I have been a long time Altra devotee, and generally love their shoes. I have had a handful of Lone Peaks (shoes and boots), road shoes, and even a pair of casual shoes. All of which I have loved. I originally purchased a pair of Timp 4, however Altra has unfortunately strayed away from their original foot shape with that shoe. I returned those for the Olympus for longer runs that would be on paved road, gravel road/multi track, and single track.Original impression of the Olympus was that the shape was wonderful and fit my foot perfectly. The materials were generally well sourced, but the shoe laces were woefully short. For the huge amount of stack (30mm), the shoe was pretty unimpressive. Felt stiff and dead, with little spring for such an amount of cushioning. ... MoreI have been a long time Altra devotee, and generally love their shoes.

The Vibram tread was a nice shift on Altra’s part, and did well transitioning from surface to surface.The straw that broke the camels back with this shoe was that the tread came unglued middle of a very critical race for me. So much so, that I had to stop, and rip it off the shoe to continue. There was about 4 inches of tread flapping around between the shoe and the ground.I am hoping that Altra gets their act together on a few things, mostly to include QC and shifting back to their roots in actual foot shaped shoes.Would not recommend the Olympus for the time being, especially for the price.

I’ve been in various Altra shoes over the past 4 years (2 pairs of Lone Peaks & a pair of Mont Blancs) and the Olympus’ are certainly the most comfortable I’ve tried yet. I mainly use the shoe for light-duty hiking and around town walking and for that they work great but I would not use these as a dedicated trail running or hiking shoe. I’ve experienced less than ideal durability with Altra shoes and the Olympus’ are no stranger to that. A piece of the sole came unglued from the bottom of the shoe about 2 weeks into ownership, which was disappointing. Instead of returning them, I decided to re-glue with Gorilla glue and pressed on. Since then, I’ve had almost no issues with the shoe. They did just rip near the toe box but they’re seen some use over the past 4 months ... MoreI’ve been in various Altra shoes over the past 4 years (2 pairs of Lone Peaks & a pair of Mont Blancs) and the Olympus’ are certainly the most comfortable I’ve tried yet.

I’d like to see Altra improve the durability of their shoes in the near future. They fit my feet perfectly which is why they continue to get my business. However, 3 of my 4 Altra shoes have seen premature durability issues and for that I’m about at my wits end.Going forward, I’d like to find a different company that makes a durable, wide toe box hiking / trail running shoe. I’ve done some reading up on Topo Athletic but I’m not sold quite yet.

First note: (warning, not a complaint); These ran 1/2 size small for me. I wear the same size in pretty much any shoe, but I had to go up 1/2 size in these.That being said, they're great shoes. I love the "oversized" toe box and the width and padding works well for me. I'm not a runner, and I've spent too much time behind a steering wheel with bad food and too little exercise, but I decided to tackle the Bataan Memorial Marathon this Spring. I purchased the Alta Olympus based on a recommendation from an REI staff member and couldn't be happier. Even during the marathon, the only foot issues I encountered was changing socks around the halfway mark. The shoes held up as well as anything I could expect.Several hundred walking & rucking miles later I'm on my way back ... MoreFirst note: (warning, not a complaint); These ran 1/2 size small for me.

The fit, traction, and running performance are phenomenal, but I have never owned a shoe that fell apart more quickly. I wear these shoes around the house and for ~10 miles a week of trail running.In the first month: a lug fell off, the heel strap broke, much of the upper started to fray. Now, 4 months in: the outsole and midsole are heavily worn, and the upper looks ancient and is developing holes in multiple places. At month 3, a friend commented that I should replace my "beat-up old shoes"!At this rate, the shoes basically cost $1/mile - ridiculously bad value. I am now in the market for a new pair for when these fail outright, but I can't bring myself to buy another pair of Altras until the quality of materials and testing are improved.Frankly, this seems ... MoreThe fit, traction, and running performance are phenomenal, but I have never owned a shoe that fell apart more quickly.

I am now in the market for a new pair for when these fail outright, but I can't bring myself to buy another pair of Altras until the quality of materials and testing are improved.Frankly, this seems to be a widespread issue across the whole product line at the moment - my guess is that someone made the call to use weaker materials in construction to save $$$, or someone let testing/QC slip with new designs/materials/partners. Either should result in the responsible party losing their job or significant job responsibility, and with a replacement spearheading an epic push to improve durability and salvage the brand reputation before the next generation launches.
I purchased this shoe because I have wide feet, and very high arches/high instep that make straight sized shoes extremely uncomfortable to run in.These shoes fit like a glove, but are a bit ooose in the heel.They are somewhat stiff, which is a plus for me, but the sole is definitely not the most flexible out there. The vision is pretty perfect amount of bounce and support. I don’t feel like I am running in pillows like some other high stack shoes. I’ve o it owned them a short time, but they seem quite durable.I wish the laces were longer. They are also quite a bit heavier than I am used to. I have also noticed an area of rubbing on my socks where the corner of the upper meets the ankle.Overall, a great option for those who need wider toe box shoes.

I have tried multiple different brands of trail running shoes that I have used for running, hiking, and through hiking/camping and these are my new favorites.These immediately felt comfortable out of the box. They have such a soft foot-bed feel that when you walk you just feel happy! But here is the best part, somehow Altra has pulled off some sort of magic trick where the shoes feel super cushioned and firm and supportive at the same time!I was a little worried at first taking these trail running with the stack height of the soles. I thought that I would feel to "removed" from the trail and would not feel the trail and the terrain nuances. But to my surprise that was not the case. I felt very stable and confident on all trail surfaces that I encountered.The ... MoreI have tried multiple different brands of trail running shoes that I have used for running, hiking, and through hiking/camping and these are my new favorites.These immediately felt comfortable out of the box.

I felt very stable and confident on all trail surfaces that I encountered.The sole is grippy in all the right ways. At first I thought that it might not be with some of the foam sole sharing the space with the grippy Vibram sole, but it has so far been great.Some other reviews that I read had me a little nervous on the laces length possibly being too short. I did not find this to be the case. So either my lacing style is different or Altra has fixed this issue.So, would I recommend this shoe? Absolutely! My only hesitation in recommending this shoe to everyone would be the price. Is this shoe a premium shoe? Yes. Is it worth the price? Maybe.
Unfortunately, these shoes are not durable. All trail runners start to wear out after some amount of time, but these shoes started to fall apart almost immediately after using them. The largest issue for me was the tread underneath the toe. These glued on flaps started peeling off after about 20-30 miles of use. I tried super gluing them down twice, and eventually they started peeling off so bad during a 60 mile backpacking trip that I had to cut them off on the trail.In my opinion, taken with similar reviews with similar problems, these shoes simply are not worth the price you pay for them. Paying $170 for trail runners should come with a much longer use time. I think these shoes are poorly constructed, and would not recommend them for trail use. They just fall ... MoreUnfortunately, these shoes are not durable.

I reviewed this shoe when I first bought it roughly 5 months ago and was pleased to see a Vibram sole and more support compared to the Lone Peak 5 I have been wearing prior to this. I have enjoyed wearing the Olympus since then it has been supportive and comfortable. The issue I had with the lenght/flat toe box and my second toe hitting the front didn't end up being an issue.What has been a big problem is the durability of these shoes. There are now numerous holes all over the linking of the shoes and also most worryingly the Vibram grip is separating from the midsole. I had paid more for a premium shoe and would expect at least a year before this kind of wear and tear would start to appear. I am not running in these just walking casually pushing a pram around our ... MoreI reviewed this shoe when I first bought it roughly 5 months ago and was pleased to see a Vibram sole and more support compared to the Lone Peak 5 I have been wearing prior to this.

I had paid more for a premium shoe and would expect at least a year before this kind of wear and tear would start to appear. I am not running in these just walking casually pushing a pram around our local park etc so not putting high demands on them. It is disappointing enough to make me want to look at a different brand as my Lone Peak's soles wore down ridiculously quickly. It is a shame as I am mostly enjoying the zero drop/cushion experience and the extra room for the toes that this platform provides. However for the money I need something that will last longer than this. I hope you are listening Altra?!!!
I have been running (and hiking) in Altra trail runners now for several years, primarily Lone Peaks, but also Timp and Superior models. After a toe injury I decided to try the new Olympus 5s for their thicker sole and support, but I have been quite disappointed. I bought size 9.5 and 10s to try to see if fit was the issue but neither one worked for me, especially compared to my other Altras. For some background, I run 95%+ trail with lots of hills and, until recently, average mileage between 8-13+ miles or so. Now re-training, I'm at around 4-5 miles, still on trails.Here is my main problem: if the laces are comfortably tight then I have significant slippage, mainly in the heel, but if I tighten them more to mitigate the slipping then the shoes are quite painful. ... MoreI have been running (and hiking) in Altra trail runners now for several years, primarily Lone Peaks, but also Timp and Superior models.

For some background, I run 95%+ trail with lots of hills and, until recently, average mileage between 8-13+ miles or so. Now re-training, I'm at around 4-5 miles, still on trails.Here is my main problem: if the laces are comfortably tight then I have significant slippage, mainly in the heel, but if I tighten them more to mitigate the slipping then the shoes are quite painful. While the toe box space remains fine, the mid-foot becomes so uncomfortably tight that it causes lasting pain even after taking the shoes off. I thought they may need to break in so I've tried to give them a fair shake, but after less than 40 miles of running plus some hikes they should have been worn in enough by now if that was the problem. Strangely enough the 9.5s (which is my usual size in Lone Peak & Superior) slip more than the 10s did. The 10s were just too large with extra space in the front, however they still had the same mid-foot tightness problem. With both sizes I even tried different lacing methods to fix the issue. Not much changed. It just seems the mid-foot is too narrow and so far I've never need a "wide" size in any of my shoes.A related problem is the lace "bite." The upper part of the tongue has inadequate padding. You can really feel the pressure from the laces, especially if you use the "extra" lace holes (which I need to on these to try to lock in the heel as much as I can.) And of course tightening these down only makes the "bite" worse.I wish I could compare these to prior Olympus models (the 4 seems to be well-liked). I still have my Lone Peak 6s (size 9.5) with low miles and they fit great, especially compared to these.For some positives, I did find that the toe box still had ample room consistent with my other Altras and they did provide the extra support I was looking for. And at least there are a couple of decent colorways in the Olympus 5.(Side note: what is with the Altra colorways in all the new models? Who is deciding that these are the colors people want? Most of them are terrible.)Finally, I haven't really had them long enough to adequately test the durability issues that others mention but I can see how they wouldn't hold up for very long. Unfortunately Altra has always been know for their durability anyway. However my Lone Peak 5s lasted the longest of any of my Altras.
I wanted to step up a little stability and support for hikes. I wear Lone Peaks near daily and they are the go to versatility shoe for broad spectrum adventure land, sea, and no so much air anymore.Olympus has hit the nail on the head for stability and support without adding clunky and disconnected from the earth footwear.The new tongue design does not present any problems. The high heel and flexibility of the shoe make for a perfect lock in without having to over tighten.Rigid in the exact places it's needed to maintain life of the shoe and way ultra light material that maintains a comforting level of protection.I love Altra shoes!IMHO. Folks who's Altra don't fit proper are very much on them. Your feet will shape to what you put them in (and Altra knows ... MoreI wanted to step up a little stability and support for hikes.

Your feet will shape to what you put them in (and Altra knows this) so if you put them in other footwear or even different figment Altra shoes then your feet will not be shaped for Altras. It's all (mostly at least) or nothing with your feet. You either care or you don't (to do the research and survey shoes until you find your brand and fit).My feet fit perfectly to Altra shoes and I am grateful for it.Them Torin 5 tongues were so bad though.
