A soft, cushioned daily trainer for runners who want a natural foot position and toe splay without a full zero-drop transition. Its 4mm drop and roomy fit define it more than speed ever will.
Soft, cushioned underfoot with a rocker to smooth toe-off, and a 4mm drop that eases the transition for runners not ready for true zero-drop.
Runs on Altra's Standard FootShape with a roomy toe box and a more secure midfoot; some owners of the original found this version narrower through the forefoot. Standard width only.
Neutral runners who want a plush daily trainer with a wide toe box and low drop for easy miles and long runs.
You need a firm, responsive ride for fast workouts, a snug performance fit, or you preferred the roomier forefoot of the original Fwd Via.
