Olympus 2.0

I wouldn't agree with that. Done several 50km ultras with them on pretty rugged trails. They feel far more nimble and responsive than the standard Olympus in my experience.

I’ve done the CF, the Portuguese (from Porto), the middle chunk of the Via Francigena and this year the Kumano Kodo. The combo that works for me is the Altra Olympus low, Injinji toe socks and Dirty Girl gaiters. It’s not perfect in all conditions e.g. heavy rain but it works for me. YMMV. Good luck and Buen Camino!

Altra Olympus. They will help with the plantar fasciitis as they are quite padded. I swear by them and they're all I wore on my '22 hike.

Good Luck!! I run in provision and paradigm on roads - and honestly, i tihnk either of those would also work on pea gravel. My trail shoes are the Olympus, and I just bought the Experience Wild, but haven't run on them enough to have an opinion. The Olympus is heavy and grippy, but I live in Appalachia.

Once upon a time I was around 200lbs (as a 5’2”ish girlie) and never had any complaints about my Altra Timps. This year I lost 75lbs and found that I like the Altra Olympus for a cushier ride on long runs. 10/10 for both shoes, but Altras do seem to wear faster than my Nike Wildhorse used to (I loved the 5 and every model since has been a flop for me). I get 300-350ish miles on them before the tread starts coming apart. If they change the Timp radically when they update it they will rue the day (and I’ll prob finally try out Mount to Coast).

Look at the Mount to Coast H1. It’s a hybrid shoe. I’ve worn it on the treadmill, rail trail, and normal east coast mountain trails (rooty & rocky) with no issues at all. I just switched in the last month or so after years consistently running in the Timp & Olympus because I was starting to have some plantar fasciitis issues. Fell in love with MtC and now run in the H1 & just scooped a pair of T1s. I think it’s a 6mm drop, but worth eyeballing.

I’m pretty partial to the Altra Olympus 

I used lone peak and loved it, but I found it sucks if you use it for long rocky or stone paths, so I got Olympus, which is very good but has two noticeable disadvantages, takes a lot dries way slower and feet doesn't breath as well. It's because they didn't just add stack height, but added a lot of padding too, which does feel nice but lead to the downsides I mentioned.
