Hi Tom,
The new Spin Ultra 2 does fit about a half size bigger than the original Spin Ultra! If you sized up a half size in the older model for a comfortable fit, I would guess you can size normally for this one.

Hi Terry,
Apart from the drop, which is quite different (8mm in the Tomir vs. zero in the Altra), the shoes have pretty different fits! The Olympus has Altra's signature toe box, which is super wide, and carries its width all the way back. While we wouldn't call the Tomir a narrow shoe - it's fairly roomy - it isn't Altra-wide. It has a much more traditional shape to it.
Another difference worth noting would be the durability of the Tomir - it is made out of burlier materials and will outlast the Olympus,...

Hi Zach,
They feel fairly similar to me overall! The Bushido III Wide is a bit roomier-feeling in the toe box, but the width through the midfoot and heel feels similar. The Akasha has a bit more padding, and the Bushido might be a touch lower through the instep, but if forefoot width is the limiting factor, I think the Bushido III wide will work!

Hi Caryn,
Yes, everything in the drop-down menu is still available!

Hi Ryan,
It certainly could! You would have 1l in the front two flasks, and you could fit additional flasks in either of the back pockets of the vest.
