Review: A game changer for Japan trip - I got these for a three month trip to Japan. I shattered my knee in a road accident and I have a lot of metal and screws holding it together now. I usually get knee pain when walking but these allowed me to walk 20,000-40,000 steps a day on all manner of terrain in Japan with no issues. with knee and zero foot blisters. They're not the best looking trainers but I would happily buy again, or another version that's more stealthy in the look. Unfortunately the the soles have worn out and there are holes in the inner material after about 3 months of touring the country but I think that would be the case for most trainers.
Review: like wearing childhood pumps. - Bright colours make for comments “look like holiday shoes”. I guess that means comfy. I like the wide foot fitting although my walking style causes the inside of the shoe to glance against the other occasionally which causes external wear to the shoe. my favourite brand alongside Topo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A game changer for Japan trip

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect trial shoe for what I need.
*by U***R on 24 May 2023*

Already own Altra Lone Peak 6 which I found a little lightweight. The Olympus 5 is much better for my needs. Use for hiking and not running. Has a vibram sole which some dont like but I find ideal. On another buyers advice I added a superfeet insole for added arch support and I have found the perfect shoe for me. Worked out a little expensive but if it gets you what you need!! Comfortable straight from the box. Not waterproof but dry quickly. Only remains to see how they last under prolonged use. Beware ..Once you get used to a wide toe box shoe like the Altra range you cant go back to standard fitting shoes. I have a pair of Hoka which I cant use anymore.
