Altra Olympus 6 First Look

The Altra Olympus 6 is here! After picking up a pair and getting a few miles in them, I thought I would put together a video going over the updates, fit and a comparison to the Olympus 5. I also briefly mention the Olympus 4, Timp 5, Lone Peak 6 & 8 in the video. Check out the links below if interested in any of those shoes as well. I'll post a follow up video on this channel after I get more mileage on the Olympus 6. Happy trails!

Been waiting for a review about this! Yahoo!!

I just got a pair about 3 days ago and agree with your initial assessment on the heel collar. It sits really low but after wearing them daily for the past 3 days it seems to have broken in and they feel really secure on my heel. The foam is softened quite a bit and overall they're very comfortable. In terms of sizing, I did have to go up to an 11 from my usual 10.5. I think I would prefer The timp due to feeling a bit more nimble but these are going to feel pretty amazing after a long day on a rocky Trail. I did have durability issues with the 5s sole peeling off but I don't foresee that being an issue with these. Great review! Thanks for taking the time to put it together

The size is still off in my case. I usually wear 10 for altras but for Olympus 6 even 10.5 felt tight in the front during descending. Had to return the pair. Maybe the heel padding is too aggressive.

Looking at when you showed the insole, makes ya wonder: are they really as wide as they advertise.

In the front yes, not so in the middle

Color options are very poor. Great shoe.
