Altra Olympus 275

Altra Olympus 275 review: what runners say

Fit

Wide fit, runs slightly long compared to the Olympus 6. Not suited for narrow feet. The toebox is among the most generous in the Altra lineup.

Feel

High cushioning with a CMEVA midsole, identical to the Olympus 6. Overall less heavy feel thanks to the MATRYX upper, but the underfoot setup does not feel reactive.

Durability

Vibram Megagrip outsole with a solid reputation. Overall durability rated good across sources, with no specific mileage figures noted.

Best for

Long trail runs at a moderate pace, flat or manageable elevation terrain. Zero-drop runners looking for a more performance-oriented version of the Olympus 6 — not for those seeking speed or versatility on technical singletrack.

Weak points

The CMEVA foam is considered the weak point: lacks reactivity and pop. Weight remains high despite the upper change.
