FAQs
Are the Altra Olympus 7 shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for breathability and comfort; they are not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While the Olympus 7 is primarily a hiking shoe, its versatile design allows for use on light, mixed-terrain paths including occasional road segments.
How should I clean my Olympus 7s?
Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat.
What is the best way to determine my size?
We recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you plan to hike in to account for proper volume.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Altra is known for a spacious, foot-shaped toe box, which is generally very accommodating for wider foot profiles.
How often should I replace these hiking shoes?
Depending on usage frequency and terrain, most hikers replace their footwear every 300 to 500 miles to maintain optimal support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few wears
Allow for a gradual break-in period, wearing them for shorter distances before moving to full-day hikes.
Accumulated mud affecting grip
Use a stiff brush or a damp cloth to clear debris from the outsole lugs between hikes.
Laces coming undone on the trail
Use a double knot or a secure hiker's knot to maintain consistent tension throughout your activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Altra Olympus 7, ensure you select the correct size, as the brand's fit is distinct compared to traditional footwear. When taking them out of the box, inspect the lacing to ensure a secure but non-constricting fit across the midfoot. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after each hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the materials. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
