ALTRA WOMEN'S OLYMPUS 6

Guru tip: Altra's most plush trail runner.

Tech tip: The Olympus is the perfect max cushion trail runner for you mountain folk out there. This shoe features 33mm of cushy eva foam. Of course it can't be an Altra shoe without the roomy toe box and 0mm heel to toe drop. The best part may be the Vibram outsole, giving you a grippy tread to tear up the trails on.

Buy this shoe if... you want cushion and toe space.

Don't buy this shoe if... you like more ground feel.
