The new VIA Olympus 2,features a softer midsole foam,molded heel collar, and natural fit.
The newVIA Olympus 2 is a softer Altra EGO™ MAX midsole features foam and has been modified to provide softer cushioning while maintaining the same ample stack height.
In addition, like its predecessor, the rocker geometry promotes efficient foot rotation, and the softer heel collar provides for a comfortable, secure fit.
Among other things, this model features the OLYMPUS series' signatureThe spacious originalThe rocker shape provides propulsion and a more efficient toe-off.The VIA OLYMPUS is comfortable to run in, even over long distances.
Some people are concerned about the stability that comes with thick soles, but the VIA OLYMPUS, like the OLYMPUS trail model, is equipped with many features that create stability.
As can be seen from the appearance of the shoes, the overall structure of the shoes is wider as it gets closer to the ground, which increases the installation surface and brings a sense of stability. This increases the installation area on the ground and prevents wobble and instability caused by thicker cushioning.
In addition, the INNERFLEXTM midsole structure is optimized for bending the foot, and the lattice-like flex grooves in the midsole structure give the foot flexibility in addition to higher performance gains.
Sizing...
As with previous models, the same sizing as ALTRA's OLYMPUS and ESCALANTE RACER is fine.
If you choose the actual size + 1.3cm as a guide, it will be generally fine.
Our staff member with a narrow foot shape also chose the same size as usual.
The first time we put our feet in the shoes, they felt a little big because there is room at the toes, but the fit at the heel and instep was good, and we didn't feel any looseness once we tightened the laces.
