If you’re looking for a highly cushioned daily trainer built for comfort, the Altra FWD VIA 2 might be exactly what you need. In this review, I share how it performs on long runs, recovery days, and steady mileage, plus where it fits compared to the Experience Flow 2. You’ll get the full breakdown of specs, fit, and performance—covering the new EGO P35 foam midsole, outsole durability, upper design, and whether the $165 price tag is worth it. I also go over what I liked, what could be improved, and who I think this shoe is best for.
