Altra Olympus 275 HiLo Shoe
The Olympus 275 HiLo is Altra's ultra-distance racing weapon, built to help you keep moving mile after mile after mile. Like its less racy cousin, the Olympus 7, the 275 HiLo is a high-stack gem with a wide outsole platform. It delivers high stability and cushion for long days on your feet, but with a lighter (yet no less durable) construction. Compared to the previous Olympus 275, the HiLo boasts a reworked Altra EGOMax that is 10% softer and 15% lighter, helping you go faster and farther. The outsole also received an upgrade in the form of TractionLug: tiny points on Vibram's already impressive Megagrip rubber compound that increase surface area to provide superior grip. The upgraded Matryx upper is utilized for durability and longevity, with the Kevlar-infused fabric providing resistance to tearing and abrasion. A soft scree shield is integrated around the ankle for added protection from rocks and debris. For tackling the highs and lows of big-mileage runs and races, the Olympus 275 HiLo is a shoe built to go the distance and set the pace.

- Softer and lighter EGOMax midsole helps you push your limits even further.
