Product Information

Full details

The Altra Olympus Low GTX is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and waterproof hiking shoes. The key benefit is its waterproof Gore-Tex lining and durable leather upper, offering protection in various conditions. One thing to consider is that the fit tends to run small, so it's important to consider sizing accordingly. Key features include a zero-drop design for natural stride, a grippy Vibram Megagrip outsole, and a roomy toe box for enhanced comfort.

FAQs

How do I clean the Altra Olympus Low GTX?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the leather upper. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

Yes, they can be used for light trail running, but they are primarily designed for hiking and walking.

What is the difference between the Olympus Low GTX and the Olympus 6?

The Olympus Low GTX offers a lower-cut design and GORE-TEX waterproofing, while the Olympus 6 might have a different upper design or feature set, but both are designed for hiking and trail use.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Wear hiking socks that wick away moisture to keep your feet dry and comfortable. Consider socks made of merino wool or synthetic materials.

What is the zero-drop design?

Zero-drop means the heel and forefoot are at the same level, promoting a more natural foot strike and stride.

How should I store the shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid storing them in a damp environment.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

They are suitable for various terrains, including trails, rocky paths, and mixed surfaces.

Can I use these shoes in winter?

Yes, the GORE-TEX lining provides protection against snow and cold conditions, but ensure you pair them with appropriate socks for warmth.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Consider ordering a half size up or loosening the laces.

Water is getting inside the shoes.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX lining or wear and tear on the upper materials. Ensure the laces are properly tied and that water is not entering at the top of the shoe.

Loss of traction on wet surfaces.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove any mud or debris that may reduce grip.

Leather upper is cracking or drying out.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
