The Altra Olympus 6 features a 0mm (zero) drop, meaning the heel and forefoot are at the same height. This is designed to promote a natural, balanced foot strike.
Yes, the Olympus 6 is exceptionally well-suited for both trail running and hiking. Its maximal cushioning, durable build, and superior grip make it ideal for long distances and technical terrain, regardless of activity.
Clean them with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Gently scrub to remove dirt, then air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.
The FootShape™ Toe Box provides ample room for your toes to splay out naturally. This enhances stability, comfort, and power during push-off, especially on uneven terrain, and helps prevent foot discomfort.
The Altra Olympus 6 offers maximum cushioning, with a 33mm stack height of Plush EVA Foam, providing exceptional comfort and impact protection for long periods on the trail.
While technically possible, the Altra Olympus 6 is primarily designed for optimal performance on trails. Its aggressive outsole and maximal cushioning are geared towards varied off-road surfaces and may feel less efficient or comfortable on pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.
GAITERTRAP™ is a hook-and-loop system (Velcro) located on the heel of the shoe, allowing you to easily and securely attach Altra trail gaiters to prevent debris from entering your shoes.
This is common when transitioning to zero-drop footwear. Gradually increase your mileage in the Olympus 6. Start with short walks and runs, slowly extending duration. Incorporate calf stretches into your routine.
While the Vibram® Megagrip is excellent, no sole is infallible on all surfaces. Ensure your lug pattern is clear of debris. Adjust your stride and footing on highly slippery sections, and consider the age of your shoes; worn lugs reduce grip.
The Engineered Mesh Upper is breathable, but individual foot temperature can vary. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extremely hot conditions, consider gaiters to prevent debris while still allowing airflow, and take breaks to air out your feet if possible.
Utilize the GAITERTRAP™ feature to attach compatible Altra gaiters. This will effectively seal the ankle area and prevent sand, small rocks, and other trail debris from entering your shoes.
When you first receive your Altra Olympus 6, take some time to properly lace them to ensure a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. While the Olympus 6 offers immediate comfort, like all performance footwear, a short break-in period is beneficial. We recommend wearing them for shorter walks or easy runs before tackling long distances to allow your feet to adapt to the 0mm drop and the shoe's unique feel, especially if you're new to Altra.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Olympus 6 sneakers:
