Altra Men's Olympus 7 - Black/Black/Dark Shadow
See our entire range from Altra here!
The Altra Men's Olympus 7 is a maximum cushioned trail shoe for long runs, ultras, hiking and all-day trail runs. The combination of a soft Altra EGO™ MAX midsole and Vibram® Megagrip outsole with TractionLug™ provides high comfort and reliable grip on varied terrain.
The Olympus 7 features Altra's roomy Original FootShape™ Fit, 0mm drop, and 33mm sole height. The result is a well-cushioned trail shoe with plenty of toe room and a balanced heel-to-forefoot position.
The updated Altra EGO™ MAX midsole is 15 percent lighter and 10 percent softer than the previous version, according to Altra. The cushioning is designed to provide a soft and comfortable feel over longer distances without the shoe feeling unnecessarily heavy.
The Olympus 7 is therefore particularly well suited for ultra running, long training sessions and hikes where comfort over many hours is more important than maximum ground contact.
The Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides durable grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The TractionLug™ construction improves the sole's contact and stability with the ground, making the shoe suitable for trails, rocks, gravel and technical terrain.
Original FootShape™ Fit is Altra's roomiest fit with extra room in the toe box and through the midfoot, allowing your toes to spread naturally while the shoe keeps your foot in place during your run.
The heel and forefoot are placed at the same height thanks to Altra's 0mm drop. If you have not previously run in shoes without a height difference, it may be wise to increase your use gradually.
The breathable technical mesh upper combines with molded TPU reinforcements for added durability and protection. A softer tongue and integrated comfort collar provide a snug feel around the foot and ankle.
On the heel is the Altra GaiterTrap™, which allows you to attach compatible gaiters without installing straps under the shoe.
