How do I clean my Olympus 7?

Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Altra FootShape toe box is specifically designed to accommodate a wider foot shape and allow for natural toe splay.
Can I use custom insoles in these shoes?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and compatible with most aftermarket orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling calf soreness after initial use
This is common when transitioning to zero-drop footwear; shorten your hikes and gradually increase mileage as your muscles adapt.

Consider using compatible trail gaiters that attach to the shoe's built-in attachment points.
