  • Awesome shoes
Size: 11.5 Color: Gray/Orange
Love the shoes. Sizing: altra sizing is weird. I got lonepeak 9 and 11 is a bit roomy for my feet, but I use it mostly for walking so it’s perfect. This pair is too tight at 11, and at 11.5 it fits nicely but not roomy. I was concerned about the “achilles pillow”, many reported getting blister from it. I got blister easily but happy to report it didn’t happen to me. But just fyi. The cushion is maxed out, really helps w my bad knees for running. And still loving the zero drop feature. Some on reddit mentioned the terribly short laces. Sad to report they’re indeed almost a bit too short. Altra, why? I don’t know how good the shoes are going to hold, I have only used them for a few times. Will update! ... show more

  • Amazing support and comfort!
Size: 12 Color: Black/Black
This is an amazingly comfortable and supportive running shoe. I have long suffered from chronic metatarsitis pain in my feet, due to an ill-advised fling with barefoot running years ago, so good footwear is a big deal for me now to avoid having that pain come back. This shoe is expensive but, to me, is worth every penny! I love that it is zero-drop, which is good for my aging knees and lets me land on my midfoot or forefoot while running. I also appreciate that it is very thickly padded. It's rare to find a zero-drop shoe with this degree of padding; most zero-drop shoes tend to go light on the padding or else have no padding at all, in keeping with the whole "barefoot" philosophy of running. But that does not work for me with my foot issues. I don't do trail running, I just use it on the road, and I am not a long-distance runner by any means, just a few miles. This shoe is perfect for what I do and it's great for walking too. ... show more

  • Great shoes for the long haul
Size: 11 Color: Blue
I have run over 100 miles in both the Altra Olympus 6 as well as the Altra Lone Peak 7 and while both are great shoes, I think they serve different purposes. The Lone Peak is great for that ground contact feel on more technical trails where if you do roll an ankle, there’s less distance to travel to the ground and you might absorb it better and pop back up. The lesser stack height lets you feel trails a bit better and I think find your footing a bit better. However, with that lower stack height, it can sometimes be a bit tiring on your feet after more than 15-20 or so miles in my experience. The Olympus on the other hand is an ultra marathon beast that has a very grippy sole that is comfortable for a very long haul. If you’re doing longer and less technical routes like gravel, then it’s a great shoe that is comfy for a long time. However, in my experience, the Olympus is too tall of a shoe for more technical trails and actually led me to spraining my ankle multiple times during a race when I should’ve worn the Lone Peaks because of wet and technical trails. Both good shoes, I just think you have to know what trails you’re running and which shoe in your rotation makes the most sense. The star off is because Altra cannot figure out their own sizing and I had to size up a half size in the Olympus because the toe-box was too short otherwise. I am a 10.5 in Lone Peaks and 11 in Olympus for reference. ... show more

  • Love my funny looking shoes
Size: 11.5 Color: Blue
Goofy looking... These things look HUGE on my feet but are the best running shoe I've ever owned. I use these for trail running and on running days at Crossfit

  • It's been all downhill since the Olympus 4
I'm a longtime Altra Olympus wearer since the 1.5. My wife called the 1.5's my "clown shoes" but I loved them and still wear them on the beach. I have foot problems (neuroma) and the Olympus, when it works, is pretty much the only shoe I find comfortable. This is because of the zero drop, padding, and roomy natural foot shape. Unfortunately, all Olympus models are not the same because Altra tweaks them with every revision. For me, Olympus 4 was the pinnacle of comfort. So much so that I own eight of them. I though I'd give Olympus 6 a try to get a new color. What a huge disappointment. There are three main problems with the Olympus 6: 1) Too tight. The same size 11 is now too tight across. I can't wear them. The natural foot shape seems to have been reduced compared to the Olympus 4. The shoe is too tight. 2) Heel slips off. I just read this in other reviews, but the heel slips off and feels lower. Not enough material holding the shoe onto my foot at the back. The shoe feels stiffer overall, which contributes to this problem. 3) The shoelaces are too short. WTF? Why? I read this happened with Olympus 5, but the laces are too damn short. The problem is even worse because the shoe is so tight I have to loosen the laces more. Why did Altra decide to save a fraction of a penny and ship shoes with too-short laces? Taking these back to Whole Foods for a return. My only hope is that since Altra jerks around so much with changes to the Olympus model with each revision, maybe the Olympus 7 will be better. In the meantime, I have my stockpile of Olympus 4's. ... show more

  • Very unusual fit
Size: 11.5 Color: Blue
This was a very unusual shoe in the way it fits. The heel is VERY short. It walks like a slip on with the heel slipping off of your foot with each step, even when tied. It was reasonably comfortable otherwise aside from being narrow. I did not take away for being narrow as I know I have a wider foot, but these are supposed to fit wider feet. ... show more
