UPDATE: I'm writing this review
UPDATE: I'm writing this review to follow up my original review. In that earlier review, I expressed my disappointment that one of my new FWD Via shoes had started to fall apart after less than 2 months moderate use (you'll find that review under my name).
However since then, I reached out to the team at Altra about the issue and they responded brilliantly. It's clear that they take the reputation of their shoes very seriously. They have successfully turned one dissatisfied customer into a very happy customer. I'll shop with Altra again.
