ALTRA Men's OLYMPUS 6 HIKE LOW GTX BROWN

ALTRA OLYMPUS 6 HIKE LOW GTX Waterproof Hiking Shoes

The ALTRA Olympus 6 Hike Low GTX is a hiking shoe with max cushioning, designed for long distances and demanding terrain. Altra combines waterproof protection, strong grip and a roomy fit. This allows you to walk comfortably and with control on dirt, rock and mixed surfaces, even when the weather changes.

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit: what it is and how it benefits you

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit is a membrane bonded to the upper for a more natural fit. It does not create a heavy feel inside the shoe. It also keeps water out while allowing better moisture management. This keeps the foot more comfortable in rain, mud and cold air.

• Waterproof protection for wet terrain and changing weather
• Better fit feel compared with more rigid constructions
• More consistent comfort during long hikes

Vibram® Megagrip: what it is and why it stands out

The Vibram® Megagrip outsole uses premium rubber designed for strong traction. Step with confidence on dry terrain. It also grips better when rock is wet. This gives you greater control on ascents and descents, while providing durability for frequent use.

• Grip on dry/wet surfaces for more secure footing
• Control on technical sections and uneven ground
• Durability for many hiking miles

Max cushioning with Plush compression-moulded EVA

Altra uses plush compression-moulded EVA in the midsole for max cushioning. It absorbs impact on hard trails. It also reduces fatigue on long routes. This helps the Olympus 6 Hike Low GTX support your pace and stability right to the end.

Original FootShape™ Fit: toe room, better balance

The Original FootShape™ provides Altra’s roomiest toe box. The toes can splay more naturally, especially when the foot swells at the end of the day. The roomy feel also improves balance on challenging slopes. This gives you more stable footing on climbs and descents.

Leather upper & constructed collar: protection and a secure fit

The leather upper enhances durability and trail protection. In addition, the constructed collar provides more stable support on technical terrain. This gives you better lockdown and a more secure feel on uneven surfaces.
