Why We Like The Altra Olympus Mid GTX 2 Hiking Shoe
With the Altra Olympus Mid GTX 2 Hiking Shoe laced to our feet, we trek confidently into the backcountry. The impermeable yet breathable GORE-TEX lining keeps our feet dry without burdening their microclimate, and the leather upper fights off abrasions and tears as the terrain gets more and more rugged. A generous 33mm stack of foam underfoot keeps the ground feeling soft mile after mile, while the aggressive and sticky Vibram Megagrip lugs chew up soft earth and grip to slick rocks to keep our footing secure no matter what we're striding over.

Fantastic Olympus 6
I have the previous Olympus 4 and I still love them. However this 6 is super fantastic and even better that the 4 but wins over the Olympus 5! I never liked the 5 and had to return because they just felt weird,. The cushion in the back of the heel made the shoe feel smaller and you had to size down for things to work. That was the 5. But these 6 really are the top! I was afraid at first it would be too much height with the cushion and may be wobbly but it is stable and firm. This is really the top version of the Olympus the 6. And this color is out of this world! . The laces are wide and tie perfectly. I did not have to double tie because they stay tied. The other always like most have to double tie tie or else they untie after awhile. The new color of this shoe is gorgeous. It looks stunning and expensive which it is. I have been very picky upgrading and this is perfect. I like the Olympus because of how stable. I have the black in 4 because I can do anything like my yard. But this color is real classy. I don't want to get it dirty. Love it Love it!!!! Oh I am 75 years old with lots of arthritis and problems and this Olympus 6 is very very comfortable and has helped my problems with arthritis>
