Altra Olympus 6 vs Inov-8 TrailFly Ultra G 300 MAX
The Altra Olympus 6 is the stronger pick for most trail runners. It pairs a 33mm max-cushion midsole with a Vibram Megagrip outsole and Altra's roomiest Original FootShape toe box, and owners rate it 4.8 out of 5. The inov-8 TrailFly Ultra G 300 MAX is a lighter, lower-profile option with a 6mm drop and graphene-enhanced grip, but it comes in medium width only and its round toe gives toes less room. Choose the Altra for long, technical trail days and wide feet; choose the inov-8 if you prefer a traditional drop and a snugger fit.
- Choose the Altra Olympus 6 if you want maximum cushioning, a wide foot-shaped toe box and proven Vibram grip for long trail runs and hikes.
- Choose the inov-8 TrailFly Ultra G 300 MAX if you prefer a 6mm heel drop, a lighter shoe and a medium-width fit closer to a standard running shoe.
