650 miles run in the last 6.5 months, not all of them wearing Altra Olympus 5 Trail Shoes! Perhaps 400-450? The other 200-250 miles were whilst wearing Columbia Peak Freak 2 or Inov8 Trailfly G270.

Do your toes slide over the edge of the sole putting extra pressure on those areas that broke?

I sent my Olympus 5 (O5) back. Heel slip was crazy loose. Sometimes my foot would slip out. Shoelaces not long enough. Did not feel constructed from good materials. They looked nice but no where near the quality of the previous version. I prefer the O4 and O3.5. Hope Altra improves on manufacturing & materials. RIP Olympus 5. I wear size 15

Just finished a 169 mile hike over 7 days, videos on my channel, wearing Topo Pursuit can highly recommend.

At 400 km my olympus 5 right shoe's sole separated. I think it is too soon to have such damage. So this is not a material problem but more a glue problem. Too bad

Mine Squeeked like mad the first day i wore them after getting them wet but then it stopped completely . I took them back to the shop to change but when i put them on to show the woman they had stopped but because i liked h0w comfy they were i kept them . I have only done about 150 miles and they are holding up ok right now.

My 5's are still perfect after almost 500 miles on 2 Caminos in Spain and Portugal. Interestingly their undersides look quite different than yours. I have 2 pairs since I like them that much and they both look diff. to yours...are you sure they are genuine ?

That's an interesting concept. Fake Altras, do they exist? I bought mine from a reputable supplier from whom I have bought quite a few items and they were happy to replace them, I assumed, after contacting the manufacturer. I do like my Topo Pursuits that I wear now, they aren't as spongy for comfort in the sole but they are much more hard wearing on the uppers.

Pretty poor. You obviously expect better. Were they expensive? My mate brought some shoes which squeaked as he ran. Drove him crazy.

Altra olympus has vibrum bottom ,so on certain surfaces they will squeek ,

This was only the right shoe. The left one was silent, yet they were both made with the same material. i've heard they also squeek if the sole has been punctured. Shame really, given their obvious comfort.
