Summary
The Altra Olympus 5 is a trail running shoe designed to provide maximum cushioning and support. It is part of Altra's lineup of zero-drop running shoes, which are known for their signature FootShape toe boxes and balanced cushioning, promoting natural foot positioning. The Olympus 5 stands out within the Altra collection for its high stack height, making it one of the most cushioned shoes offered by the brand, ideal for long-distance trail runners looking for comfort and protection on varied terrains. Compared to other Altra models, the Olympus 5 offers more underfoot protection than lighter options like the Superior or Lone Peak and is better suited for longer trails where durability and cushioning are prioritized over speed.
