![Tech on the Trail
My shoe of the summer has been the new Altra Olympus 275. It’s covered hundreds of rugged trail miles with me running, hiking, and flying all over the country.
Favorite features are the sick color designs (I’ll be ordering the women pair next, 1.5sz up, just for that color way), the MATTYX Kevlar upper with built in scree sleeve, Vibram mega grip and a great ride under foot - a very different feel from the original Olympus line. This is a zero drop shoe, if you’re looking for a low drop check out the 4mm Wild 2’s.
Put this one in your mountain trail quiver [DM for discount]
