My experience is that they got better over time

That’s good to know! I was so surprised at the stiffness…almost every shoe / boot needs break in so I hope they improve. Thanks for the note on this :)

Excellent review. Always looking for new shoes.

Thank you, Vaucluse team! Really needed those wide shoes that day for sure..beautiful place to try new gear

Amazing! So many of us who know you .. knew of stories 1 & 3, but did not know about the supposed #2 situation. I feel it's important to get to know a little more about the people we follow, who offer reviews. Get than knee fixed ! Excited for the next upload !!!

Trail running wise, I was about to get 490 solid miles out of my first pair of Olympus 5’s. No sole delamination issues but I did have some upper and inner heel material tearing. Neither hindered performance. I will say the midsole wears in pretty well and almost forms a rocker vs being more flat overtime. I have 70 miles on my second pair already (ran back to back 50k’s out of the box) and so far those look great as well. The second pair came with a less rigid pair of laces. I love the extra volume these offer because my feet swell up a bit during ultras, so that was an amazing benefit.

Those are not rock climbing shoes. They are just trail runners.

Well, not wrong ha! I’m definitely using them outside their intended use, you are correct. Primarily I would be using these on the usual backpacking trail / hiking trail, and I’d like to see what they can take. But I need to make sure I don’t dismiss them because they aren’t rock climbing shoes that’s for sure… Thanks for checking out the vid!
