Description
<p>The Altra Olympus 5 is a massively cushioning ultra trail running shoe that allows you to relax and ignore bumps on a not too technical surface. Especially on long distances, you benefit from a constant flow experience, where your feet do not give you any unpleasant feedback such as pressure points and the like.</p><p>The ingenious concept of the trail endurance runner, improved in details, achieves this extremely comfortable, natural feeling on the basis of a stable, quite narrow and pleasantly padded heel section that positions your foot securely. In the midfoot area, too, the lacing allows for an effective, very controllable adjustment without pressure points - the contoured tongue, which tapers out completely flat at the edges, makes an important contribution here. Maximum air flow and a supple, sock-like fit are also ensured by the new Engineered Mesh. A protective toe cap and a wide toe box, which allows your forefoot to develop freely, is obligatory for ultra running shoes and is also implemented in an exemplary manner in the Olympus 5.</p><p>However, the concept only becomes apparent in combination with the softly cushioning, zero-drop midsole, which allows a natural flex despite its thickness of about 33 mm - the exact sole thickness varies with the size. So that you don't lose your grip even in slippery trail conditions, the well-profiled Vibram® Megagrip outsole gives you plenty of traction and grip uphill and downhill.</p><p>Thanks to GaiterTrap™, the shoe is optimally compatible with Altra trail gaiters.</p>
