Conquer Long Miles with Altra Olympus Running Shoes

Olympus is our max-cushion family of men’s and women’s trail running shoes, perfect for long distances and scrambles, roots, branches, mud, and boulders. These plush and grippy trail shoes bring Zero-to-Low Drop stability for comfort and dependability on long, technical runs and hikes. 

With these long distance trail running shoes, you get the benefits of our roomy toe box and natural alignment design, which helps you maintain your natural stride. Thanks to extra cushion underfoot and a super-tough outsole, your feet also get a boost of protection and comfort.

Rugged Traction Meets FootShape™ Comfort

Our Olympus line of max cushion shoes will reduce impact on your feet and knees, keeping you comfortable longer into the day when the extra miles get toughest. With our roomy FootShape™ toe box (note: which is different from wide shoes), you’ll stay comfortable on difficult terrain. If you take long runs on tough trails up or down steep inclines, over all kinds of rocks, branches, and boulders, the Olympus family is for you.

A more stable shoe can help prevent nasty falls, and your feet will thank you too. A wider toe box lets your feet spread out the way that they were meant to. No scrunched toes means more comfort. That can mean more consistency and endurance mile after mile.
