Altra Olympus 275 HiLo

Altra Olympus 275 HiLo review: what runners say

Fit

Roomy toe box and typical Altra "foot-shaped" fit, with space for toe splay and comfort at the midfoot. Some runners report needing to size up by half a size compared to the Olympus 6.

Feel

Soft yet stable Ego Max midsole, wide base provides security; on hard surfaces and asphalt, the ride is fluid and natural, without marked bounce. Not designed for speed but for long, comfortable outings.

Durability

Vibram MegaGrip outsole with traction lugs and one-piece Matrix upper with Kevlar yarn, resistant to abrasion and impacts; no sources report failures or specific lifespan in miles.

Best for

Long trails and ultras on mixed terrain (trail, dirt, some road segments), designed for those wanting the Altra fit but with a higher-performance, lighter upper than the Olympus 7, oriented toward hiking/slow running rather than speed.

Weak points

High price (£175/$200) for a trail shoe; some reviewers would have preferred an updated midsole (e.g., Ego Max Plus or P35) to make it more responsive.
