Maximum Cushion. Zero Drop. Ultra Distance Comfort.
The Altra Olympus 6 is built for runners who prioritise protection, grip and natural foot movement over big miles and long days on trail. With max cushioning, Vibram® Megagrip traction and Altra’s Original FootShape™ fit, this is a go-to shoe for ultras, mountain adventures and all-day comfort.
A high-stack compression-moulded EVA midsole (approx. 33mm) delivers serious underfoot protection. Ideal for ultra training blocks, back-to-back long runs and race day comfort.
Altra’s 0mm heel-to-toe drop encourages a natural gait and midfoot strike, promoting stable, balanced mechanics across technical terrain.
Trusted Vibram rubber provides reliable traction on wet rock, loose gravel and mixed trail surfaces — particularly reassuring over long mountain routes.
A roomy toe box allows natural toe splay, helping reduce pressure points and foot fatigue over extended distances.
Durable engineered mesh upper, reinforced overlays and GaiterTrap™ compatibility make this a serious option for ultra and mountain runners.
