These shoes changed my life!!
I've tried finding comfortable shoes for years with no success other than Birkenstocks, and a friend of mind suggested zero drop shoes. I found that Altra has those shoes so I bought a pair and will never wear anything else in the future!! Wide toe box so your toes move. Its helped my feet and back tremendously!!

Running on a cloud on long runs
Having run in the torin 7, I needed a little more cushion for long runs. As a heavier person,these fit the bill while continuing to let my toes splay while running.

Love these! Continue to love all the Altra options
Being a heavier runner, the extra cushion is necessary for the road miles leading up to an ultra. Love these for my long road runs throughout the week.

I would buy this shoe again and again!
This shoe is the most comfortable shoe ever. I have tried several models but this one beats them all. I have two arthritic knees and because of the rocker sole I can walk faster with reduced pain! Thank you Altra!!!!!!!!!

Max Cushion Done Right
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who tried the Via 1 and was left wanting a softer underfoot feel, the Via 2 delivers exactly what I was hoping for. It has the same spacious fit as the original, just with a noticeably plusher midsole and insert. These are my go-to for long runs & easy recovery miles, and I don't see that changing any time soon!

Outstanding fit and comfort - including the toe box!!
The fit and extraordinary cushioning are phenomenal! I have tried so many other brands, and often need either a 12.5 or 13 in a 4E Wide (for room for my toes). Altra's natural foot design (or what I believe they are now calling the "original" foot design in THIS model) is perfect - allowing for plenty of room for your toes to splay naturally and comfortably. Love this model and have already bought several pair - hopefully, whenever Altra changes this model in the future, as most manufactures seem to do, they won't really change anything about this perfect model!

Highly recommended
I am new to the running arena so I wanted to make sure that I started out with the right running shoe. I strongly feel I made the right choice going with this particular shoe!

Great recovery run shoe
Great, natural feel with these rockers. Plush ride is perfect for recovery runs or long, easy/moderate efforts. Wide toe box keeps my feet happy. Just perfect for what I'm looking for - 10 milers where I don't feel beat up afterward.

Great comfort, sole wears out in under 14 miles
Great comfort, had to send back due to 1 tread in 14 miles almost worn thru.

I love this shoe
I'm 64 with two painful knees. These shoes have tremendously decreased my pain due to the rocker bottom soles. This concept takes stress off of the knees for a smoother and easier gait! I'm ordering a second pair!
