pain. I literally cried when I wore them the first day-- tears of joy. I'm so grateful for these.

I love both Via Olympus and Via Olympus 2! They are most comfortable cute shoes. I used them for walking and light jogging at parks. I love that these shoes have wide toe box, great support and nice stack height. I cannot wear high heels and these shoes give extra height. Please keep making wide toe box shoes! My size 7 was out of stock in white. So I had to wait for a long time to get them. Please make more of size 7.

These are my work shoes...12 hours on concrete floors. I Was a diehard Hoka Bondi fan until my Hokas seemed to "change". So I thought I'd give these a try. Best decision I've ever made. Cushioning is great and supportive, lighter than my hokas and No toe pinch! My go to shoes from now on. Please make a court shoe for us pickleballers!

So glad to have an 11.5!! I usually buy the guys' size 9.5, so I'm thankful to enjoy a feminine color and shoe!!

I have tendonitis in my feet and knee issues as well. I used to wear Hokas but they didn't completely solve my foot and knee problems. This Altra style works great for me. They are very cushioned but stable at the same time. I don't get fatigued when I wear these shoes. I hope you keep this style without much change.

I wear my Via Olympus 2 a lot! After almost a year in agony with metatarsal issues, these shoes have allowed me to be active again!! I literally wore put my insoles in 10 months! They are the best shoes I have ever worn. Excellent support and cushioning. My only complaint is I would love to see some darker colors, since I have to wear these almost exclusively. I have the black for yardwork, but a darker blue would be great!

I am a lumber cashier that walks, bends and stands for 8 hours per day. I haven't had such comfort from trying numerous other brands. It's a splurge but I am serious about my feet!

I ordered up 1/2 a size. It's perfect.
