The i-Run team says
The Altra Olympus 5 shoe for men is the comfort asset for your trail sessions of all distances. Designed to facilitate your progress on the trails, it makes you forget fatigue.
Particularly plush, the new EGO MAX midsole offers superior cushioning and perfect shock absorption. You also benefit from significant energy return to easily cover the miles.
The Balanced Cushioning process places your heel at the same height as the forefoot for better body alignment. Thanks to the FootShape Toe Box, your toes have ideal space to spread out, thus gaining in stability.
The upper is made of breathable mesh and reinforcements resistant to obstacles. Robust, the Vibram Megagrip outsole promises powerful traction on dry or wet 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.
