"Looking for high cushion and luxurious comfort?" – Anonymous
I saw this on our website yesterday and said to myself, 'YES'! I asked my best friend, Google, for origin assistance. The result: sofa cushions and bedding haha. So let's run with it (bad pun, intended duh), because aptly enough, that is the underfoot feel you experience from the new Altra FWD VIA. Like a king–sized bed frame (Altra’s signature FootShape – roomy toe box) with a cushioned mattress (new supercritical midsole foam, Altra EGO™ FLO) and soft sheets (engineered spacer mesh upper, designed for breathability and a sleek look).
It's challenging to find the proper balance between cushioned and responsive. Like a firm pillow, right? I mean what is that...and do I need one? Altra answers the question for me/us by packaging both properties into this luxurious sofa bed (experience). With max cushion, rocker shape geometry, and the low drop that we've come to love and appreciate from Altra, when you’re out for solo daily training mileage, or group running with the squad, your feet feel as if they're comfortably nestled on one of the most comfortable couches you've ever.....
A lot of us are at the beginning of 5K/10K plans, in the middle of half marathon (plans), and approaching peak mileage in our marathon training. You'll like the FWD VIA for your tempo and speed work, and those shorter race–paced runs on the calendar of your Fall Racing Season build.
