Why We Like The Altra Olympus 5.0 Trail Running Shoe

With nothing but miles upon miles of singletrack on the agenda, we lace into the Olympus 5.0 Trail Running Shoe. The cushiest in Altra's trail line, this pair softens rock gardens and scree fields, while the grooved midsole flexes with our feet affording them natural movement atop technical terrain.

Great fit! Great walking/light hiking shoes.

They fit my feet very well; even my orthotist likes them and thinks they are perfect for my feet. I would have given 5 stars, but the Altra Customer Service never answered my emails.

Love it

My picture speaks for itself. My first Olympus has 150 miles on it and still look strong. Just bought 2 more pairs

Durability issues for hiking

Comfortable, stable, and fell apart within 300 miles. It is a very stable shoe with great grip. No blisters in my time with them. I found them to be comfortable on moderately long days (26 miles). They started showing wear on the upper material within the first hundred miles. After finishing 125 miles yesterday in the Wind River High Route, both sides of both shoes were blown out, the heel cups look like they had an ice cream scoop taken out of the padding, and the midsole had compressed where I could feel the rocks more than I would like. It is an excellent show but the lack of durability is disappointing considering the premium price.

Again and again!

I've had every iteration of the Olympus. They are my go-to standard for long trail runs! I appreciate that Altra has kept the wide toe box in the Olympus. The Olympus 5 has some issues with the sole peeling up, but it seems to have been resolved in the 6! Love these shoes! Happy trails to you!

Great shoe...one flaw!

These have been my standard trail shoes for yrs and I love them. However I'm now on my 3rd pair and the sole on the forefoot has peeled away from each pair. I've returned them & replaced them and it is not a fluke.

Built to squeak

I run long distances. Bought half size larger and these run small so overall fit is ok. Laces were way too short, can't even tie the shoe. Build quality is below average. It sounds like I am pumping up an air mattress with one shoe constantly when running on dirt road after any water crossing. Tread is coming off. Maybe have 350 miles on them. 1 star due to disappointment in overall performance. That being said I will buy another pair when they discontinue them and they are on sale.

I would buy this product again and again but..

It's a great shoe no doubt..but the left one has developed this annoyingly loud squeaking noise every step I take. Would I buy another pair? Definitely. The comfort of the shoes while running is great. Other than the annoying squeaking noise awesome shoes

Really great shoe but lifespan is short

I was not sure if I would like the thick cushioning after the LP, but these worked out well. My complaint is that after 1 year of light use the side wall of the shoe is failing and sole separating.
