ALTRA Olympus 275 Men’s: maximum protection for technical trails, all day
The ALTRA Olympus 275 is the “tech” trail model in the Olympus range, designed to move comfortably across demanding terrain and during long runs. It combines 33mm cushioning with 0mm drop for a natural feel and more even loading, while the FootShape™ Original provides room at the front for comfort and improved stability on climbs and descents.
Who is it for
For trail runners seeking maximum cushioning and all-day comfort on technical trails, rocky terrain and long efforts. It is also ideal when you need underfoot protection without sacrificing the natural movement feel provided by the 0mm drop.
Ride & protection: 33mm of “buffer” for demanding terrain
The compression-moulded EVA midsole creates a stable, predictable ride with high cushioning. The stack height helps to smooth out the impact of terrain features such as rocks and roots, allowing you to maintain your pace with less muscular fatigue over longer durations.
Grip: Vibram® Megagrip for wet & dry conditions
The Vibram® Megagrip outsole delivers strong grip on mixed surfaces and increases confidence through corners, rocky sections and slippery areas. This helps you read the trail better and step with greater confidence.
Upper: MATRYX® with Kevlar for durability, stability and a breathable fit
The MATRYX® one-piece woven upper with Kevlar yarns increases resistance to abrasion and tearing, while remaining breathable and lightweight for its category. The Zonal Fit Lock stabilises the midfoot, helping you hold your line through technical sections without the foot moving around inside the shoe.
Trail details that make a difference
The TPEE sockliner is designed for a more supportive feel and improved moisture management, while the Scree Sleeve helps reduce the entry of gravel and debris into the shoe when the terrain becomes loose.
