I have a bunion and hammer toe and this is the only sneaker that truly feels comfortable.

I need a wide toe-box and narrow heel - bunions, arthritis, plantar fasciitis. This is the first shoe I've tried that hasn't caused me pain when walking/hiking. They are much more supportive than other Altra & Topo shoes which I wear around the house.

Great support; cloud-like but still stable. The only tweak I'd make is the edge of the tongue. It's thin and will scrape against your skin if you're wearing no-show socks.

Fit a half size big. I’m usually a 10.5 in most brands, this model I needed a 10. Very comfortable. Not sure how they will hold up. A little pricey for what you get.

I changed from the Lone Peaks to the Olympus 50 miles into my AT thru hike. Can you say game changer. About to Summit Katahdin, and on my 3rd pair of shoes and these last ones still look like new. They never fell apart, I just wore the rubber off the bottom. Never had a blister. Great feel on the trail right out of the box. Will be purchasing more.

I have long skinny feet. U boats as my hubs calls them. I would appreciate a size 13 or at least a 12.5
I like fun colors too much to go to a men's size.

The Olympus 4 felt great right out of the box and onto my feet! I appreciate the wide toe box (and I have narrow feet), the max cushioning, grippy tread for trails, the overall look and everything else about this shoe. My only wish is that the tongue were more padded.

The size was what I expected since this is my second pair of the same style. I love the round toe box but it is almost too wide for me and I have a wide foot and high instep. The comfort can't be beat on this pair, though. I remove the insole and use custom orthotics so I can't say anything about the arch support.

This is my 5th pair of Olympus shoes and the design gets better with each release. Thanks!

Shoe runs a bit small in length so bought a half size larger than my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly.
Toe box is quite wide so they look kinda dorky but the comfort is unmatched. Happy with the purchase.

I have to have the maximum cushion and these shoes deliver! I stand in the same place for hours at a time and my feet really need this cushion! I've tried a few of the other models but this one is my favorite!

We hike 8-10 miles a day preparing for walking the Camino in Spain. We vary the surfaces, and this shoe handles it all. Of the three pairs of shoes I bought to try, this will be the one I take. (No surprise; I walked the Camino Francs and the Portuguese Camino in Altras also!)

I'm a big fan of Altra running shoes for long distance hiking and these are by far my favorite! I always buy them one 1/2 size BIGGER than my regular shoe size and they work great. The Vibram soles are a fantastic upgrade to the regular Altra soles for hiking on granite! They feel like walking on marshmallows and I didn't even take them off after a long hike!

I bought the Olympus 4 for more stability and cushion during my trail runs. I wore them for a 50K trail race and immediately loved the shoe. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone in need of cushion, stability and support.

I have a neuroma in one foot, and these are the only shoes I've found that I can hike 10 miles in and not have any pain in my foot. Other hiking boots are so uncomfortable that I can't go any further than 2 miles without feeling crippled. I LOVE my Altras!

Love these shoes. They provide just the right balance of comfort and support. I particularly appreciate the “foot-shaped” design.

LOVE the comfort these shoes provide. Super cushiony. They are like walking on a cloud. I have not hiked in them yet, but I am looking forward to it. Not a fan of the 'look' of the Olympus, or any Altra shoe really, but the comfort they provide overwhelmingly outweighs the appearance.

My walking shoe. Really like the thicker insole. An earlier model was 2 compared to this 4. I had stress fractures in one foot. Hopefully the thicker insole makes the difference.
