Altra Sale

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Thank you. Your reminder = ordered a new pair from REI !!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Hopefully they take the opportunity to improve the issue they have with the Olympus 5. My pair had the sole de-laminate on the Frances this September after only 300kms of use. I contacted Altra and they said this was a known problem and to super glue the sole back together! The shoes did just make it to SdC. Altra replaced them with a new pair when I got back to Australia. That said, it is something to be aware of as it's difficult to replace them enroute! Hopefully new models which seem to have a different sole pattern won't have the same issue.
 
I still have a new pair of Olympus 4 that I had purchased for my 2023 Camino, which is now postponed to April 2024! I have been using my existing Olympus 4 pair that I purchased a long time ago and love them but they are now falling apart!
