Olympus 6 Trail Running Shoes
Olympus 6 Trail Running Shoes
Go longer with less pounding. Olympus 6 Trail Running Shoes deliver Altra’s balanced zero-drop ride on a 33 mm / 33 mm max-cushion platform and a roomy FootShape™ forefoot for natural toe splay. Underneath, a Vibram® Megagrip outsole and an updated lug layout keep you confident from hardpack to wet slab—perfect for ultra-distance runs and all-day hikes.
Why Olympus 6 excels off-road
- Zero-drop geometry: heel and forefoot sit level for a naturally balanced stance on uneven trail.1
- Max cushion, 33 mm stack: plush, shock-absorbing midsole to smooth rocky descents and long days.1
- Vibram® Megagrip rubber: proven wet/dry traction with durable trail bite.1
- Deeper, reworked lugs: ~3.5 mm multi-direction tread increases grip vs. prior version.2
- FootShape™ Original Fit: Altra’s roomiest toe box for comfort on descents and when feet swell.1
- GaiterTrap™ ready: built-in attachment points to keep debris out (gaiters sold separately).1
- APMA Accepted: recognized by podiatrists for promoting good foot health.1
Fit & sizing
True to size for most trail runners and hikers. If you wear thick socks or want extra downhill room, consider 1/2 size up. Expect a secure heel/midfoot with generous forefoot space.
- Support: neutral with sidewalls for guidance (not motion-control)
- Toe box: FootShape™ Original (roomiest)
- Drop/Stack: 0 mm drop; ~33/33 mm stack1
Ride & terrain
- Everyday trails: gravel, forest singletrack, rocky ridgelines.
- Ultra & thru-hike comfort: max cushion stays lively for big mileage days.3
- Mixed conditions: Megagrip + multi-lug outsole grips wet and dry; sheds light mud.
Materials & construction
- Upper: durable, breathable engineered mesh with plush Achilles pillows.1
- Midsole: compression-molded EVA tuned for lasting comfort.1
- Outsole: Vibram® Megagrip rubber with updated multi-direction lugs.1,2
- Rock plate: none—protection comes from stack height and outsole design.1
Care
- Remove insoles and air-dry after wet runs; avoid heat sources that can deform foam and rubber.
- Brush off dirt; spot clean with mild soap and water. Do not machine dry.
- Rotate pairs during high-mileage weeks to extend midsole life.
