Altra
FWD Via 2
Altra's high-stack, low-drop cruiser with a very soft EGO P35 midsole and a gentle, flexible ride. A comfortable entry point for runners new to Altra who want plenty of cushioning.
What's new: Swaps EGO FLO for a much softer EGO P35 midsole and gets far grippier rubber, but weighs about 7% more and costs more than the first FWD Via.
