ALTRA Olympus 5 Men's Trail Running Shoes, Blue

I got these for a three month trip to Japan. I shattered my knee in a road accident and I have a lot of metal and screws holding it together now. I usually get knee pain when walking but these allowed me to walk 20,000-40,000 steps a day on all manner of terrain in Japan with no issues. with knee and zero foot blisters. They're not the best looking trainers but I would happily buy again, or another version that's more stealthy in the look. Unfortunately the the soles have worn out and there are holes in the inner material after about 3 months of touring the country but I think that would be the case for most trainers.

Bright colours make for comments “look like holiday shoes”. I guess that means comfy. I like the wide foot fitting although my walking style causes the inside of the shoe to glance against the other occasionally which causes external wear to the shoe. my favourite brand alongside Topo.

Already own Altra Lone Peak 6 which I found a little lightweight. The Olympus 5 is much better for my needs. Use for hiking and not running. Has a vibram sole which some dont like but I find ideal. On another buyers advice I added a superfeet insole for added arch support and I have found the perfect shoe for me. Worked out a little expensive but if it gets you what you need!! Comfortable straight from the box. Not waterproof but dry quickly. Only remains to see how they last under prolonged use. Beware ..Once you get used to a wide toe box shoe like the Altra range you cant go back to standard fitting shoes. I have a pair of Hoka which I cant use anymore.

I used these on Scarfel Pike this weekend and I couldn’t more impressed! Excellent grip, comfort and cushioning. Performed better than my hiking boots, I didn’t get any blisters or rubbing and I used them fresh out the box for a 17km hike up the mountain. I did go a half size up to account for swelling and hiking socks which turned out to be the correct thing to do. I have always struggled with footwear as I have very wide feet, these have been the only shoe to live up to the stated features.

I bought a pair myself because of bunions and sore feet then when my OH developed planter fasciitis got him a pair too. They are the comfiest pair of trainers I’ve ever owned and 2 other friends having issues have also bought them. Toes have room to spread and help with balance , rest of trainer not too wide. Great rocking action on the sole for comfortable walking

Definitely one of the best (the best?) fitting, most comfortable shoes to ever grace my wide feet. The above said- that’s of little use if I cannot wear them because they are falling apart from light street walking use! I do not think I have actually used these shoes on a trail yet, god only knows how people ‘baby’ these treads on trail! From very light use I have severe scuffing and rubbing of the uppers, the side foam is deteriorating excessively and the vibram undersole pieces are ‘peeling’ from the footbed - just not good enough! I will track this product for future consideration purely because of the fit and comfort- but I will never buy unless I read plenty of reviews stating that they have resolved the durability issue and I take a punt in a sale… A ‘collab’ with someone like Scarpa (who know how to build footwear) would be the way forward.

Very comfortable shoes, they keep my feet very hot and sweaty despite the "breathable" material. They are true to size

I use them for long hikes and walks. Are well cushioned, wide toe space is luxury and lightweight. I find the stock laces slacken after double knotting frequently but other than than are perfect for my needs at the mo.

I still have the Lone Peak but they are both weatherproof so that means they get hot during the summer. These Altras are for my foot shape wide on the forefoot with high arch. I did not expect them to be supple and much more confident descending on pebbly loose tracks in New Mexico. When I was going off track down this gully, I though my foot got stuck as I was going low to clear the tree limbs. It was just gripping on a rock so well. I was surprise how plush it was and it only meant I can go on longer. Yeah it may impede speed on harder packed flat trails but the descent performance was awesome, so probably you can make up time then. I am just a a late 50's maintenance runner, not racing. My favorite trails go from 1 to 2 k elevation 5 - 8 miles. I also run on flat trails, the mud performace is not so great but not as good as the Lone Peak all weather. I do like road or track and for that I just have budget shoes but if I need to get a track specific one those, I am going to stick with Altras so I preserve the tread on these. I will use the Lone Peaks when the weather gets colder. Rock garden's and boulders performance is great but not sure how fast they'll wear or if the grip will get weaker. Honestly they are too grippy now,. I have a picture how they look after 2 6 mile runs on rough terrain with ascent and descent. The midsoles and soft material could wear out quickly The only other negative is that the laces are not so great, They do the job but they are short, plus they feel low quality. Also we will have to see How the thinnest material will hold. The Lone Peal all weather just has this tough although thin feel about them. For what this shoe can do in performance, I give it 5 stars. For someone that races or an avid runner, I expect them to get shoes every season, so durability may not even be a criteria.

アルトラシューズは最高に履き心地よく購入して良かったです。

Çok rahat ve hafif çok güzel Topuk yırtmaçlı şkli biraz garip orada boşluk olmasa ıslak kayada daha iyi tutunma sağlayabilirdi diye düşünüyorum 🤔

I'm a big, heavy guy coming from a pair of Lone Peaks (which I really liked). My local trails are really rocky & rooty, so I love the extra thickness in the sole of these. The tongue seems really thin but, wearing them, I don't actually notice any difference. They feel great, they've not needed breaking in at all and I've not had any stability issues from the increased stack height. My only complaint is the laces, which need to be a good 20cm/8" longer - they're just barely long enough to do a double knot IF I don't use the last set of eyelets.
