The i-Run team says
TheAltra Olympus 5 shoe for men is a comfortable training partner for your all-distance trail running sessions. Designed to make your progress on trails easier, you forget all about fatigue with these.
Designed to be particularly plush, the new EGO MAX midsole provides superior cushioning and perfect shock absorption. You also get a significant energy return so you can easily rack up the miles.
Balanced Cushioning places your heel at the same height as the forefoot for better alignment of the body. Thanks to the FootShape Toe Box, your toes have the perfect amount of space to stretch out and increase stability.
The upper is made up of breathable mesh and obstacle-resistant reinforcements. The robust Vibram Megagrip outsole is designed for powerful grip on wet or dry surfaces.

Foot-Shaped Toe Box

Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
