As part of the Altra's new FWD collection featuring a low 4mm heel drop, the FWD Via offers more cushion, smoother rocker shape geometry, and the roomiest toe box. 

Altra introduces a brand-new supercritical nitrogen-infused midsole foam, Altra EGO FLO, giving lightweight, firm and responsive underfoot feel. The 4mm heel-to-toe drop with the rocker shape geometry makes it a friendly option for those interested to try a Altra's shoe without going straight to a zero drop shoe. 

Altra Running has a reputation for both comfort and functionality, as it help mimic the natural running form of barefoot running, reducing stress on the back and knees and minimizing the risk of injury.
