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.
