Second pair of Altra shoes. They are the real deal. Backcountry had them at our door in a flash.

Best shoes ever!!!!

Best shoes I've ever bought. I have such a hard time finding shoes for my wide feet. I also have high arches & tendinitis in my Achilles. I'm a rescue tech/first responder I highly recommend these!

Love this product. Best fit ever.

I wear these every day. In the past I've had to size up because my feet are so wide, but the toe box on these are a game changer.

walked the Camino Frances. can last 800km / 500mi and more!

i walked the Camino Frances with these pair. started new with maybe 5mi of trial walking. then only used it for walking the Camino Frances. i think i can get another 100km + more out of it.

Strange Fit 2

I am raising my review to 5 stars. I liked the shoe well enough after breaking it in to buy another one, half a size larger, and that feels slightly too large. My knees appreciate the extra cushion.

Strange fit

I have 3 pairs of the Olympus 5 GTX high rise and love them. They fit perfectly. But the low rise is hard to get on and is too narrow, mainly at the bridge. Oddly though, they feel OK, tight at the bridge, loose on the rest of the foot, once I have walked a bit. I have worn them for 3 days all day, doing 10K steps per day on New York sidewalks and they feel OK once I get over the initial period

Short term comfort

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. But the price it too much for how long they last. I've had two pairs of these and they both squeak annoyingly loud. They both tear up very easy. They just fall apart in a couple months. But the waterproofing is great.

Great snow shoes

Awesome shoe. Have had multiple pairs of Olympus 4 and 5 w/o GORE-TEX. Took a bit to break it in compared to non GORE-TEX Olympus 5. Burly shoes. Good traction. Quite a few miles and looks and functions great. Great for winter hikes and walk daily to work. Fit is good but had to order 1/2 size larger.

Lack durability

Lugs separated from soles almost immediately, and repeatedly, on all my Olympus shoes. (4 pairs) Repaired with shoe glue, but then other lugs peeled off. Would be great if they lasted.
