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.

Las compré por el ancho de la pala del pie. Hay que decir que es necesario comprar un número más porque tallan pequeño, pero son muy cómodas. La suela no es muy amortiguada pero si agarra bien en outdoor. Son muy buenas, he comprado varias para poder lavarlas y ponerme otras. Las recomiendo.

Es ist bereits das 3. paar Altra Olympus 5, bei dem sich die Sohle nach nicht mal 50 km löst. Selbst ein Stern ist noch zu viel für den Preis. Die Schuhe sind nicht zum laufen gemacht.

Son supercómodas, los dedos van sueltos al 100%.Lástima que los acabados del Vibram no sean buenos, ya son las segundas que tengo de ese modelo, y aún sin meterlas tralla de correr por pista (de momento sólo andar y por asfalto), se despegan tacos y demás de la suela.Creo que no volveré a coger esa marca.

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.

I love Altra Lone Peak so I wanted to try these Olympus 5 as they seem similar. I have a fairly normal to slender foot, low arch and I'm a size 10.5 in most men's shoes. In Lone Peak 8, I wear a size 10 however as they have less/thin material and it seems stretchy, loose and breathable. While the Olympus 5 uppers look similar, have similar material, they have a thicker sole and the footbed feels a little different. Because Olympus has a thick sole, the shoe doesn't bend in the same way and is stiffer than Lone Peak. It is more apt to heel slippage because of this. After a few day of break-in the heel slip gets better and the shoe gets more comfortable. It's now about 90% as comfy as Lone Peak... but has more cushion, feels a bit more plush. Lone Peak feels like air.. and is very nimble. It's minimalist without being a minimalist shoe. These are better for bigger rocks and longer distance I suppose. But the sizing on these is wonky... they are literally shorter and way tighter. If you wear Lone Peak.. size up 1/2 size in Olympus 5 or you may be sorry.

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.

After a rainshower of blood clots almost cost me my legs (that's a whole other story), my feet are now damaged and I deal constantly with nerve pain and drop foot. One of life's unexpected gifts at the age of 40, I can assure you. This has put me on a quest to find the best shoe to bring comfort and relief to my feet. After trying Hoka and Asics, and not being satisfied, a rep from REI recommend Altras. I had never heard of them, but was desperate for help. He recommended the Olympus model for cushion, so I went with it. Finally, my aching feet were able to spread out and experience some true comfort. The cushion is just right for what I need and the wide toe-box was perfect for what I needed. The overall width of the shoe is great for me, since I'm now dealing with some balance issues. The build of the shoes have been quality for me and I have literally taken them across the world. They are great for everyday life and they provide me with the comfort I need to keep going. After all of this happened to me, I was determined I would not spend the rest of my life sitting in a recliner. These shoes allow me to go as hard as I want for as long as I need. I am currently on my second pair of Altra Olympus 5's and I'm looking at a third. I'm grateful that Altra has made a shoe that is perfect for feet to spread out, be comfortable, and be active.

I might review this comment if i have the time to give more infos.Context --I've purchased those ALTRA Men's Olympus 5 Trail as a replacement of my Saucony Perigrine ISO (R.I.P. I have flat feet and wanted to test a trail running shoes with this wide toe box shoes. Wanted also to test the famous "zero drop" and needed to have a light arch support. So everything was pointed out Altra brand.I did some research on internet, benchmark etc. And I must admit, I've been seduced by these shoes. Even of a huge issue that every review was pointed out was its durability... And it wasn't something hidden, I mean everywhere, everyone was telling that.The issue --So now we are at the beginning of August 2023, and I have done maybe only 10 runs of approximately 5 to 10k. And I have already experienced degradation of the shoes after roughly 2, 3 weeks... (Gosh I regret my Saucony right now…)Now --I feel really guilty because I fooled myself even if I saw red flags everywhere, It was a serious investment…So do your research! And don't do the same error as me!Also, maybe the GTX (GoreTex version) would have been a better choice. I expect it more robust, but this would come with heavier shoes, more of heat on the feet and less aeration (smell), longer drying time, maybe.And I feel that I will need to buy another pair of trail shoes in no time… :/
