try getting some V8s off amazon if they have your size. i found the 9s to be much narrower than the 8s. my feet overhand my 9s and the 8s fit like a glove.
Altra Olympus are great shoes, but it's worth noting that theyre zero drop, which if you're not used to it will feel really strange and likely give you pain in your calves due to them putting more pressure on your lower legs.
If you want that Altra feel but aren't used to zero drop it's worth looking at the Altra Experience Wild which have a 4mm drop
Personally, I love my New Balance Hierro v8 and my Nike Pegasus Trail 5, which are very do everything shoes and are really comfortable
Have love every version except for the v8 where the lack of tongue loop and laces stink. Haven’t tried v9 yet but ordered a pair and just arrived, and will once my v8’s wear out. Encouraged by the tongue loop on these.
I disagree, the v9s are the best. The v8 are the suckiest and they made me slide in Lisbon because they use cheap vibram. If you gonna buy stuff anyway why settle for the cheapest material for a premium price? The v9 uses the best grips
buy the v9. V8s are worst one because it uses the cheapest vibram and priced it premium while the v9 have a comfy foam. I have both the V8 and V9 and I got into an accident in Lisbon because of the V8s thinking they got the same "premium" vibram of the V9. Don't believe suckers who do not test their shoes in different conditions
Trabuco (12) have great durability as road to trail shoes, can definitely recommend them. Hierro v8 have been one of my favourite shoes, I managed to bring them to 850 km, the upper had a really big tear on the side by then though. V9 weren't as good, had problems with the laces and less durable overall

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
