Altra Olympus 6
I've been an avid Altra fan for years, but must admit, the Olympus 5 missed the mark for both comfort and durability. However, the Olympus 6 is back on point! A super comfortable shoe for hours on the trails.

Love the Olympus 6! Great for long distance hikes.
I absolutely love these new Altra Olympus 6 trail shoes! I had two pairs of the Olympus 5s, and while the rubber on the bottom did start to come off during the first week, a bit of superglue fixed it right up. I wore these on the Tour du Mont Blanc, and they performed wonderfully! The extra cushioning and durability are fantastic. I’ll definitely be buying another pair for my next long hike. The extra cushioning completely prevented any foot pain, and they held up for an entire summer, covering around 200 miles of hiking!
