The women's' Altra Olympus 5 is the latest maximal cushioning trail running shoe that many customers have enjoyed for road-to-trail runs, where you take a short journey on the pavement to your favourite tracks and trails. The Altra Olympus 5 can achieve this because of the higher cushioning and shorter stud length, meaning less wear on hard ground.

All Altra trail running shoes like the Olympus 5 have Zero Drop heel to forefoot and a broader, rounded toe box trademarked FootShape. Both of these incredibly important features help encourage better form with a midfoot strike and the best running posture, which is more upright and feels quicker on the feet.
