Is the Olympus 6 good for wide feet?

Yes. It uses Altra's wide, foot-shaped toe box, so toes splay without pressure. The midfoot is still snug, so try your usual size first.

How does the Olympus 6 compare with the Olympus 5?

The 6 keeps the max cushioning and zero drop but updates the mesh upper for breathability and revises the Vibram Megagrip lug pattern. It adds a padded Achilles pillow and is still a plush long-distance trail shoe rather than a fast one.

Is the Olympus 6 zero drop?

Yes. Heel and forefoot sit at the same height, which shifts load to the calf and Achilles. Ease in if you are new to zero drop.

What is the Olympus 6 best for?

Long trail runs, hikes and ultras where cushioning matters more than speed. It is less suited to technical scrambling or tempo work.

Does the Olympus 6 have a Vibram outsole?

Yes. It uses a Vibram Megagrip outsole with an updated lug pattern for traction, stability and durability on technical terrain.

What is the Olympus 6 made of?

A breathable mesh upper with a mesh lining, a cushioned EVA insole, a lace-up closure and a rubber outsole. It has an ankle pull tab and a padded Achilles pillow.

Our take on the Altra Men's Olympus 6

The Altra Olympus 6 is a max-cushion trail shoe built on Altra's zero-drop platform and a wide, foot-shaped toe box. It is aimed at hikers and trail runners who want plush cushioning and room for their toes to splay over long days. The upper is a breathable mesh with a padded Achilles pillow and pull tab, and the outsole is Vibram Megagrip with a revised lug pattern for durability and traction. It is plusher and roomier than most trail rivals, but heavier and less nimble than lighter, lower-stack shoes.
