I'm an Altra fan, but these are heaven sent!
I’ve been wearing the Altra Olympus 6 for Men for my recent hikes and trail runs, and they’ve quickly become my favorite trail shoes. I used to rock the Hoka Stinsons, but the soles didn’t hold up well on tougher hikes like the Grand Canyon or slick rock trails. So, I decided to try the Altra Olympus 6 for Men, and I’ve been really happy with the switch. The Altra Olympus 6 for Men has those grippy Vibram soles, which have been perfect for keeping traction on rough terrain. They’ve got that same plush cushioning I liked in the Hokas, but they feel way more durable. The one thing to keep in mind is that they run about half a size smaller compared to the Hokas, so I had to send back my first pair to get the right size. Once I broke them in, especially around the heel, they felt amazing. I’m planning on wearing my Altra Olympus 6 for Men for a rim-to-rim hike later this month, and I’m confident they’ll hold up great. The comfort and grip are exactly what I need for long distances. They’re a bit heavier than previous models, but it seems like that added durability will pay off in the long run. I’d recommend sizing up a bit, especially if you’re feeling cramped around the heel collar. All in all, the Altra Olympus 6 for Men has become my go-to shoe for long trail runs and hikes. The cushioning is cloud-like, and the shoe’s structure provides great protection. Definitely a win for me!
