FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Altra Olympus 6?
The primary benefit is its maximum cushioning, providing exceptional comfort and impact protection for long trail runs and varied terrains.
How does the grip perform on different surfaces?
The Vibram Megagrip outsole with an upgraded lug pattern offers reliable and strong traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet, dry, rocky, and muddy trails.
Is this shoe suitable for people with wide feet?
Yes, Altra shoes feature the Original FootShape Fit, which includes a roomy toe box designed to accommodate natural foot splay and provide comfort for a wider range of foot shapes.
What is the drop on the Altra Olympus 6?
The Altra Olympus 6 has a 0mm drop, meaning the heel and forefoot are at the same height, promoting a more natural foot strike.
How do I clean my Olympus 6 shoes?
Gently brush off dirt and use a damp cloth with cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What type of running is this shoe best for?
It is best suited for long-distance trail running, ultramarathons, hiking, and any activity where maximum cushioning and durable grip are desired.
How does the Olympus 6 differ from previous versions?
The Olympus 6 features an improved mesh upper for better breathability and an upgraded lug pattern on the Vibram Megagrip outsole for enhanced durability, stability, and traction, along with an Achilles pillow for improved step-in comfort.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. Vibram Megagrip is designed for excellent traction, but heavy buildup can affect performance. For very slick conditions, proceed with caution.
Feet feel too warm
While the mesh upper is breathable, individual heat perception varies. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If persistent, consider a less cushioned shoe for hotter conditions.
Shoe feels too soft or unstable on uneven ground
The high stack height provides maximum cushioning. If you prefer more ground feel or stability on extremely technical terrain, consider a shoe with a lower stack height and firmer midsole. Ensure laces are tied securely to maximize lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Altra Olympus 6 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit. The shoes feature a traditional lacing system for a secure lockdown.

Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or washing machines, as they can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them away from extreme temperatures will help maintain their performance and lifespan.
