I took a huge chance on these shoes. I originally had the Altra Olympus 6, but when they rubbed my heel raw, I had to give them up… a week before a trip to Alaska. Frantically, ordered lots of Altras and Topos and decided to break the cardinal rule of never wearing new shoes on a trip with these. Boy, am I lucky because these shoes are IT. The Vibram sole makes it have the non-slip of a sturdy hiking book. The cushy zip foam kept my feet feeling good, free of aches even after multiple 5-9 mile hikes in a week. I can’t speak to the durability since I’ve had these for only a few weeks but I’m thrilled with them. Highly, highly recommend especially those coming from the Olympus unsatisfied. The only small thing is the lack of color choices with this shoe. But that’s it. Amazing shoe.
