Altra's popular max-cushioned trail shoe has been upgraded with a fresh new look and more durable upper mesh. Named after one of the most prominent peaks in the Wasatch ains, the Olympus 1.5 is designed to help you conquer any terrain. The flexible, max-cushioned Zero Drop platform and FootShape toe box combine to place your foot in a natural position for an efficient, stable and fast running experience. A-Bound cushioning acts as a spring to return energy into each step, while the EVA foam beneath it protects your feet from the rugged terrain. Weight: 11.1 OZTrue Gender Specificity Women's feet are anatomically different than men's feet. Women have a narrower heel and midfoot, higher instep, longer arch and unique metatarsal spacing. While this has always been a fact of life, traditional running shoe companies have opted to make male and female shoe models virtually identical for years. Altra is the first shoe company to introduce an entire line of truly female specific shoes. Every last of Altra women's running shoes have been molded around the unique shape of the female foot. A shoe last is a 360-degree model of a foot used to create the shoe's heel, instep, arch and toe box dimensions. Female specific design combined with a cushioned Zero Drop platform and foot-shaped toe box allows a woman's foot to remain in a natural, relaxed position throughout her run.Footshape Toe Box Allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position for more stability and a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance.Zero Drop Platform Places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to promote low-impact technique, naturally align body posture and strengthen lower leg muscles weakened from running on elevated heels.
