Altra Olympus 7 Mid GTX Hiking Boot - Men's Black/Black/Dark Shadow

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"A storm rolled in halfway through a ridge hike and my feet stayed completely dry the rest of the way down.

What surprised me most was how much room my toes had to spread out on the steep descent, no jamming, no hot spots."Altra built the Olympus 7 Mid GTX around a simple idea, feet do better when they're allowed to move the way they're shaped to move.

That shows up most on long descents, where a wider toe box means less jamming and fewer blisters by the time you're back at the car.

Underneath that fit, a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper blocks water from stream crossings and surprise downpours without turning the boot stiff, and Altra EGO MAX foam keeps cushioning consistent whether you're an hour in or ten miles deep.

The Vibram Megagrip outsole, backed by TractionLug technology, holds its line on wet roots and loose gravel, the kind of terrain that usually punishes a careless step.
