Perfect Traditional Toe Box Altra!
I've been wearing Lone Peak hikers (both low and mid-top) but needed some runners/walkers with that same awesome wide toe box. Found an insightful YouTube review of the Altra line that covered toe box sizes from narrow to wide. These VIA Olympus were exactly what I needed! If you're after extra cushioning and that classic Altra toe box, give these a go. Highly recommend! *****

Do not buy, waste of money
They have no cushion and they are supposed to be the most cushioned shoe. I have the 2 version and its much more cushioned.

Wonderful athletic shoe
I love this brand of shoe. My podiatrist recommended these shoes because they have a wider toe box. They are so comfortable. I would definitely purchase them again.

Best running shoes ever
Super cushioned. Prefer over holes, which have been my gold standard.

I will purchase again, finally a zero blister shoe
Finally a blister free running shoe. I recently bought a pair of lone peaks for hiking and fell in love. So when I decided to start walking again I looked into Altras. I loved them. Then I decided to start running. These via olympus are absolutely perfect for me. So happy. Not thrilled with the colors but at my age I am more interested in fit than looks. One other small note, the pair I received had a small smudge on the fabric. I'm sure I could have swapped them, but shoes get dirty anyway and so it wasn't worth the effort. That being said, I will buy another pair when these wear out.

surprised they arrived so fast!
these feel much better than my worn out pair of altras - I probably should have bought a new pair sooner!

Runs small
I usually wear a size 7.5, but I ordered a 8. However, it is too short. Along with a wide toe box, my middle toes hurt. Returned.
