Altra

Olympus 6 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Engineered Mesh is a specialized fabric used in the upper part of the Olympus 6 Trail Running Shoe. It is designed to be both strong and breathable, allowing for excellent airflow while providing support and durability. This means your feet stay cool and comfortable during long runs, enhancing your overall performance.

Vibram Megagrip is a high-performance rubber outsole that offers exceptional traction on both wet and dry surfaces. This is crucial for trail running, where you may encounter slippery rocks, muddy paths, or uneven ground. With Vibram Megagrip, you can run confidently, knowing that your shoes will help prevent slipping and provide stability on various terrains.

The Original Footshape Fit is a unique design feature by Altra that provides a wider toe box, allowing your toes to spread out naturally. This design enhances comfort and stability, especially during long runs, by accommodating the natural shape of your foot. If you value comfort and want to avoid pinching or discomfort, this feature is essential.

Compression-Molded EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight foam material used in the midsole of the Olympus 6. The compression-molding process shapes the foam under high pressure, resulting in a cushioned midsole that absorbs shock effectively. This means you’ll experience less impact on your joints during runs, leading to a more comfortable experience overall.

Max Stack refers to the significant amount of cushioning material in the shoe's midsole, specifically EVA foam. A shoe with a Max Stack design provides maximum comfort and shock absorption, making it ideal for long-distance trail running. If you’re looking for a shoe that can handle extended runs while keeping your feet comfortable, the Olympus 6 is a great choice.

The combination of Engineered Mesh for breathability, Vibram Megagrip for traction, Original Footshape Fit for comfort, Compression-Molded EVA for cushioning, and Max Stack for shock absorption creates a shoe that is specifically designed for trail running. Together, these features ensure that you have a comfortable, stable, and high-performing experience on various terrains, allowing you to focus on your run without distractions.
