Altra Men's FWD Via 2

The Men's FWD VIA 2 represents a refined evolution in responsive running footwear. Engineered with Altra's proprietary EGO™ P35 midsole technology, this shoe delivers a 19% increase in softness and 15% improvement in responsiveness compared to its predecessor, creating an optimal balance between cushioning and ground feel. The updated construction features an engineered mesh upper designed for enhanced breathability and a redesigned plush tongue that minimizes break-in friction. The 4mm drop combined with rocker geometry facilitates efficient toe-off mechanics and promotes a natural gait cycle. Built on Altra's Original FootShape™ platform, the FWD VIA 2 provides generous toe box accommodation and midfoot space, accommodating natural foot splay during the gait cycle. This design philosophy supports both daily training and extended distance running without compromise. Suitable for road running and walking applications, the FWD VIA 2 delivers consistent performance across varied training intensities and distances.
