ALTRA Men's OLYMPUS 6 White

ALTRA Olympus 6 Men’s: max cushioning for trail running & hiking that lasts for hours

The ALTRA Olympus 6 is Altra’s plush max-cushion trail model, designed for long distances, technical terrain and all-day comfort. It combines 0mm drop with FootShape™ Original (the roomiest fit in the range), allowing the foot to land more naturally and the toes to spread without pressure.

Where it performs best

It performs ideally for trail running and hiking, especially when you want high cushioning to reduce fatigue over long periods, along with stability on ascents and descents.

Ride: 33mm of underfoot protection

The plush compression-molded EVA midsole provides a soft feel with controlled response. With a 33mm/33mm stack, it smooths out impacts from rocks and roots and maintains comfort even when the terrain challenges you for hours.

Grip: Vibram® Megagrip with an updated lug pattern

The Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides strong grip in dry and wet conditions, while the updated lug design is intended to offer improved durability and confidence on technical sections.

Upper: engineered mesh, more breathable for long days

The engineered mesh is breathable and durable for trail use. Meanwhile, the comfortable step-in feel is enhanced by the more premium finish around the Achilles, providing a softer feel at the collar.
