My Altras last about 2x any other running shoe, and I even took them on trail runs (Lone Peaks).
Not defending the company, they’re pricey and the catalog is exaggerated, full of nonsense 30mm+ stack shoes, etc.
- trymas 18d agoMaybe it’s just my models: Timp GTX and Timp 5 that aren’t reliable. Got my hands on Olympus - will see if it’s better.
- port11 15d agoYeah, they could simplify the catalog and try to offer the same quality across the board. I don’t see the need to have multiple trail shoes on offer, some of which have a non-replaceable sole. Lone Peaks are almost perfect, keep the stone guard, drop the total stack, and we’re cooking. The longevity of the shoes seems to be compromised by the fancy fabric in some areas, though. Good luck with the Olympus. Don’t let the lack of prosumer foam discourage you!
