Altra Olympus 6 Hike Low GORE-TEX Women's Walking Shoes
If you are looking for a premium walking shoe with a lightweight feel that can handle all conditions, look no further. Whether on dirt, mud or rocky paths, these shoes have you covered, with a Vibram Megagrip outsole for excellent grip and an Original FootShape Fit that lets your toes splay for a natural feel.
Leather Upper
The Olympus 6 Hike features a leather upper. The highly durable material protects itself from bumps and scrapes as well as your feet, providing a long-lasting pair of shoes. Not only this, but the upper has a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane to supply your feet with constant protection when travelling on wet, muddy trails, therefore feet remain dry throughout your adventures. The shoes remain highly breathable with the fabric towards the back being perforated, allowing cool air to circulate whilst releasing built-up heat to keep them cooler for longer. A constructed collar has been used on the Olympus 6, providing a locked-in and stable fit. A toe bumper protects from trail debris while increasing the shoe's durability. A GAITERTRAP hook and loop tab connects a strapless gaiter to prevent debris ingress, and unlike traditional gaiters, it stops mud from building beneath the shoe. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system which helps to lock the foot down to prevent excessive movement.
Compression Moulded EVA Midsole
The midsole has been created with an extremely resilient, ultralight foam. This foam is constructed from a firm CMEVA cushioning for a combined level of comfort and support. The CMEVA midsole offers maximum cushioning whilst maintaining a lightweight feel, perfect for the longest of runs, keeping you comfortable from the first mile to the last. The Original FootShape Fit gives a wider toe box that allows you to splay your toes for a more natural fit and feel when running on any surface.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
Completing the Olympus 6 is a Vibram Megagrip outsole, a high-performance sticky rubber that provides exceptional grip and traction on any surface, whether dry or wet. The outsole also includes flex grooves, which increase traction and grip on varied surfaces by allowing your foot to move naturally, providing a larger surface area. The grooves have been cut out of the midsole to reduce overall weight and ensure traction when running. An all-new lug pattern provides increased grip and confidence even on the trickiest of trails.
