*The comparison measurement is the measured length of the longer foot plus 0.5 cm. Therefore, do not add additional space when comparing the result with the table.
User experiences vary from normal to slightly large in size. Several tests describe the model as normal in length, while a compilation of 12 user opinions at RunRepeat leans towards it feeling slightly large.
A female tester who normally wears a US 10 to 10.5 chose a US 10 and found the fit to be good. The base is still limited, but the overall picture shows that most people don't need to go up a size.
| Fit | Experience |
| Length | Normal to slightly spacious |
| Toe box | Very wide and foot-shaped |
| Toe height | Generous vertical space |
| Metatarsal | Roomier than many trail shoes |
| Top | Shapes to the foot but provides structured support |
| Narrow feet | Can be perceived as voluminous |
The Olympus 275 should not automatically be considered the same size as the Olympus 6. The older model is perceived by some as short, while the 275 is more often described as normal or slightly roomy.
First of all, choose your usual size in Altra women's shoes.
Choose the smaller size if:
Choose the larger size if:
Don't go down a size just because the toe box feels wide. Your toes should be able to move freely, while your heel and midfoot should be held firmly in place.
The heel should be stable and the midfoot should be held in place without uncomfortable pressure. The toes should be able to move freely both laterally and vertically.
Try the shoes on an incline. Your foot should not slide forward and your toes should not hit the front edge when running downhill. If the length feels right but your heel moves, a heel-locking lacing system can improve the fit.
