Altra Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoes
Hit the trails running with the Olympus 5, Altra's plushest trail runner, ready to tackle all terrain. The EVA midsole foam offers underfoot protection and comfort while the Original FootShape Fit gives your feet the space they need to sit naturally.
Engineered Mesh Upper
Made from an engineered mesh upper, the Altra Olympus 5 is lightweight and breathable for all-temperature comfort. The mesh acts as a second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit whilst the perforated construction allows cool air to circulate keeping them cooler. A premium collar has been used on the Olympus 5, providing a tailored and locked-in secure fit keeping you balanced and comfortable no matter the surface you are on. Newly designed sidewalls add structure and durability to the shoe keeping you protected on the trails. A hook and loop tab connects a strapless gaiter to prevent debris from building beneath the shoe. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system which helps to lock the foot down to prevent excessive movement.
Compression Moulded Midsole
The midsole is crafted from a compression moulded EVA that is ultra-lightweight and responsive, providing a bouncy feel underfoot to propel you forward. The midsole foam reduces pressure on your joints as you strike the road. This is also highly durable, providing all the cushioning you need for the longest of runs keeping you comfortable from the first mile to the last. The original Footshape technology has a wider toe box, allowing you to splay your toes for a more natural fit and feel when running on any surface. Every Altra shoe features the Balance Cushioning Platform that places the heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground for natural alignment and a low-impact landing.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
Finishing the Olympus 5 is a Vibram Megagrip outsole, a high-performance sticky rubber that provides exceptional grip and traction on any surface whether dry or wet. The outsole also includes flex grooves which increase traction and grip of varied surfaces by allowing your foot to move naturally providing a larger surface area. The grooves have been cut out of the midsole to reduce overall weight and ensure traction when running. They offer a multi-directional grip that flexes as you move for more speed and better performance.
