Altra Olympus 5 Mid GTX First Look

This video had been one I wanted to put together sooner, but with the last winter being a very mild one things didn't go as planned. I've been getting a lot of questions lately asking about this shoe. Now that we are approaching the winter season again, I thought I would put together a video going over one of my dedicated pairs of footwear I purchased for winter backpacking. I share a closer look, the fit and my first impressions of the Altra Olympus 5 Mid GTX. The Olympus series has been in rotation for me over the last few years along with my favorite Lone Peaks. I hope this brief first look video helps anyone interested in the shoe. I'll post a follow up video on this channel after I get more mileage in with the Olympus 5 Mid GTX.

*In my Altra Olympus 5 video linked above, I go over a pair of size 11s. Since then, I had swapped them for a half size up and found the switch to fit much better. For a look at that shoe (and other gear), check out my 2023 Gear Update video here:    • 2023 Gear Update: Senchi, Altra, Zpac...
