"The Altra Olympus 275 ($195) is a maximally cushioned, zero-drop trail shoe built for long days, technical terrain, and conditions where confidence and protection matter. It fits easily into a regular rotation of shoes because it handles almost anything. The cushioning is soft and protective, the traction is outstanding in wet and muddy environments, and the Matryx upper provides one of the most secure and durable fits Altra has offered in years."
"I reach for the Olympus 275 on days when I need a locked-in upper, reliable traction, and cushioning that saves my legs without losing all ground feel. It has become a go-to for West Virginia spring and summer conditions when heat, humidity, and high stream crossings are the norm. It drains well and performs consistently whether the trail is dry, technical, or slick with mud. I found that the shoe didn't need a break-in period and was comfortable right out of the box."
"The Altra Olympus 275 upper is a standout feature. It fits true to size, and has the brand's FootShape toebox, which is wider than the average shoe and provides plenty of space for the toes. The fit is excellent for runners with wider feet or those who want their toes to splay naturally. The Matryx upper does a remarkable job of forming to the foot without feeling loose or sloppy."
The Altra Olympus 275 is a maximally cushioned, zero-drop trail shoe with a high 33-millimeter stack and a surprisingly stable ride. The shoe weighs 11.1 ounces (314 grams) for a U.S. men's 9 and delivers soft, protective cushioning that preserves some ground feel while reducing fatigue on long runs. The Matryx upper provides a secure, durable fit and the FootShape toebox gives ample room for toe splay. Outstanding wet and muddy traction, excellent drainage, and immediate out-of-the-box comfort make the shoe reliable across mixed and technical terrain.
