Shoe laces too short
Just bought men's Olympus 5, size 13. Shoes fit and feel great, but the shoe laces are too short! Customer service wasn't helpful. Replaced the 45" laces with 54" laces and problem solved.

The Sizing Has Changed
When the Olympus 5 was first released, I bought 3 pairs in size 13 and they felt fine. But now with the release of newer colors, a 13 is too small. Altra changed the sizing! I had to switch to size 14.

Does not lock my heel in at all
Standing still, these shoes feel great. But once you start walking or running, there is nothing that keeps my heel locked in the shoe, no matter how tight I tie them. The cushion that is meant for the back of the achilles is simply too low to where there is no pocket for the bottom of the heel to sit in place. This means that every time you step, your heel the back of your heel is coming in and out of the shoe, rubbing against the back. I don't know how anyone walks or runs in them. I do not have this problem with any of Altra's other shoes.

will never purchase again
Shoe came apart in less than 6 months from purchase date despite not being worn daily. Altra refused to honor the 1-year warranty citing it was not a defect although the mesh on the toe came apart. These shoes were only worn inside a school teaching phys ed. For a shoe at this price, better quality would be expected. Very disappointed that they do not stand behind the quality of their product and honor the warranty that they advertise. Will not be purchasing this brand in the future and will no longer recommend the brand to others.

Been searching for a shoe like this for years.
I have tried a couple dozen shoes over the last couple years after 2 major surgeries on foot/ankle I finally found this shoe. It is the perfect fit and support, with comfort and good wear. Been wearing almost daily for about month or so. I use it daily on a production/retail work floor and on uneven farm terrain. I will be purchasing another pair. Fantastic job Altra! Worth every penny...

Max Cushion
First fit test right out of the box, It feels like the Lone Peak had a huge Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings and even went back for seconds. So yeah the Olympus is a plump beast of a shoe! Even with all its girth the Olympus 5 is well designed with plenty of breathable protection up top, grip on the outsole and has enough cushion for the longest of runs. Plus you gotta love that it has the original roomy foot shape. Out on the trail Its a grippy, balanced ride that starts off stiff n sluggish but after a few miles it breaks in, softens up and becomes much more comfortable underfoot. I did notice the weight of the shoe at first but faded away once the very satisfying max cushion made my later mile just cruise by. Oddly the Olympus 5 actually feels incredible and comes to life the longer the run. I can see this being a great option for a 100 miler or slower 100k. One issue I had early on was some heel lift and couldn't get a snug fit with the pillowly heel collar. Once broken in you will get a locked in feel.

My favorite trail runners!
I'm a female and I have wide feet and need ample room in the toe box, these men's shoes provide all of the aforementioned while remaining comfortable and rugged for street and trail wear.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever warn
I am a large guy who supinates his feet and has an unbalanced gait. These shoes make me feel confident with each stride. The max cushion, strong grip, and wide toe box are perfect for me.

I would buy these shoes again!!
We bought these before going to Disney World. I had no foot pain the whole time I was there I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone with flat feet.
