Best.shoe.ever.

I bought these shoes after reading a write up about the Camino. The author said they were the best in his opinion. I have to agree! I didn't get one blister! Others in my group did. Wonderful shoes!

First Pair Of Altra

I purchased the original design and LOVE the feel. I have been buying other brands in mens to get the wider toe box. These are SO COMFORTABLE! I purchased my normal size in womens to try the fit and I can actually wiggle my toes all over! Cushioning is good not quite as good as Hokas but I will give up some of the cushioning to have this wonderful toe box. My only complaint for which they did lose a star, the color coral is not as Orange as it shows on the website and I've never had colors being off on other websites. It's pink orange... BLECH

I Would Buy This Product Again.

I'm on my feet at least 7 hours when I work. At times, my feet seems to slide down to the toe part of my shoes.

Sizing Is Off.

I love the cushion in this shoe but the toe box is too wide. I normally wear a 9.5 wide in other brands but my Olympus are one inch too long and too wide. I can't return them. I bought them from a local mountain shoe store. Really disappointed.

Wild Color, Great Price

I have been using Altra Olympus shoes for >5 years. I love the fit and feel of the shoes but wish they lasted longer. I usually only get ~250 miles out of a pair. The price was outstanding and they arrived promptly. The coral color is bright!

Best Shoes Ever Olympus 4

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. I have a knee injury, and these shoes have helped me be able to get back to hiking. I wear them hiking, and they are so comfortable that I started wearing them every day as a teacher as well. At work I'm on my feet most of the day, and these shoes are so well-cushioned that my feet do not hurt at the end of the day. The balanced cushioning with zero drop seems to help my knees quite a bit as shoes with an angle seem to affect my knee alignment. I love the width of the toe box, so my toes are not pinched. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel, and the heel is not too wide for me. I am so glad that Altra still makes this shoe in the wider Original Footshape Fit. I wish they had more shoes in the Original Footshape Fit. It seems like they are moving towards narrower fits in the other styles, which is something so many other brands already do. I feel like the Original Footshape Fit is what sets Altra apart in the first place. Please never stop making these! My only suggestion would be to standardize the width in all colors. I have this shoe in 3 colors. The coral and the blue were the same width and did not pinch at all, but the black shoes were narrower near my bunion. Thank you for designing these wonderful shoes!

Nice Cushion But Heel Too Wide.

Too wide only in heel otherwise I love them so far. If only I could go back in time I would of loaded up on the plush 4.5 Torins....I absolutely just love the fit and feel of them. They were my 1st pair of altras and are on their last leg but the most comfortable shoes I ever owned. Please bring back the torin 4.5 plush

Best Trail Shoe I've Ever Worn

I have very wide and hard to fit feet and these shoes are super comfortable and really help protect the bottoms of my feet from the rocks and roots on the trail.

Fit Is All Off

I was really excited about these. I have used lone peaks for years but walking in a city every day they weren't thick enough in the stack. But I also need something I can wear hiking on the weekends. Cue my excitement over a thick stack altra with a vibram sole! After reading reviews of the 4 vs the 5, I went with the 4 thinking they would be more true to the altra size I have been wearing for years. Out of the box though, they were noticeably small. I wear custom insoles for arch and heel support and my lone peaks accomodate them perfectly, but I couldn't even get them into this shoe. The shoe was way too narrow and turned weirdly between the midsole and the toe causing the insole to not lie flat. So I took my insoles out and tried the shoe by itself and immediately noticed my toe was right up against the front of the shoe. I am sad to be returning them, but they simply are not sized correctly.

I Would Wear Them Every Day

I work in a high school and cover a lot of ground and do a ton of stairs. These are the most comfortable shoes I have found in several years. If they weren't orange I would wear them everyday! Gotta admit, I love the orange!!

I Wouldn't Buy This Again

Sizing was great but the edge around the ankle dug into me creating a pain point.

Too Wide In Heel Area

Nice looking but the heel area is too wide for my foot
