How it ranks
The Altra VIA Olympus ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Value and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 1 other rated shoe in the VIA Olympus product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
Good, but not great cushion. They look super cushy but they're not. Wide, as always, from Altra. Soft heel cup, which I like. You can find these on sale/clearance for cheap. They run a half size smaller than normal Altras
