ALTRA Men's Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoe

Love this shoe! Instant sole comfort and arch support. I wear these for work and my arches and feet feel great after a long day

Best running/trail shoe I’ve ever owned. Very lightweight and comfortable, but supportive in all the right places. The wide toe box is a game changer. This model does run a size small imo. I wear a 10 but ordered 11 and they fit great. Will be an Altra customer for life.

These are the only shoes I wear, no foot or knee pain at all. They were a great price too.

Went from the Altra Lone Peak to these - more comfortable for my feet, but strained my knees. I had put 40 miles on them in 10-mile increments to break them in, but later after a 50 continuous mile run my knees were shot. I attribute this to the thicker cushioning making a more unstable platform. i could feel my calves and thighs working harder on uneven uphills, though flat running was fine. I don't fault the shoes for this, as I bought them knowing this was a risk with the thicker foam and they're otherwise great. I'll probably alternate w the Lone Peaks until my knees adapt since my feet were less sore in these on the longer run than past 50-mile stretches.-1 star only because the toe rubber is peeling off after less than 100 miles but I'll just use some glue so no big deal. BTW for people complaining about durability, these are trail shoes and made to be light, so therefore less durable than say, a hiking boot, so a little perspective is appropriate. You do expect the soles to stay on better though.

I've been a runner and hiker most of my life but my feet are shot. I'm taking drastic measures to correct problems without having surgery or injections. Going to zero down shoes with a wide natural toe is not the drastic part, it's the easy part. I'm also transitioning to bare foot shoes when I'm not at work. This is going to take a while to undo what I've done but so far it seems to be helping. Most people take this journey way too fast so I'm taking people's advice and going slow.These are my first Altras after researching many brands and I like them. Very comfortable. The cushion is good yet not squishy like Hoka, but most of all it's a zero down shoe with plenty of room for my toes to move. Hopefully I can reverse my Morton's Neuroma and abductor digili minimi pain. If your feet hurt then life can be tough. The heel is more snug then I expected (I have very thin feet with no fat) so be warmed.I would have preferred to have gotten the all black but it was $52 more than the black and gray. Couldn't justify it. I did find this color on sale so make sure if you're not picky on what color you need that you look at the different versions. These shoes are not cheap so even $109 in this economy is quite a bit. Eventually I'll be using these for mountain hikes but for a while I'll be using these at work simply as a good pair of shoes. They might look a little funny to some because of the larger toe box but frankly I could care less what people think. At least I can see my feet.Made of good quality materials and even though it doesn't look like it it's quite a light shoe.Definitely worth trying. If these are your first is zero down shoes then take it easy at first. If you're using them to eventually transfer over to barefoot shoes, take it easy, this is not a race.Go up half or a whole size on these. They run small.

Tried a lot of shoes lately. Nike Air, Puma, Addias etc.These shoes here are worth the money and have great arch support and cushion for long standing and being on my feet for long periods. As a massage therapist I have to stand a lot and move around a lot. Now my feet sing happy noises when the day is done

Hi all, as of mid-October, the Teal/Gray combo .. 45% off.. no where during shopping was I under the impression I'd receive a pair of Altra that were not brand new in their original box, with stuffing inside the shoes and all. So, while I don't believe this pair was anything more than too big for the last person, I did not receive a brand new pair.Surely, the discount is great, and I have trouble moving away from Altra as it is! I can say with 100% confidence that there was no disclaimer provided to me saying, this cost, that I may receive these in anything other than brand new condition, in their original packaging, with paper inside to keep the form of the shoe.Altra, did you give a second pair of laces with these, brand new? If so, I'm missing those, too.Anyway, to end it all, they fit perfectly. Please follow EU sizing if you're unsure as the 11.5 is not something I should have ordered in a 12!

My first Altra shoes. My initial impression is the good quality. I still have to try trailing with these shoes.
