ALTRA
OLYMPUS HIKE LOW GTX 2



I came across an intriguing article online.
The piece focused on the work of "Bokka," individuals who carry food and supplies on their backs from the village to mountain huts.
Their handmade wooden-framed backpacks are stacked with towering cardboard boxes, sometimes weighing as much as an adult man—up to 100kg! These loads are carried solely by their bodies, step by step, up the mountain trails. As I read, I not only found answers to some lingering questions but also became fascinated by the gear these Bokka rely on.
Imagine gear capable of handling such immense weight, reducing physical impact, and gripping the ground securely to support every step forward.
For these grueling treks, their footwear of choice was the ALTRA OLYMPUS HIKE.
For anyone interested in these shoes, there couldn’t be a more convincing example.
Whether tackling extreme trails or challenging conditions, the trust Bokka place in the OLYMPUS HIKE is a testament to its unmatched reliability.
