Customer Reviews Altra Olympus 6

Received these on July 18th, 2024 and have been using them regularly since, fit very well and true to size, consistent with other Altra shoes I've used. I run around 15 trail miles a week in these and other shoes, did a few 20ish mile backpacks and an 80 miler in these shoes. Just like the Olympus 5 design, the strips of Vibram are delaminating from the sole in under 2 months of what, in my opinion, has been moderate use. Will not be warrantying these this time, assume it's a consistent flaw again. Why not just use a full covering of Vibram for the sole?? All of the extra padding in the heel rubs horribly if you have repeated movement in the ankle outside of the neutral position (not great for a trail running shoe). Have never had this experience in a half dozen Altra shoes before.

The padding in the heel is awful, it's like it was an after thought after completing the shoe. Also you can't use any aftermarket insoles because of that padding, because it places your heel in a spot that feels like it's slipping. Which will 100% give you a blister. worst iteration of the Olympus, go back to the Olympus 4 design.
