Altra Men's Olympus 7

Altra Men's Olympus 7

The Altra Men's Olympus 7 is a max cushion trail shoe for ultra runners and all day hikers who want plush comfort without losing traction on technical ground. Its updated EGO MAX foam is 15% lighter and 10% softer than before, paired with a Vibram Megagrip outsole.

Why We Carry It

It's the max cushion trail shoe we recommend for ultra runners and long distance hikers who want stack height plus Altra's zero drop and wide toe box.

Highlights

• EGO MAX midsole: 33mm of lighter, softer foam to keep legs fresher on long efforts.
• Vibram Megagrip with TractionLug: An adaptive lug pattern that grips on wet and dry ground.
• Zero drop: A level platform that promotes a natural foot strike.
• Original FootShape toe box: Altra's roomiest shape, with space for toes to splay as feet swell.
• Molded TPU overlays: New for this version, adding protection and durability at high wear zones.
• Plusher tongue and collar: More comfort and a secure fit through long days.
• Engineered mesh upper: Light and breathable for warm days.
