Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

Altra Women's Olympus 7 Trail Running Shoes Black / Silver / Castlerock

Season:AW26

Brand:Altra

Code:AL0A85UG-89C

BIG CUSHIONING FOR BIG TRAIL DAYS. With a generous 33mm stack and a softer, lighter Altra EGO™ MAX midsole, the Women's Olympus 7 is built to take the sting out of long miles, rocky trails and ultra-distance adventures. The ride feels protective and comfortable without becoming vague underfoot, helping reduce fatigue and making it a great choice when you want your legs to feel fresher for longer.

Altra Women's Olympus 7 Overview

The Altra Women's Olympus 7 are highly cushioned trail-running shoes designed for long miles, ultra distances, and rugged terrain. Sitting at the top of Altra's cushioning range, they combine a generous 33mm / 33mm stack height with a zero-drop platform to promote natural alignment while delivering substantial underfoot protection.

This latest version introduces a lighter and softer Altra EGO MAX midsole, alongside a refined upper construction with improved comfort around the ankle and enhanced durability through moulded TPU overlays. Built for trail runners who prioritise cushioning without compromising grip, the Olympus 7 are engineered to stay comfortable when the terrain — and distance — gets demanding.

Best For

  • Long-distance trail running
  • Ultra marathons
  • Technical and rocky terrain
  • High-mileage training
  • Runners who prefer max cushioning with 0mm drop
  • Trail runners wanting grip + protection + comfort

Materials and Construction

Upper: Engineered Mesh with TPU Overlays

The engineered mesh upper is designed to balance breathability and structure. Its woven construction allows airflow during sustained effort, helping regulate temperature on longer runs.

Strategically placed moulded TPU overlays reinforce high-wear zones, protecting against abrasion from rocks, roots and debris while adding structural integrity around the midfoot. This improves durability without significantly increasing weight.

The updated plush tongue and integrated comfort collar reduce pressure across the instep and ankle, improving step-in comfort and minimising friction over long distances.

Midsole: Updated Altra EGO MAX

The Olympus 7 feature an updated Altra EGO MAX midsole compound that is approximately 15% lighter and 10% softer than the previous version.

This foam is engineered for high-stack cushioning that remains stable rather than overly compressive. It absorbs repetitive impact on uneven terrain while maintaining responsiveness and energy return.

With a 33mm / 33mm stack height, the platform provides substantial underfoot protection from sharp rocks and trail irregularities, making them ideal for ultra distances and long mountain days.

Outsole: Vibram Megagrip with TractionLug

The outsole uses Vibram Megagrip, a premium rubber compound known for reliable grip on both wet and dry surfaces. It performs particularly well on rock, loose gravel and mixed mountain terrain.

Integrated Vibram TractionLug technology enhances surface contact and multi-directional grip. The lug design increases traction without increasing lug depth, improving braking control on descents and stability during technical foot placement.

Features and Technologies

Max Cushioning Platform

With 33mm of cushioning under both heel and forefoot, the Olympus 7 offer a protective yet stable ride. The high stack works particularly well for long distances, reducing fatigue and impact stress over time.

Refined Comfort Construction

A plumper tongue and integrated collar improve overall comfort around the ankle. Combined with updated upper materials, this creates a more refined on-foot feel compared to previous versions.

Durable Trail Protection

Moulded TPU overlays add structure and abrasion resistance, protecting the shoe in high-wear zones without compromising flexibility.

Fit and Sizing Guidance

FootShape Fit – Original

The toe box is intentionally roomy to allow natural toe spread under load. This may feel wider than traditional trail shoes but supports comfort during swelling on long efforts.

Midfoot hold is secure, and the heel remains stable without excessive padding.

True to Size

Most runners should choose their usual Altra size.

If between sizes or planning to wear thicker trail socks, trying both sizes may help fine-tune the fit.

Stack and Ride Feel

  • Stack height: 33mm / 33mm
  • Ride: Cushioned cruiser
  • Drop: 0mm
  • Cushioning feel: Soft yet stable
  • Grip profile: High-traction, adaptable

Altra Olympus 7 Review At Trekitt, we tested the Olympus 7 on a mix of typical UK trail terrain, including rocky sections in the Brecon Beacons, loose gravel tracks in the Black Mountains and long hard-packed paths where repeated impact can quickly build fatigue.

What stood out most was how comfortable the shoe remained over longer runs. The high cushioning helps soften repetitive impact on uneven ground, while the Vibram® outsole maintains reliable traction on loose and rocky surfaces. For long-distance trail runs or mountain days where comfort becomes increasingly important as the miles add up, the Olympus 7 are designed to keep legs feeling fresher for longer.
How Cushioned Are the Olympus 7? Very cushioned. With 33mm of foam under both the heel and forefoot, the Olympus 7 sit at the top of Altra's trail cushioning range.

The updated EGO™ MAX midsole is lighter and softer than previous versions, helping absorb repetitive impact on long runs and rocky terrain. The result is a protective ride that helps reduce fatigue during ultra distances or long mountain days.
How Good Is the Grip? Grip is handled by the Vibram® Megagrip outsole combined with Vibram TractionLug technology. This combination improves surface contact and braking power on loose or uneven terrain.

It performs well across a variety of trail conditions including rocky paths, loose gravel and wet ground, helping maintain stability when moving quickly over technical trails.
