Would your opinion change at all if the price point was $106? Found them on sale.

I was hoping they fixed the super obtrusive tongue stitching point in the shoe that rubs into the forefoot. But it seems this doesn't affect many people. Most Topos unfortunately are suffering from this.

Thanks for the fine review. What about stability? Do you think this shoe would be good for pronators, for example?

Would love to see a comparison video vs the Petzl Swift RL 1100.

I have the Flow and they are really comfortable. I’d like to get the Wild in a 13 but concerned they may be too small.

Appreciate you taking the time to do a demo. Thank you 🌞 ❤

Been loving the Timp 5 so far. Came from the 2 and 3 version.

Watching after the live. In Australia. Very interested in your thoughts on the Topo spector 2. Im a big topo fan

Hi Chad, What’s your experience with the most recent firmware update (July 2024)? Did battery life and OHR precision improve, as advertised? Anything else? Keep up the good work! Gus

Really good review👍🏻

Hi Chad, what would you consider to be your top 3 trail shoes of 2024 so far?

All I know is that the hiker version should remove the excessive widening of the heel on the outsole because when you walk you walk much more with heelstrike and this makes the outsole cave into your heel and start to cause some real problems for people. I have personal experience with this, having hiked a 350 km (217,5 miles) hike with them and hearing the same story from other hikers.

Where did you guys start at?

Hey there, Chad!I have a question regarding Altra's that I'm hoping you can help me with: I purchased ALTRA Women's AL0A82CS Lone Peak 7 Trail Running Shoe because I'm so in love with my first pair of Altra's which I am in love with. I feel like I'm squishing into marshmallow with every step, Happy Feet they make me want to run and dance. However, this new pair is nothing like them. They are just normal. Do you understand what I'm referring to? Which style's have this 'walking on cloud 9' feel? I need to return the new ones, they are great shoes, but nothing like my dirty old pair.

Great video! Enjoyed see Indian Peaks area again; been many years since I've been up there. Looks like you guys all are good at climbing and rock scrambling :) With aging, I no longer have the balance, flexibility and agility to do anything that technical and steep. I can still be on rocks and some technical stuff but need to be careful. What shoes were you wearing?

Great video. Im new here. I just changed from Altra to topo. So far so good. Im recovering from kidney stone surgery, so im doing a lot of walking to put muscle mass back on. Thanks.

I wonder if this is the evolution of the Craft Pro Endur, which is what I currently have. Based on the specs, they're quite similar. I really like the Craft Pro Endur and this might be a good replacement for it when the time comes.

Thank you for the review. If you have tried them, how would you compare with the Inov8 Trailfly Ultra 270 v2 or the Scarpa Spin 2.0? I like a nice flexible, low to the ground shoe for my long distance runs and ultras, and have many, many miles in the Trailfly. Wondering if I should try something else? :)

Sounds like a great buy! How many miles did you get in them before you started to feel foot fatigue? Think it’s good for distances up to 20 miles or is it ideal for shorter distances?

Indian Peaks Wilderness looks like a beautiful area. Like Taylor, I got into trail running just to be able to see more beauty in the same amount of time. I used to just hike exclusively and then I thought "If I run through this I'll get to see more of it" and that's what I've been doing ever since.

That was an amazing trip! For clarity, I’m not referring to @tbromedia’s ankle roll. Thanks for sharing the miles and adventure.

Nice work! Cool to see the traverse. This is the best TH/area in the Front Range. I was up there yesterday (7.7), started at Hessie and did s. Arapaho on a 25mi route. The view from the cliff edge between Lake Dorothy and Caribou Pass is top tier CO

Some sweet views! I bet you’ll remember that birthday run for awhile!

Just ordered a pair. I was looking at the Traverse or MTN Racers 3 at first because I am planning on backcountry backpacking, but the quick-drying features compared to the Racers 3 are a big feature, and the Traverse are out-of-stock! We'll see if the comfyness and quick-dry features are enough. They appear to be from these reviews!

Absolutely spectacular! Traversing ridge lines is just next level! Nice job!

Loved the video and love this area so much! I got married at Lake Dorothy at the end of June and ran up to south Arapaho/old baldy the next morning. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Absolutely loved this video! Had me smiling ear to ear the entire time!! So good to get out with you! Great Runventure!!!

Amazing! Love your content! Thx for sharing 🤙🤙🤙

An awesome day! Thanks for taking us along

what an amazing place

Thanks for the review. As a long distance hiker i (and many others) have used the Olympus in all its iterations extensively. The issue of weight is interesting as, in the hiking world, its a lot lighter than boots which are the only real alternative. The comfort and grip are second to none and the lightness of the shoe means you can hike for way longer than in a boot. Regarding quality, i would agree that this has declined, especially in the last iteration. Im also annoyed at the quality and length of the laces which seem to have gotten shorter for some reason. Additionally, the Olympus 5 durability was poor, especially when the midsole meets the upper which is why maybe they have put some more reinforcement into that. Anyway, gripes aside, i will buy them as there is nothing else, at a zero drop that comes anywhere near it... unless you know better??

Great review! Can i carry my keys, phone, 2 gels, 2 protein bars and a 500ml salomon flask with it? Do you think there is enough storage for those?

Kept waiting for you to show the back of the shoe so I could see the size of the gator trap. They seemed to half the size of it from the version 4 to the 5 and wandered if they went even smaller with the 6. Was disappointed to hear they didn't improve heel lock which is what I hated about the 5 vs. 4. Oh well, guess it's a waiting game to see if they improve heel lock on v. 7. Thanks for the review!

Any ideas on securing the drink tube for the bladder?

The toebox feels like 1/2 inch narrower than the previous version, I wish they have kept it the same as the Pursuit 1, these were not for me

Great seeing you this morning. Happy runnings

I loved the Olympus 4s for long runs and/or rocky terrain. They only lasted 350 miles before one split down the side though. Have a pair of 5’s now and they took about 20-30 miles to break-in before they felt okay, but I like the 4’s better for the way they fit my feet. I have no idea if I’ll try the 6’s, although I do need a high cushion shoe in my rotation and really like zero drop shoes. I’ve switched to never buying the current generation since once they are released the previous generation gets a healthy discount which increases the value.

It's 12.2oz in a mens size 10.5 which altra uses for their tech specs on their site

'Super durable' ...that seems an exaggeration with so little testing. And given how non durable past generations have been, I'd take average durability as a huge improvement.

They did really good ngl... But a 12 yo PR was 15 minutes??!!

signed up for the pilot mountain to hanging rock 50k as a 16 year old in september with my buddy in cross country, thanks for the info!

I've run in the Olympus since their first version. But for $175, I'm thinking of finding something else at a cheaper price. Would the Topo Ultraventure be a comparable shoe (other than the 5mm drop)?

How do the no show socks feel with these? I have the Under Armour Phantom 3 SE's and the shoe tears up my Achilles tendon with no show socks (which are my favorite sock aesthetically speaking).
