Altra Olympus 275 review: what runners say
Fit
Wide fit, more generous than the Olympus 6. Runners coming from the previous model report needing a half size up; not recommended for narrow feet.
Feel
High cushioning with a compressed CMEVA midsole, stable and controlled feel. Not a reactive shoe: the feel remains heavy despite the lighter upper.
Durability
Vibram Megagrip outsole with good expected durability. Outsole rated positively for flat and mixed trail. Overall longevity solid per sources.
Best for
Long trail and mixed terrain for runners seeking high cushioning and stability in zero drop. Not suited for those wanting speed or demanding technical terrain.
Weak points
The CMEVA midsole is considered the weak point: lacks reactivity and the shoe remains heavy despite updates. Not suited for narrow feet.
