The Altra Olympus 6 might just be the trail shoe that you didn’t realize you were missing. Not only does it have magnificent grip, but enough cushion for super long runs or trail hiking days.
As a running coach and gear tester, I’ve made it my mission to explore the latest offerings and put them through their paces, ensuring that you make an informed decision when it comes to enhancing your running experience.
This time around fellow coach and long time Altra enthusiast Laura Swenson put the Olympus to the test over roughly 40 miles of dirt roads, muddy conditions, slick granite, and plenty of rocks.
Can a shoe somehow be maximal and minimal at the same time? That’s what it feels like when you’re rocking a big stack of cushion with a zero drop shoe!
As always, note that we are super honest in our running shoe reviews about what works, doesn’t work and of course we have preferences in shoes after 20+ years running and testing hundreds! So take what seems most valuable to you from here and decide if it’s a trail running shoe worth adding to your rotation.
