ALTRA Women's FWD Via Rocker Road‑Running Shoes - Black

Altra Women’s FWD VIA in black is a max‑cushion, neutral road‑running shoe with a rocker shape and low 4 mm drop, designed to feel soft, smooth, and effortlessly propulsive. It uses Altra’s roomiest Original FootShape fit and a new nitrogen‑infused EGO FLO midsole to deliver lightweight comfort for long runs and walking.

Full product description

The FWD VIA is built to “take it to the max” on the road, pairing high stack cushioning with a forward‑rocker geometry that helps roll you smoothly through each stride. A low 4 mm heel‑to‑toe drop complements the rocker to provide an efficient toe‑off while maintaining a natural feel, and the wide, high‑volume FootShape toe box gives ample room for toe splay and all‑day comfort. Durable rubber segments on the outsole add traction and stability, making this shoe ideal for daily training, recovery runs, and comfortable walking.
