ALTRA Men's AL0A7R6R Olympus 5 Low GTX Trail Running Shoe

hiking

Shoes are not for serious hiking
I bought these for a 100 mile hike in the Sierras.

Five blisters from foot movement inside the shoes, two black toenails because the ankle could not be locked in securely, stone bruises through a too-soft sole, and to top it off, the treads on the soles started peeling off (fortunately on the last day of the hike - unfortunately it was also when I was climbing Half Dome).

By the time the hike was over the shoes were completely shot and my feet had become extremely painful.

If you want hiking shoes, these are not it.

width

They don't have the wide toe box
These are way too narrow.

They're just a regular narrow shoe that squishes my toes in.

uncomfortable

Uncomfortable and very expensive at $200 USD.

toe shoe-box

My 2nd pair, and the black pair is very tight in the toe box.

strap

I tried every combination of socks and lacing known to man, all to no avail.

running

Feet never got wet in 24in of snow
I bought these for the purpose of playing slowpitch softball, as I love using trail running shoes over cleats.

weatherproof boot

I have been amazed and I'm thinking about making these or the mids my winter boot.

purchase

I’ve always ordered the same size and they have consistently fit well.
