Our take on the Altra Men's Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX

The Altra Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX is a waterproof mid-cut hiking boot built on Altra's signature zero-drop platform, with a thick compression-molded EVA midsole and a Vibram Megagrip outsole. The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit liner keeps feet dry in wet conditions, and the leather upper adds durability for rough trails. It suits hikers who want maximum cushioning and a natural foot position rather than a stiff, supportive boot.

Questions and answers

Is the Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX worth it?
It is worth it if you want a waterproof, heavily cushioned zero-drop boot for wet trails and long days. Hikers who need a stiff, supportive boot for technical terrain should look elsewhere.
How does it compare to the Olympus 5 Hike Mid GTX?
The Olympus 6 updates the midsole foam and upper for a slightly more refined fit and ride while keeping the zero-drop platform and Vibram Megagrip outsole. The changes are incremental rather than a redesign.
Is it really waterproof?
Yes. The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit liner is waterproof and breathable, so it handles rain, wet grass and shallow stream crossings. Water can still enter over the top of a mid-cut boot in deep water.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
It is 0 mm, a true zero-drop platform. That encourages a flatter foot strike, which takes some getting used to if you normally wear traditional boots with a raised heel.
What is in the box?
You get the pair of boots with the stock laces. Insoles and socks are not included.
When is it cheapest?
Altra hiking boots tend to see the deepest discounts during end-of-season sales and around major holiday sales events, and again when a successor model launches.
