I have been a long time Altra devotee, and generally love their shoes. I have had a handful of Lone Peaks (shoes and boots), road shoes, and even a pair of casual shoes. All of which I have loved. I originally purchased a pair of Timp 4, however Altra has unfortunately strayed away from their original foot shape with that shoe. I returned those for the Olympus for longer runs that would be on paved road, gravel road/multi track, and single track.Original impression of the Olympus was that the shape was wonderful and fit my foot perfectly. The materials were generally well sourced, but the shoe laces were woefully short. For the huge amount of stack (30mm), the shoe was pretty unimpressive. Felt stiff and dead, with little spring for such an amount of cushioning. ... MoreI have been a long time Altra devotee, and generally love their shoes.

The Vibram tread was a nice shift on Altra’s part, and did well transitioning from surface to surface.The straw that broke the camels back with this shoe was that the tread came unglued middle of a very critical race for me. So much so, that I had to stop, and rip it off the shoe to continue. There was about 4 inches of tread flapping around between the shoe and the ground.I am hoping that Altra gets their act together on a few things, mostly to include QC and shifting back to their roots in actual foot shaped shoes.Would not recommend the Olympus for the time being, especially for the price.

The fit, traction, and running performance are phenomenal, but I have never owned a shoe that fell apart more quickly. I wear these shoes around the house and for ~10 miles a week of trail running.In the first month: a lug fell off, the heel strap broke, much of the upper started to fray. Now, 4 months in: the outsole and midsole are heavily worn, and the upper looks ancient and is developing holes in multiple places. At month 3, a friend commented that I should replace my "beat-up old shoes"!At this rate, the shoes basically cost $1/mile - ridiculously bad value. I am now in the market for a new pair for when these fail outright, but I can't bring myself to buy another pair of Altras until the quality of materials and testing are improved.Frankly, this seems ... MoreThe fit, traction, and running performance are phenomenal, but I have never owned a shoe that fell apart more quickly.

Either should result in the responsible party losing their job or significant job responsibility, and with a replacement spearheading an epic push to improve durability and salvage the brand reputation before the next generation launches.

I have about 65 miles on the shoes and wanted to share some feedback. First the good stuff. The material on the inside of the shoe's collar appears to be more durable than the previous version and the heel lockdown is also better than the previous version. Unfortunately, that's all I have for positive features as I have run into a number of issues with version 5.First, the shoe has smaller volume than the previous version. Not sure if this is a sizing issue or if the shoe is truly narrower or shallower than the previous version. Going up a half size might help that. The midsole feels much less plush than version 4.

Hard to understand how a $200 shoe does not include functional laces.I tried to exchange them for a half size larger from the retailer I purchased them from. Because I was outside the 30 day purchase period they would not help me and advised me to contact Altra. I contacted Altra and the advised me to contact the retailer I purchased them from. Looks like I am stuck.Very disappointed in these quality control issues for such a premium shoe. I liked version 4 but will definitely think twice before shelling out this kind of cash on another Altra.

I have tried multiple different brands of trail running shoes that I have used for running, hiking, and through hiking/camping and these are my new favorites.These immediately felt comfortable out of the box. They have such a soft foot-bed feel that when you walk you just feel happy! But here is the best part, somehow Altra has pulled off some sort of magic trick where the shoes feel super cushioned and firm and supportive at the same time!I was a little worried at first taking these trail running with the stack height of the soles. I thought that I would feel to "removed" from the trail and would not feel the trail and the terrain nuances. But to my surprise that was not the case. I felt very stable and confident on all trail surfaces that I encountered.The ... MoreI have tried multiple different brands of trail running shoes that I have used for running, hiking, and through hiking/camping and these are my new favorites.These immediately felt comfortable out of the box.

I thought that I would feel to "removed" from the trail and would not feel the trail and the terrain nuances. But to my surprise that was not the case. I felt very stable and confident on all trail surfaces that I encountered.The sole is grippy in all the right ways. At first I thought that it might not be with some of the foam sole sharing the space with the grippy Vibram sole, but it has so far been great.Some other reviews that I read had me a little nervous on the laces length possibly being too short. I did not find this to be the case. So either my lacing style is different or Altra has fixed this issue.So, would I recommend this shoe? Absolutely! My only hesitation in recommending this shoe to everyone would be the price. Is this shoe a premium shoe? Yes. Is it worth the price? Maybe.
I reviewed this shoe when I first bought it roughly 5 months ago and was pleased to see a Vibram sole and more support compared to the Lone Peak 5 I have been wearing prior to this. I have enjoyed wearing the Olympus since then it has been supportive and comfortable. The issue I had with the lenght/flat toe box and my second toe hitting the front didn't end up being an issue.What has been a big problem is the durability of these shoes. There are now numerous holes all over the linking of the shoes and also most worryingly the Vibram grip is separating from the midsole. I had paid more for a premium shoe and would expect at least a year before this kind of wear and tear would start to appear. I am not running in these just walking casually pushing a pram around our ... MoreI reviewed this shoe when I first bought it roughly 5 months ago and was pleased to see a Vibram sole and more support compared to the Lone Peak 5 I have been wearing prior to this.

I am not running in these just walking casually pushing a pram around our local park etc so not putting high demands on them. It is disappointing enough to make me want to look at a different brand as my Lone Peak's soles wore down ridiculously quickly. It is a shame as I am mostly enjoying the zero drop/cushion experience and the extra room for the toes that this platform provides. However for the money I need something that will last longer than this. I hope you are listening Altra?!!!
I have been running (and hiking) in Altra trail runners now for several years, primarily Lone Peaks, but also Timp and Superior models. After a toe injury I decided to try the new Olympus 5s for their thicker sole and support, but I have been quite disappointed. I bought size 9.5 and 10s to try to see if fit was the issue but neither one worked for me, especially compared to my other Altras. For some background, I run 95%+ trail with lots of hills and, until recently, average mileage between 8-13+ miles or so. Now re-training, I'm at around 4-5 miles, still on trails.Here is my main problem: if the laces are comfortably tight then I have significant slippage, mainly in the heel, but if I tighten them more to mitigate the slipping then the shoes are quite painful. ... MoreI have been running (and hiking) in Altra trail runners now for several years, primarily Lone Peaks, but also Timp and Superior models.

Now re-training, I'm at around 4-5 miles, still on trails.Here is my main problem: if the laces are comfortably tight then I have significant slippage, mainly in the heel, but if I tighten them more to mitigate the slipping then the shoes are quite painful. While the toe box space remains fine, the mid-foot becomes so uncomfortably tight that it causes lasting pain even after taking the shoes off. I thought they may need to break in so I've tried to give them a fair shake, but after less than 40 miles of running plus some hikes they should have been worn in enough by now if that was the problem. Strangely enough the 9.5s (which is my usual size in Lone Peak & Superior) slip more than the 10s did. The 10s were just too large with extra space in the front, however they still had the same mid-foot tightness problem. With both sizes I even tried different lacing methods to fix the issue. Not much changed. It just seems the mid-foot is too narrow and so far I've never need a "wide" size in any of my shoes.A related problem is the lace "bite." The upper part of the tongue has inadequate padding. You can really feel the pressure from the laces, especially if you use the "extra" lace holes (which I need to on these to try to lock in the heel as much as I can.) And of course tightening these down only makes the "bite" worse.I wish I could compare these to prior Olympus models (the 4 seems to be well-liked). I still have my Lone Peak 6s (size 9.5) with low miles and they fit great, especially compared to these.For some positives, I did find that the toe box still had ample room consistent with my other Altras and they did provide the extra support I was looking for. And at least there are a couple of decent colorways in the Olympus 5.(Side note: what is with the Altra colorways in all the new models? Who is deciding that these are the colors people want? Most of them are terrible.)Finally, I haven't really had them long enough to adequately test the durability issues that others mention but I can see how they wouldn't hold up for very long. Unfortunately Altra has always been know for their durability anyway. However my Lone Peak 5s lasted the longest of any of my Altras.
If you liked the Olympus 4, you'll like the 5...I think the 5 upper is a bit nicer and it maybe even looks a bit better as well, and the attempt at mid and heel lock down is appreciated, even though the weight gain wasn't. AND I am in the camp of hating that minimal tongue or whatever you want to call it...in a beefy shoe like that, what is this vain attempt at thinning in the tongue? It's a wide shoe and needs a bit more tongue padding to make it more versatile for different fits and lace tightness for people. Seriously, that tongue is ridiculous on the Olympus. But nonetheless I warmed eventually to the 4 and have found my lacing happy place, and even got multiple pairs, and the 5 is a solid next step if just a partial and heavier one while keeping tongue ... MoreIf you liked the Olympus 4, you'll like the 5...I think the 5 upper is a bit nicer and it maybe even looks a bit better as well, and the attempt at mid and heel lock down is appreciated, even though the weight gain wasn't.

I know people have mentioned the laces, and they are shortish...I swap out all my shoes with elastic lock laces, so it doesn't really matter to me, but yes the 5s laces are on the short side...so were the mid boots laces (which I also replaced with boot length lock laces). All told, the Olympus 4 and 5 versions got me back to multiple pairs of Olympus in my closet...the last time that was true was with the 2.0...yes that long ago! I think these new ones fit more 'neutral' compared to some of the Olympus versions, which is important to this supinator, plus they are built better and look better. I am fairly sensitive to pronation control shoes and these Olympus are ok in that regard...looking at the backs of them and that classic Olympus build up of midsole stuff on the medial heel freaks me out, but wearing them doesn't feel that drastic thankfully. But if you're a supinator you will want to test drive that for yourself as that can be a wonky feeling, in a trail shoe especially.Happy trails everyone..
I hate that these feel so much inferior to my mostly great experiences in the 4s. I've had 5 pairs of the 4s, which get about 450 miles each before the seams in the inner sides rip, which is when I retire them. The 5s look initially to have better materials on the upper and possibly worked to address the common rips in the sides, but only time will tell. But each pair of 4s, right out of the box, has felt great on my feet with no break-in required.The 5s, however, have a different feel on my feet. I've only been on two 12-mile outings in these on the same rocky and rooty trails I'm always on. First thing I noticed were the shorter laces. I could barely tie a single knot, let alone a double knot. I first thought this might not be shorter laces, but the more padded ... MoreI hate that these feel so much inferior to my mostly great experiences in the 4s.

I could barely tie a single knot, let alone a double knot. I first thought this might not be shorter laces, but the more padded tongue and/or different arrangement of eyelets, but I took the laces out of both and they are a good 8" shorter! Never have my 4s come untied, but twice in my first run, I found myself stopping to tie them back - incredibly annoying. And just to get the single knot, I had to pull the laces tight throughout, which made for a uncomfortable fit on the tops of my feet.In both outings, I experienced foot pain in my outer arches that was never present in my 4s.I also noticed tonight in doing this review that the 2nd and 4th row of tread under the toes are starting to peel back, which looks like is common based on some other reviews. Not sure if this is just a glue issue or what, but this never happened in my 4s, and to be happening after less than 25 miles is not great. I'm sure Altra will fix this by replacing my shoes via warranty claim, but for $180 a shoe with a lifespan of 4-500 miles, we should expect a better product.I'll be looking to stock up on 4s and either wait for the next model or possibly try the Mont Blancs. I absolutely LOVED the 4s and felt like I finally found my go-to trail shoe for hiking and trail running. Definitely not ready to give up on Altras by any means, but the experience so far with the 5s has been poor.
I've had many pairs of this shoe and each one tears in the same spots on the upper near the ball of the foot. I've heard others have had this problem. Attempted to get a replacement pair because the shoe had less than 160 miles on it and within the warranty mileage and the said it was "normal wear and tear" and not a defect. It is clearly a defect if a shoe's upper tears on different generations of the shoe repeatedly with normal running over less than 160 mile period. This is the first time I've tried to get a replacement because it has become so frustrating and expensive and I am extremely displeased with customer service. I will be on the lookout for a high cushioned, wide forefoot, zero drop shoe from other companies than Altra from hear on out because I'm so ... MoreI've had many pairs of this shoe and each one tears in the same spots on the upper near the ball of the foot.

Its disappointing because I used to like their shoes quite a bit. I am starting to suspect that they don't feel a need to take care of their customers because there isn't enough competition in the zero drop shoe industry. Hopefully this will change soon. More competition with Altra should force them to take care of their customers if customers had other options than Altra's poorly designed shoes.
I wanted to step up a little stability and support for hikes. I wear Lone Peaks near daily and they are the go to versatility shoe for broad spectrum adventure land, sea, and no so much air anymore.Olympus has hit the nail on the head for stability and support without adding clunky and disconnected from the earth footwear.The new tongue design does not present any problems. The high heel and flexibility of the shoe make for a perfect lock in without having to over tighten.Rigid in the exact places it's needed to maintain life of the shoe and way ultra light material that maintains a comforting level of protection.I love Altra shoes!IMHO. Folks who's Altra don't fit proper are very much on them. Your feet will shape to what you put them in (and Altra knows ... MoreI wanted to step up a little stability and support for hikes.

Your feet will shape to what you put them in (and Altra knows this) so if you put them in other footwear or even different figment Altra shoes then your feet will not be shaped for Altras. It's all (mostly at least) or nothing with your feet. You either care or you don't (to do the research and survey shoes until you find your brand and fit).My feet fit perfectly to Altra shoes and I am grateful for it.Them Torin 5 tongues were so bad though.
