Advice for Trail Runners: Searching for wide-fitting trail running shoes that offer maximum cushioning and grip? We recommend opting for the Altra Men's Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoes in the Burnt Orange colourway.
With a thick layer of Altra EGO MAX cushioning, the Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoes feel very protective. As the midsole has no difference in height from heel to forefoot, it offers great stability on uneven terrain.
A Vibram Megagrip outsole delivers incredible grip on dry and wet surfaces. As underfoot conditions can vary throughout trail runs, this is an important attribute. Vibram Megagrip is also very durable, so can endure lots of running on hard-packed terrain.
Altra running shoes are designed to fit the natural shape of your feet. Or as Altra call it - FootShape Fit. There are three variations of this fit and the Olympus 5 trail running shoes feature the last with the widest fit - the Original FootShape Fit.
This makes them a great choice for runners with broad feet, or for runners whose feet swell over the course of a race. Particularly in ultra distance events.
A premium heel collar construction should feel supportive and secure.
We recommend using the Altra Men's Olympus 5 Trail Running Shoes on hard packed terrain and mixed surfaces. That's because the cushioning delivers great protection and the outsole performs over a range of terrain. However, we would not suggest using these for technical trail runs. Instead, we would advocate using deeper lugged, trail running shoes.
If you're wondering, the Olympus 5 trail running shoes are suitable for sections of road. Especially if you're covering stretches of tarmac at the start and finish of your runs.
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
