One of the most anticipated trail running shoes of the season is already here. We speak, as it could not be otherwise, of Altra, which has not wanted to stay behind and has just presented the Altra Olympus 6

And these Altra Olympus 6 are one of the most complete trail shoes of the company. This is the most emblematic model of maximum cushioning for mountain of Altra. A model that comes with changes that will erect it as a much more technical, cushioned, comfortable and safe shoe.

Main characteristics and new features of the Altra Olympus 6

The Olympus 6 are trail running shoes from Altra designed for your day to day. A perfect model to cover all kinds of needs right out from the very door of the house. We are talking about a model of great versatility, support and comfort, a combination that makes it ideal for all types of training and long distance competitions.

It is a very complete maximalist model, with an improved structure compared to its predecessors, the Altra Olympus 5. The oversized heel will give the model greater stability, while its thick compression-molded EVA midsole will continue to provide the necessary comfort to maintain a good running dynamic for many kilometers without neglecting stability.

With high profiles (33 millimeters in a 0 drop model), this is a training and competition model that we expect to be slightly heavier than its predecessors, to give them more structure and safety. A variation that will not affect its response and will derive from the improved support and stability. What will not be touched will be the outsole, which will appear with the already famous Vibram Megagrip compound, for exemplary traction on all types of terrain.

We are talking about a model of great support and stability, which together with the high degree of comfort it provides will be perfect for runners of even more than 90 kilos who are looking for a highly responsive, stable and safe model.

Its maximalist profile in what is clearly a 0 drop platform will stand out for its cushioning, and the Vibram compound of the outsole will provide the perfect traction even on greasy terrain thanks to its multidirectional tread pattern. All this in a model weighing only 345 grams, ideal for runners looking for lightness without losing efficiency.

Recommended distances for the Altra Olympus 6

In short, we are talking about a trail running model for men and women that will become a bastion within the long distance. A greatly cushioned model perfect for completing training sessions or competitions of even more than 80 kilometers.

A model with exceptional features that reinvents itself while maintaining an identifiable philosophy that makes it the perfect model for runners looking for comfort and safety in equal parts.
