5.0 out of 5 stars Needed Zero Down Shoes
I've been a runner and hiker most of my life but my feet are shot. I'm taking drastic measures to correct problems without having surgery or injections. Going to zero down shoes with a wide natural toe is not the drastic part, it's the easy part. I'm also transitioning to bare foot shoes when I'm not at work. This is going to take a while to undo what I've done but so far it seems to be helping. Most people take this journey way too fast so I'm taking people's advice and going slow.These are my first Altras after researching many brands and I like them. Very comfortable. The cushion is good yet not squishy like Hoka, but most of all it's a zero down shoe with plenty of room for my toes to move. Hopefully I can reverse my Morton's Neuroma and abductor digili minimi pain. If your feet hurt then life can be tough. The heel is more snug then I expected (I have very thin feet with no fat) so be warmed.I would have preferred to have gotten the all black but it was $52 more than the black and gray. Couldn't justify it. I did find this color on sale so make sure if you're not picky on what color you need that you look at the different versions. These shoes are not cheap so even $109 in this economy is quite a bit. Eventually I'll be using these for mountain hikes but for a while I'll be using these at work simply as a good pair of shoes. They might look a little funny to some because of the larger toe box but frankly I could care less what people think. At least I can see my feet.Made of good quality materials and even though it doesn't look like it it's quite a light shoe.Definitely worth trying. If these are your first is zero down shoes then take it easy at first. If you're using them to eventually transfer over to barefoot shoes, take it easy, this is not a race.Go up half or a whole size on these. They run small.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic shoe
Fantastic trail running shoe. Light weight, big toe box and cushion. I bought one pair and then immediately bought 2 more just in case. Absolutely love this shoe. I trail run and hike every weekend and by far the most comfortable I've ever had. Toe box is great and cushion keeps my feet from dying.
5.0 out of 5 stars Plush and comfy as grippy. Midsole could wear out quickly
I still have the Lone Peak but they are both weatherproof so that means they get hot during the summer. These Altras are for my foot shape wide on the forefoot with high arch.I did not expect them to be supple and much more confident descending on pebbly loose tracks in New Mexico. When I was going off track down this gully, I though my foot got stuck as I was going low to clear the tree limbs. It was just gripping on a rock so well. I was surprise how plush it was and it only meant I can go on longer. Yeah it may impede speed on harder packed flat trails but the descent performance was awesome, so probably you can make up time then. I am just a a late 50's maintenance runner, not racing. My favorite trails go from 1 to 2 k elevation 5 - 8 miles. I also run on flat trails, the mud performace is not so great but not as good as the Lone Peak all weather. I do like road or track and for that I just have budget shoes but if I need to get a track specific one those, I am going to stick with Altras so I preserve the tread on these. I will use the Lone Peaks when the weather gets colder.Rock garden's and boulders performance is great but not sure how fast they'll wear or if the grip will get weaker. Honestly they are too grippy now,. I have a picture how they look after 2 6 mile runs on rough terrain with ascent and descent. The midsoles and soft material could wear out quicklyThe only other negative is that the laces are not so great, They do the job but they are short, plus they feel low quality.Also we will have to see How the thinnest material will hold. The Lone Peal all weather just has this tough although thin feel about them.For what this shoe can do in performance, I give it 5 stars. For someone that races or an avid runner, I expect them to get shoes every season, so durability may not even be a criteria.
4.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelmed for the price
I had a pair of altra lone peak hiking boots back in 2019. I ultimately didn't keep them because the fit was slightly too small and they didn't have the next size up in stock. I just had a hip replacement and decided I really needed some supportive, comfy shoes to recover with. I tried several brands before deciding to try altras again . I ended up having to try and return 3x before I found the right size..I first went with my original size I needed based on what I ordered before , and they ended up being about 3 sizes too big !!! I then ordered based on their size chart and still ended up being much too large . I normally wear a 10-11 in women's. I ended up with a 9 in mens and the toe box still seems excessively wide, however the middle of my foot is so tight and narrow, I have to lace it as loose as possible which seems very odd to me, something I've never encountered before. These shoes do seem soft and supportive but they feel strange and I'm not sure how well they're going to work out once I'm back to walking long distance. The other complaint I have is that the color as depicted online seems black but these are definitely GREY. I'm willing to settle with that but it is a little disappointing. Lastly, I have to say, the quality just seems really cheap, as in, the material feels very flimsy and cheaply made and I have real doubts about how well these will last. They definitely do not seem like the same quality or fit of the Altras I ordered back in 2019. I almost went with Solomon instead, however their shoes were shockingly narrow in fit and also sized very oddly and too large compared to what their size chart claims. I guess shoes now are just really hard to find in general.
OLYMPUS 5 Trail Running Shoe Opinion.
Love this particular pair of ALTRA's.Using mainly for late winter walking. I even wear orthotics with these and they work very well for me.I have been wearing them for 2 weeks now, no complaints. DEFINITELY an outside shoe. Bottom of shoe not recommended for the GYM Environment. There are other shoes you can purchase from ALTRA for the GYM. BTW, I am in Canada. ALTRA is a USA Product. You will either have to purchase on Bolo or some outfitting places wherever they are located. ALTRA USA does NOT deliver to CANADA "yet".

Hay que acostumbrarse a esta zapatilla da la sensación de parecer un pato, viniendo de usar salomon speedcross.Para caminar y correr son muy cómodas.
Excellent for sore feet
I bought a pair myself because of bunions and sore feet then when my OH developed planter fasciitis got him a pair too. They are the comfiest pair of trainers I’ve ever owned and 2 other friends having issues have also bought them. Toes have room to spread and help with balance , rest of trainer not too wide. Great rocking action on the sole for comfortable walking
Altra Olympus
Super bequeme Schuhe, gute Belüftung. Leider gehen relativ schnell die Aufgeklebten Streifen ab bzw. das silberne Altra Logo.
Gut für ausgedehnte Wanderungen
Gute Verarbeitung und Passform mit breiter Zehenbox. VIBRAM-Sohle mit sehr gutem Grip. Leichtgewichtiger Schuh, den ich gerne für mehrstündige Wanderungen mit meinem Hund bei trockenen Bedingungen nutze. Keine Blasen oder Druckstellen. Ich bin von dem Schuh begeistert.
