The Altra Olympus 6 continues its proud legacy as a shoe that delivers ultimate underfoot protection and comfort on long trail runs. It features Altra's most spacious Original FootShape fit and the thickest midsole stack in their lineup.
The midsole is composed of a reliable CMEVA foam with a 0mm offset, providing predictable cushioning for confidence, step after countless step. The accommodating engineered mesh upper boasts improved breathability and sports a more robust toe cap and generous overlays for durability and structure.
Not limited to utilitarian updates, the step-in comfort is elevated with a refined tongue and a premium Achilles pillow. Last and certainly not least, the trustworthy Vibram Megagrip outsole compound sets the standard for grip on a variety of trail surfaces. With slightly modified lug shapes and placement, the outsole yields improved durability and sure-footed confidence.
As a gold-standard for just how inherently stable a max cushioned trail shoe can be, the Altra Olympus 6 will help you make good on their motto to "stay out there" day and night for an ultra-long time.
