About this product
The Altra Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX is a men's waterproof hiking shoe built for full-day outings on technical and thru-hiking terrain. Its leather upper is paired with Gore-Tex Invisible Fit, a lightweight waterproof lining that is also windproof and breathable, backed by the Gore-Tex Guaranteed To Keep You Dry promise. A constructed collar provides a stable fit and ankle support where the trail gets demanding. Underfoot, a plush compression-molded EVA foam midsole delivers maximum cushioning at a 33mm stack height, while the Vibram Megagrip outsole offers reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The neutral-support platform uses Altra's Original FootShape fit, the brand's roomiest toe box geometry, giving toes space to splay naturally through the forefoot and midfoot. Offered in black (SKU al0a85np), the Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX earns solid marks for durability and rain protection, making it a well-rounded choice for hikers who want waterproof coverage without sacrificing comfort or ground feel.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Altra Olympus 6 Hike Mid GTX for its exceptional cushioning and plush, trail-runner-like comfort on long hiking days, with the wide, foot-shaped toe box earning particular enthusiasm from hikers with wider feet. The Vibram Megagrip outsole is widely lauded for reliable traction on wet rock, loose terrain, and alpine conditions, and the Gore-Tex waterproofing is considered effective and surprisingly breathable. The zero-drop platform is a strong selling point for fans of natural-gait footwear, and the boot is notably lighter than its bulky appearance suggests. The most common complaints center on durability, with multiple reviewers noting premature wear to the inner lining, midsole compression, and in some cases sole separation. A recurring issue is ankle discomfort from the lace-lock binding, and some users report squeaking developing after heavy use. Hikers with very wide or high-volume feet may still find the fit inconsistent, and the boot is generally considered better suited to moderate terrain and day hikes than sustained thru-hiking or technical mountaineering.
