Pros

Max cushion
No blisters because your foot is locked in for comfort and balance
All day comfort with amazing grips
Venting in shoe is great!

Cons

The toe box area is curved close to the toes - increase by 0.5 size from original sizing to allow toes to spread out

Wow is a big word in my book. It's the only word I used to explain to my husband why my purchase was worth it! My body is telling me YES and my feet say EXCELLENT! I used these shoes for everyday use and walking. Then I used this for a long run and totally fell in love with them at the mile 2 marker. The comfort, cushion and fit is on point.

I recommend this shoe if you are looking for a shoe that performs with many changes in surface areas: grass, gravel, dirt, sand and concrete. The cushion alone helps to protect the entire body and keep the impact to your legs, torso and shoulders as low as possible.

This shoe will remain in my line up of shoes for long runs and 13.1 race days.

Let's add this to my race days as often as possible

Altra Olympus 5 is a necessary shoe to add to your collection!

Comfortable collar and toe box
No blisters on my 13.1
The cushion on the feet is comfortable; and no concern for rolling ankles because of lift
Easy to use for long run training or every day walking or hiking
