I’m loving the new Altra Olympus 4.0 and feel it’s a solid update to an already great workhorse of a shoe - what are your thoughts on Altras new Max-cushion trail runner? Is it too expensive??
@gosekinz4 жыл бұрын
if you're in the market for a max cushioned shoe you are already looking in that upper price bracket - perhaps $170 isn't too much? After all you are going to get a LOT of (isn't the phrase "A TON OF MILES") wear out of the shoe - much more so than a high priced road shoe especially the carbon plated "wonder shoes" that are so much the fashion ... so yeah - Hey mate hope you have the Inov8 G 270 in your rotation - highly recommend it!

I’ve had it in the PCT for about 400 miles now and it’s definitely decreased my overall foot pain significantly. The fit is surprisingly similar to the Timp 1.5 - wider and higher volume than the Olympus 3.5. I wish the forefoot rubber went back another inch or so, but overall it’s the best hiking shoe I’ve ever worn.
@willsessions24744 жыл бұрын
Yeah bro, I've been waiting for this review. I went with the Olympus 3.5 and like you said, great shoe but loose in the heel. I bought the 4.0 three weeks ago and I love it even more. It's definitely lighter. I like the new tongue design. Super grippy on technical terrain and like running on a cloud on the flat gravel trails. The heel is way more snug but still looser than the Timp. I'm over it. One major design update though is the front of the outsole. They split it into five independent sections to improve stability and reduce the risk of ankle rolls. So if you step on a root or rock, only the part of the shoe on the object is pushed upward as opposed to the whole thing. Compare the bottoms of the 3.5 and 4.0 and you'll see what I mean. And hey, one feature that is kinda cool, take a picture of it with your flash on. Very reflective. Good review. I agree with you. Hope your lives are peaceful and balanced out there bro. Namaste.

Stinson? The evo mafate 2 is hokas 100 miler vibram grip trail shoe. I have it. U cant compare any altra shoe to that mate... altra shoes r shit on technical terrain - they r too loose in forefoot which makes u glide and feel insecure on steep downhill. They can for same reason cause blisters on toes unless u over strengthing laces which is also uncomfortable. The altra shoe i had was too soft, and it lost any dampening after 50 miles - tried to return them! 0mm drop cause enormous stress on calves - 3 to 4 mm is min. For shoes that r comfortable. Dont buy the barefoot hype. These r too loose, to swampy, dont last, cant use in technical terrain. Buy hoka or salomon or maybe innov 8? Stop hyping shoes which in reality dont work in terrain, give u blisters, destroys u calves.

TheVikingquest I was just making what I thought was a humorous observation on price point. Not saying one shoe is better than another. Everyone’s feet are different, sounds like you tried a pair of Altra’s and they didn’t work out for you, they may work for others. That said, your point on the Mafate makes my observation stand. Mafate = max cushion trail with Vibram megagrip $170. If people want a max cushion shoe and for the brand to slap that name brand outsole on it the price usually will be around that mark :)

@@machonacho2197 hey, didnt mean too sound so harsch! I guess i was so annoyed still by throwing a pair of almost new 140 dollar trail shoes in the trash after 50 miles... my, and many others opinion that i both read and saw on altra is that the ego midsole isnt durable, their own none vibram rubber is dangerously slippry in on wet rocks and roots (i took one hard fall on them) and loose their dampeninh really quick. I read of some ultra runners who runs 100 miles in them and then have to toss them as they r hard as nails! As u said some might find these to fit, but u have to have extremely wide feet for them and still they dobt work well downhill running... So again, dont waste u money on a low quality, albeit interistung shoe - its still faulty for 95% of runners. When something sucks u should speak out. The store i bought them in was gonna send them to usa! even though Every video and/or review on these, not sponsored, speaks of how badly the ego midsole lasts. They should be pulled from market unless revised. Yes, it also makes me annoyed that so many opions on youtube in the end r just sponsor plugs, or done with some strange commitment - like keep the shoes, but give us an 90% honest review that seems ernest - like this one. Dont buy. Easy. No video needed - no payment transmitted.

@Jeff Johanson yeah. I have half a size up too to get some more room. With that said, for racing, who really wants altra toebox? They felt insecure, slippery and unconnected. I got blisters in front if toes. I still cant recommend anyone byuing altras. I have a new salomon pro 4, just bought on sale. Its even more cramped spacewise, but still they r brutally trustworthy in forest, more stabile then mafate. But i run a half marathon (2.30 to 3 hours technical elevation) every other week in mafate - my feet never hurt, my knees feel fine every time. I do understand why this is the most used 100 mile shoe...

@@TheVikingquest feet are different though. I ran a 75 k in my first altras (timp 1.5) had a great result with zero pain and no blisters. Altras feel like they are made for my feet and when i try my old hokas nikes and solomons now they are way to narrow and that explains why i had so much pain when racing in those. Even the clifton 6 wide is a little bit to snug. I think in the long run altras are truly the best, for me. But with the superior for example, i know what you mean with the downhill aspect.

I've been running in the 4.0's for a few weeks as part of Runner's World shoe test program and your feedback definitely tracks well with what I shared with them a few weeks ago. I really like Altra, but I was really skeptical when I got them (red and white colorway) because I've never run in something with this much stack height. I was never so happy to be wrong. They are surprisingly nimble, really comfortable and very durable. My only point of concern has been how the midsole material is going to hold up on the sole of the shoe over the long term, but so far I have zero complaints (it it definitely pricey though).

I love my Altra Olympus 4.0 shoes. Great traction, good fit, getting it broken in well. Currently have 100 miles in on this shoe and just had outter mesh tear when hit side of rock or stick on weekend trail run. Definite bummer. Altra says, not going to cover under their warranty. Super bummer! Next move is to try & patch it/sew it, glue it up. I would still buy again but am hoping/expecting to get 500 miles out of this pair. So apparently the upper mesh will not "hold up to anything you can throw at it."
@richt39932 жыл бұрын
Yeah this happened to me after wearing for 18 miles. I was mountain scrambling and my foot slipped down between two rocks. Luckily it diddent tear but a severe scuff (prob 1/3 of the way through the fabric). However I had gone on a 10 mile moderate trail run the day before with no issues. I think if the terrain is such that you will need scrapping the sides often, they won't last long. However if its technical terrain that mainly hits just the soles you are good to go. Something like the Speedgoat would be great in that mountainous environment because the upper is tough and reinforced but then your toes are going to get squished. I think Altra are afraid of too much rigidity which goes against the while ethos of a comfortable foot

I really like the Olympus overall as an ultra shoe but I'm still traumatized by that blister dorado they caused me.

Excellent video as always. I think the only thing that justifies the price increase is the Vibram outsole despite that fact they are still less than what Newtons were in 2007 which were $175 back then. I think Altra has a weird needs to try to make certain shoes lighter like this one that don’t need to be lighter. And they unfortunately do it by thinning the tongues. Very annoying. Need I say the “Duo”? To hear it has less cushioning is disappointing yet to me mean they are trying to focus this shoe on true trail running and not as a hybrid road/trail shoe. I’ll totally agree they look way better. Thanks GR for your video reviews. Hopefully you’ll get to review some of the new Topo’s and possible more road shoes.

I use the Altra's for hiking...and that is what is making me nervous about the recent changes. On the Olympus 4 they kept their old midsole foam which to me seemed to flatten out and stop recovering as fast shortly after 100 miles. That made it had to use the Timp 1.5 daily. The Timp 2 looks great with the new midsole material, but they changed the upper to something much more narrow. Now the Olympus 4 looks like Timp 1.5 on an Olympus midsole and outsole, but can I trust the midsole for daily use for oh say 500 miles on the AT? And do I want to pay these prices to learn if they hold up to the daily load of hiking? Just not sure I want to take Altras on the trail next year.

Recently ordered 4.0 and after a few runs I can only state that the shoe does not fit my foot as 3.0 did. Difficulties with heel grip and thinner tongue means that the lacing limits the blood supply if I tighten so that the shoe is tight and the foot slides both sideways and forward in technical terrain. Has the same size 9 as on the old 3.0 but the shoe unfortunately feels like a completely new model. My tip! do not buy before you have tested in store. Ordering the shoe based on previous experience with size and feel is not recommended.

Doesn't say weather he got the 10.5 or 11?

I’m curious if you’ve ran in the New Balance Hierro v5’s? Wondering if they are comparable to the Altra Olympus 4.0.

Less cushion and thinner tongue. Feels more like the old Timps. Never had blisters with any former version of Olympus -- until I got this one. Tried two pairs of the 4.0, and my opinion is that Altra really screwed up a formerly great trail shoe. Sad.

Can you patch them if you have an older version?

I noticed that the size 11 has noticeably more cushioning than the 10.5 in the same Olympus shoe?? Is that possible?

Hi, any update on the cushioning? Does it still holding up after more miles in?

Can anyone speak to transitioning to these from a higher drop? I'm currently exclusively using sense ride 2's (8mm) but want to start running in altras, specifically the Olympus 4.0. I've tried looking online but most of the advice is tailored toward road-running, not trails. I have no major pain issues or anything like that, and am aware I'd need to slowly transition like Ethan said.

A question a cannot seem to find an answer for - how would you compare the cushioning between the Hoka Speedgoat and the Altra Olympus 4? Thanks

How are these for going over rocks? Ran over a pointy rock and hurt a lot in my salomon speed cross 5's so i'm looking for something that can handle rocks better. Looking forward to the altra lonepeak 5 which has a rock plate when it gets released or was thinking of going with these but I don't think they have a rock plate?

Can you use these shoes for running on asphalt as well? Thanks!
