Tear resistant uppers survive thorny underbrush
The midsole is composed of a reliable CMEVA foam with a 0mm offset, providing predictable cushioning for confidence, step after countless step. The accommodating engineered mesh upper boasts improved breathability and sports a more robust toe cap and generous overlays for durability and structure.
Not limited to utilitarian updates, the step-in comfort is elevated with a refined tongue and a premium Achilles pillow. Last and certainly not least, the trustworthy Vibram Megagrip outsole compound sets the standard for grip on a variety of trail surfaces. With slightly modified lug shapes and placement, the outsole yields improved durability and sure-footed confidence.
As a gold-standard for just how inherently stable a max cushioned trail shoe can be, the Altra Olympus 6 will help you make good on their motto to "stay out there" day and night for an ultra-long time.
