ALTRAMen's Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoe

Have been wearing Altra shoes about a year and a half. Walk/hike in a canyon 10 miles a day with 2,000 plus feet of total elevation gain. These shoes are great and I don’t need an expensive insole like I did with the Lone Peak 6. The wide toe box is good no need for an extra wide shoe to make toes comfortable like when wearing Asics. There is a lot of cushion in the sole for long hikes and the soles last longer for my hiking and daily wear. Shoe strings can be a bit too short if all holes are used- try litlaces or other comparable slightly longer and more flexible laces. If soles peel after lots of wear use thin loctite superglue as recommended by fleet feet salesperson (he said it happens with all brands)Normally wear size 13 and 13 fits me well in this shoe.

These are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Great cushioning and the right size toe box. The only negativity is that the shoe strings should be a couple inches longer.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned........This is my second pair. My first pair was a Olympus 4 and I wore them over a year and I wore them almost everyday. I'm not talking about going to work and sitting at a desk.....I mean being very active.... I have low arches and these have great...spongy padding in the arches and the ball of the foot. Very comfortable......They are a bit pricey but they are worth it in my opinion....

It's been a couple of years since I started wearing Altra Olympus for adventure racing and trail running. I've had the 3, 4 and now this version #5. I have already tried them on 2 small short runs and they are comfortable as usual. They seem a bit "harder" and less flexible than older versions, however, I'll have to wait to see how the soften up after some good and long trail runs.

I just completed my through hike of the AT and while I didn't wear Altras, I did notice they were one of the most popular brands. I purchased this pair when I got home and just finished a five mile hike. Compared to my HOKA Speed Goat Fives, the Altras have a nice toe box. Cushion was good but size wise my pair were a bit small. I normally wear 10.5 but on my walk my toes were pushed hard against the toe box front. I should have gone with a half or full size larger. Not a big fan of the lace material either - seems cheap and brittle. Overall, were I to purchase more Altras, I would go a full size bigger.

I received these shoes in February. I've put maybe 100 miles on them walking the dog since then. Great cushion and wide toe box. Been loving this shoe and telling friends to check them out, until the soles started falling apart. Are you kidding me. $200 hiking shoe I was going to use in Utah this September!!! Filed a warranty with Altra. We will see what they say and I will update...By the way, I have a pair of Soloman that are 4 years old that have 100's of miles on them and they just started showing wear. I should have stuck with that brand, but I wanted something will more cushion for long, rocky hikes out west.****UPDATE-Altra won't honor their warranty because I bough them on Amazon through an unauthorized dealer. Sounds like a good way for Altra to get rid of faulty shoes. sell them at a discount to an unauthorized dealer at least they they recoup some money. What a shame.

Love the wide toe box for trail running. Very durable and grippy sole.

Costly but a great shoe for distance walking.

I’ve only had the show a couple of weeks but so far they are amazing. Fit great and for a guy with wide feet it’s hard to find a good shoe that fits well. I just hope they last.

Love this particular pair of ALTRA's.Using mainly for late winter walking. I even wear orthotics with these and they work very well for me.I have been wearing them for 2 weeks now, no complaints. DEFINITELY an outside shoe. Bottom of shoe not recommended for the GYM Environment. There are other shoes you can purchase from ALTRA for the GYM. BTW, I am in Canada. ALTRA is a USA Product. You will either have to purchase on AMAZON or some outfitting places wherever they are located. ALTRA USA does NOT deliver to CANADA "yet".

I've previously worn Altra Lone Peak and Superior 5. These trainers (Olympus 5) are better constructed than the early version of the Lone Peak, and have better features (for me) than the Superior, such as the Vibram outsole which provides WAY more traction in wet conditions, and the first heel loop on a trainer which is actually big enough and strong enough for me to use it to help get the shoe on. I've only had them a week or so, but so far I love them.

Zero drop, so need to condition for them, and great wide toe box. Unfortunately slight heel lift, so need to heel lock the lacing

Altra, por mi tipo de pie, es una marca que cumple al 💯 mis expectativas. Muy contento con la compra.
