80km/50mi Durability "Review" - Altra Olympus 6 GTX Mid

This is the state of the boots after 80km of alpine & forest Summer hiking over 5 days. I have been through 4 pairs of Altra runners, love them for their comfort and knew not to expect the durability of a traditional hiking boot. But looking at these Olympus I am particularly concerned for the life of this midsole, esp. considering their 250€ price tag.

Also couldn't lock my heel down, slid forward bumping my toes on descends and rubbed my heel bare, but that's a different story. Really sad, would have wished for these to be my choice where the Lone Peak 9+ don't suffice - I can't fit my feet into the widest traditional boots anymore.
