The shoe is inspired by its trail namesake. The Olympus 4 was one of my go-to off-road shoes. It had a lightweight, responsive ride despite its burly exterior. To make a road iteration of the Olympus, the development team avoided simply slapping on a lug-less outsole. It took three different compounds and three different types of geometry to get the formula right.
The Paradigm, however, has a flatter, more linear profile to the ground, as well as Altra’s standard last. In contrast, the Via’s sole is curved to promote a rocker motion, and its foot shape is wider and more accommodating. The molded heel collar and pillowy tongue amplify the comfort factor.
