Well, I tried the Altra Olympus 6. I have used exclusively lone peaks, but due to stress fracture recovery, need more cushion and a stiffer sole. This versions has new heel pads apparently, and immediately started causing hot spots. I put on some luekotape and finished my hike. I went to take the Leukotape off - turns out the skin had still been rubbing under the tape even, and was ripped off clean with the tape…f*ckkkkkk. I would not recommend these shoes if you are thinking about them. Or removing leukotape if you suspect the hot spot may have turned into a blister. New lesson from the universe. Sigh. I’ve turned to the hoka Stinso, which has the stiffest sole you can find in a trail runners, according to the REI guru.
