Mens Altra Olympus 275

Altra Olympus 275 — Cushioned Trail Performance Redefined

The Altra Olympus 275 builds on the legacy of the Olympus series, delivering a lighter, more agile ride without sacrificing plush comfort. Boasting Altra’s signature zero‑drop platform and FootShape™ toe box, this shoe supports a natural foot position even on rugged terrain. Its 33 mm stack height cushions each step, while the midsole's sidewalls and heel support guard against instability despite the lofty ride.

Thanks to the innovative Matrix upper, reinforced with Kevlar fibres, the Olympus 275 sheds approximately 55 g compared to its predecessor. The result is a more breathable yet sturdy upper designed to withstand long outings. An integrated gaiter-style collar keeps dirt out — a thoughtful nod for serious trail runners.

Rugged terrain? No problem. The trusted Vibram Megagrip outsole, carried forward from the Olympus 6, delivers dependable traction and tread segmentation that adapts to uneven surfaces—keeping your footing secure when the trail gets technical. At approximately 298 g per shoe and priced competitively, it strikes a sweet spot between performance and value.

Ideal For:

- Ultrarunners & long-distance hikers seeking a lighter yet cushioned zero-drop ride.
- Runners who value durability + breathability, from the upper to outsole.
- Trail adventurers navigating technical, rocky terrain, thanks to debris protection and versatile grip.
