FAQs

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Altra Olympus 6?

The Olympus 6 features a zero drop (0 mm) platform designed to promote natural alignment.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Altra signature FootShape toe box is specifically designed to accommodate a natural toe splay, which works well for wider foot shapes.

Can I use these shoes for hiking?

Absolutely. The Vibram Megagrip outsole and high levels of cushioning make them an excellent choice for technical hiking and trail running.

How should I clean my Altra trainers?

Clean them by hand using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Air dry them in the shade.

Does the Olympus 6 come in different widths?

Altra designs their shoes with a spacious fit as standard, but please refer to our sizing charts for the specific width profiles of our various models.

Troubleshooting

Feeling calf tightness or soreness

This is common when transitioning to zero-drop shoes; incorporate calf stretches into your routine and reduce mileage until your muscles adapt.

Debris entering the shoe

Consider using an external trail gaiter compatible with your shoe size to prevent stones and dirt from entering the collar.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on technical surfaces provided by Vibram Megagrip
  • Spacious toe box allows for natural foot splay
  • Maximum cushioning effectively dampens impact on long-distance runs
  • Natural alignment encouraged by the zero drop geometry

Cons

  • Zero drop platform requires an adaptation period for some runners
  • Maximum stack height can feel less agile on extremely technical scramble sections
  • Limited to users preferring a wide-toe-box fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Olympus 6, it is recommended to transition slowly to the zero-drop platform if you are currently using traditional heeled shoes. Start with shorter, low-intensity runs before increasing distance to allow your lower leg muscles to adjust. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to remove mud after each use. Remove the insoles to let them air dry separately in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
