Description

<p>The Altra Olympus 5 for women are massively cushioning ultra trail running shoes that allow you to relax and block out bumps on a not too technical surface. Especially on the long haul, you benefit from the most constant flow experience possible, where your feet don't give you any unpleasant feedback like pressure points and the like.</p><p>The ingenious concept of the trail endurance running shoe, improved in details, achieves this extremely comfortable, natural feeling on the basis of a stable, quite narrow and pleasantly padded heel section that positions your foot securely. In the midfoot area, too, the lacing allows for an effective, very controllable adjustment without pressure points - the contoured tongue, which runs out completely flat at the edges, makes an important contribution here. Maximum air flow and a supple, sock-like fit is also ensured by the new Engineered Mesh. A protective toe cap and a wide toe box that allows your forefoot to develop freely are mandatory for ultra running shoes and are also implemented in exemplary fashion in the Olympus 5 with a women's-specific fit.</p><p>However, the concept only becomes coherent in conjunction with the softly cushioning, powerful midsole without a drop, which allows a natural flex despite its thickness of about 33 mm - the exact sole thickness varies with the size. So that you do not immediately lose your grip in slippery trail conditions, the well-profiled Vibram® Megagrip outsole gives you plenty of traction and grip uphill and downhill.</p><p>The shoe is optimally compatible with Altra trail gaiters thanks to GaiterTrap™.</p>
