Description

<p>The Altra Olympus 6 for women are massively cushioning ultra trail running shoes, which allow you to relax and block out bumps on the not-too-technical surface. On long-distance runs in particular, you benefit from the most consistent flow experience possible, where your feet don't give you any unpleasant feedback such as pressure points and the like. <p>The ingenious concept of the trail endurance shoe with its improved details achieves this extremely comfortable, natural feel on the basis of a stable, quite narrow and pleasantly padded heel section that positions your foot securely. The lacing in the midfoot area also allows for effective, very controllable adjustment without pressure points - the contoured tongue, which is very flat at the edges, makes an important contribution here. Maximum air flow and a smooth, sock-like fit are also guaranteed by the new engineered mesh. A protective toe cap and a wide toe box that allows your forefoot to develop freely is a must for ultra running shoes and is also implemented in the Olympus 6 in exemplary fashion. <p>However, the concept only becomes coherent in combination with the softly cushioning, midsole without a drop, which allows a natural flex despite its thickness of around 33 mm - the exact sole thickness varies with the size. The well-profiled Vibram® Megagrip outsole gives you plenty of traction and grip uphill and downhill so that you don't lose your grip even in slippery trail conditions. <p>The shoe is optimally compatible with Altra trail gaiters thanks to the GaiterTrap™</p>
