Altra Men's Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoe

I've been a runner and hiker most of my life but my feet are shot. I'm taking drastic measures to correct problems without having surgery or injections. Going to zero down shoes with a wide natural toe is not the drastic part, it's the easy part. I'm also transitioning to bare foot shoes when I'm not at work. This is going to take a while to undo what I've done but so far it seems to be helping. Most people take this journey way too fast so I'm taking people's advice and going slow. These are my first Altras after researching many brands and I like them. Very comfortable. The cushion is good yet not squishy like Hoka, but most of all it's a zero down shoe with plenty of room for my toes to move. Hopefully I can reverse my Morton's Neuroma and abductor digili minimi pain. If your feet hurt then life can be tough. The heel is more snug then I expected (I have very thin feet with no fat) so be warmed. I would have preferred to have gotten the all black but it was $52 more than the black and gray. Couldn't justify it. I did find this color on sale so make sure if you're not picky on what color you need that you look at the different versions. These shoes are not cheap so even $109 in this economy is quite a bit. Eventually I'll be using these for mountain hikes but for a while I'll be using these at work simply as a good pair of shoes. They might look a little funny to some because of the larger toe box but frankly I could care less what people think. At least I can see my feet. Made of good quality materials and even though it doesn't look like it it's quite a light shoe. Definitely worth trying. If these are your first is zero down shoes then take it easy at first. If you're using them to eventually transfer over to barefoot shoes, take it easy, this is not a race. Go up half or a whole size on these. They run small.

​I am beyond impressed with these shoes. They are stylish, lightweight, ultra comfortable & form fitting. ​The biggest win for me is the fit. As someone with wide feet, it’s hard finding shoes that don't bunch my toes together, but these give my feet plenty of room to sit naturally. ​Even if you’re not into trail running, these are great everyday shoes to wear everywhere. Honestly, they’re the only shoes I wear unless I have to dress formal. Whether I'm hitting a trail or just running errands, the comfort is unmatched.

After a rainshower of blood clots almost cost me my legs (that's a whole other story), my feet are now damaged and I deal constantly with nerve pain and drop foot. One of life's unexpected gifts at the age of 40, I can assure you. This has put me on a quest to find the best shoe to bring comfort and relief to my feet. After trying Hoka and Asics, and not being satisfied, a rep from REI recommend Altras. I had never heard of them, but was desperate for help. He recommended the Olympus model for cushion, so I went with it. Finally, my aching feet were able to spread out and experience some true comfort. The cushion is just right for what I need and the wide toe-box was perfect for what I needed. The overall width of the shoe is great for me, since I'm now dealing with some balance issues. The build of the shoes have been quality for me and I have literally taken them across the world. They are great for everyday life and they provide me with the comfort I need to keep going. After all of this happened to me, I was determined I would not spend the rest of my life sitting in a recliner. These shoes allow me to go as hard as I want for as long as I need. I am currently on my second pair of Altra Olympus 5's and I'm looking at a third. I'm grateful that Altra has made a shoe that is perfect for feet to spread out, be comfortable, and be active.

Went from the Altra Lone Peak to these - more comfortable for my feet, but strained my knees. I had put 40 miles on them in 10-mile increments to break them in, but later after a 50 continuous mile run my knees were shot. I attribute this to the thicker cushioning making a more unstable platform. i could feel my calves and thighs working harder on uneven uphills, though flat running was fine. I don't fault the shoes for this, as I bought them knowing this was a risk with the thicker foam and they're otherwise great. I'll probably alternate w the Lone Peaks until my knees adapt since my feet were less sore in these on the longer run than past 50-mile stretches. -1 star only because the toe rubber is peeling off after less than 100 miles but I'll just use some glue so no big deal. BTW for people complaining about durability, these are trail shoes and made to be light, so therefore less durable than say, a hiking boot, so a little perspective is appropriate. You do expect the soles to stay on better though.

These shoes are super light weight, have great traction, and are ultra comfortable! They are breathable and great for hiking! I love these shoes!

Çok rahat ve hafif çok güzel Topuk yırtmaçlı şkli biraz garip orada boşluk olmasa ıslak kayada daha iyi tutunma sağlayabilirdi diye düşünüyorum 🤔

I'm a big, heavy guy coming from a pair of Lone Peaks (which I really liked). My local trails are really rocky & rooty, so I love the extra thickness in the sole of these. The tongue seems really thin but, wearing them, I don't actually notice any difference. They feel great, they've not needed breaking in at all and I've not had any stability issues from the increased stack height. My only complaint is the laces, which need to be a good 20cm/8" longer - they're just barely long enough to do a double knot IF I don't use the last set of eyelets.
