Men's Olympus 6
A max-stack of soft, compression-molded cushioning and improved durability make the Olympus 6 one of the plushest trail runners around. It's built to keep long days on rugged terrain comfortable.
The Altra Men's Olympus 6 is a max-cushion trail running shoe built for runners who demand plush underfoot protection without sacrificing traction. A compression-molded EVA midsole, Vibram Megagrip outsole, and Altra's Original FootShape toe box combine to carry you confidently from groomed paths to demanding terrain.
The Most Plush Trail Runner You’ll Find Back again is the ultra plush, Altra Olympus 6, returning with improved durability to help you go the extra mile. A max stack of soft, compression-molded EVA foam makes up the midsole, protected your feet from impact while maintaining a responsive feel. An update to the Olympus is seen in the upper design, revamped to enhance breathability and made with lightweight, engineered mesh. The Olympus 6 is a trail shoe, so it makes sense that one of its most impressive features is found in the outsole. Altra uses a Vibram® Megagrip outsole that utilizes a lug pattern for increased durability, stability, and traction. Whether you’re traversing light paths, or trekking strenuous trails, the Olympus 6 allows you to travel confidently. After lacing up, you’re sure to notice the roomy toe box thanks to Altra’s Original FootShape Fit. This design allows you toes to spread naturally, and gives a little more space through the midfoot. Finally, another update to the Altra Olympus is the inclusion of a premium Achilles pillow, helping to elevate step-in feel for a more comfortable fit.
