It’s that same high stack but with a softer midsole foam, so you can hit the road even harder. Comfort. Performance. We built it for both. So every step feels just right. Looking for a little more squish? Here’s your shoe. The new VIA Olympus 2 features a softer Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam, with the same generous stack height but light, luxurious (and squishier) cushion. A plush footbed for an improved underfoot feel. Step into that “ahh” feeling as you lace up and let it follow you with every step. Rocker shape geometry encourages an efficient toe-off and a refined molded heel collar ensures a comfortable, secure fit. With zero drop and our roomiest toe box with plenty of room for your toes to move freely, along with space through the midfoot, you can move naturally. It’s a shoe made to go big on comfort, so you can go big on miles.

Stella K. ★★★★★

I've put about 60 miles on these and the high stack still feels stable, not mushy, which is rare for this much cushioning. The softer foam really shows up on longer road runs where my legs used to feel beat up by mile 8.

Richard ★★★★★

The midsole foam is noticeably softer than my last pair, which makes those long miles feel way less jarring on my legs. I’ve put about 50 miles on them and the cushioning still hasn’t flattened out. It’s a solid balance of plush and responsive for daily training.

Ryan ★★★★★

I was a little worried the softer foam would feel too squishy, but the high stack still gives me that solid, plush ride on my long runs. My knees felt noticeably less beat up the next morning, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
