Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Home run! Better than the Olympus 5!
2 weeks ago
Wow! I wore the Olympus 5 and had some trouble with the shoes is the sizing and laces too short, the heel too high causing blistering and hot spots BUT THESE SHOES ARE AMAZING! I cannot speak about the new Olymous 6 but the 275 is very comfortable, has an excellent fit in the heel especially with the sock liner (don't feel it but love it!) and the rounded toe box (of course). I haven't taken these shoes on very technical trails with boulders but very lose gravel with medium-ish size gravel. Didn't feel uncomfortable walking on the road/trail, didn't feel the gravel and felt very comfortable in the shoes. Even took them on the pavement and also felt at ease! Love the colors and am holing REI picks up the black and green shoes too! Also, the laces are nice and long leaving plenty of room for adou or knot and 2nd eye hole use, if needed. Home run, Altra!

My new favorite

Love these! There weren’t any reviews yet when I went to the store to try them on but they were so much more comfortable than the timps and seemed like more airflow as well. I wore them the very next day on a 6+ mile hike/jog and loved them. Just got back from an 8 mile backpacking trip in Montana, river crossing included, and they help up great! Great traction, no weird heel ridge, and they dry out fast! Also, great cushion.

Best Olympus Model Yet

I have had the 4s, 5s, and didn't care for the fit of the 6s. But these have knocked it out of the park and are my all-time favorites. Toe box is roomy, the built in garter works (much easier than have to put on gaiters), stable, and plush comfortable. I plan to buy at least one or two more pairs in case next year they change it.
