How it ranks
The Altra Olympus 1.0 sits about average for trail shoes in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 3 runner reviews and 10 other rated shoes in the Olympus product line. Another 9 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
13/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 3 runner ratings.
