Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Altra FWD Via2 - Great shoes
Yes , I recommend this product
I have been using Brooks Adrenaline / Glycerin for several years, having toe space issues. Moved to Altra FWD Via2 as per Taylor (REI) recommendation, and these shoes have given me great comfort and overall experience. Love having these shoes. Definitely recommend to a friend. Thanks to Altra and REI Staff.
