Altra Olympus 275 Shoe
Altra's Olympus shoes are well-cushioned, protected, and stable but can be rather weighty for big days or races. Enter the Olympus 275, Altra's answer for a higher stack, ultra-distance race shoe. While it retains the comfortable and stable ride of its namesake, the Olympus 275 adds a new, high-tech Matryx upper. Matryx is a premium upper material in the trail-racing world, with kevlar fibers woven into it for added durability and low-stretch properties. Adding Matryx to the Olympus cuts a significant amount of weight from the shoe, promises better performance for your faster runs, and improves the shoe's durability and resistance to tearing and abrasion. The new upper also includes a small stretch gaiter around the ankle to keep rocks and dirt from entering the shoe. The shoe is brought together with a TPEE insole for increased underfoot comfort and excellent support. For a durable and high-performance ride, look no further than the Olympus 275.
