{{DISPLAYTITLE:Altra Olympus Review}}
The Altra Olympus has the soft cushioning that is like the best of similar to the [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka range]], combined with zero drop and a nice wide toe box. It's remarkably flexible given its cushioning, with an outsole that works well on the road. Like the Hokas, the cushioning means the shoe works well on stony trails as well. Like other Altra shoes, the tongue area is wider than most shoes, reducing the pressure slightly on the top of your foot. Unfortunately, the Olympus is nearly as heavy as the [[Hoka Mafate]], but the Mafate is better ate earning its weight, with a lot more cushioning and an outsole that works in nearly every terrain. While the Olympus might pretend to be a trail shoe, it won't handle the soft mud or slick rock in the way the Mafate will. For an even more stark comparison, the [[Hoka Clifton]] is much lighter while providing even more cushioning. {{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}
