Altra FWD VIA Women's review: what runners say

Fit

Roomy toebox with FootShape Fit: toes have room to splay. Half-size up recommended for standard feet, as the shoe runs short over long distances.

Feel

EGO FLO midsole feels harder than expected for a supercritical compound: cushioning is present but the ride is flat, without perceptible energy return. Best utilized by runners over 175 lbs (80 kg).

Durability

Hard rubber outsole is virtually indestructible; estimated at over 1000 km. Upper holds up well to mileage and weather.

Best for

Daily trainer for slow paces, especially suited for heavier runners. Not suitable for speed sessions or recovery runs for lightweight athletes.

Weak points

Compound is too firm given the max-cushion positioning; lack of energy return consistently noted by all three sources. Laces tend to come loose without a double knot.
