Thank you for your comment! I like my Lone Peak 4s for anything up to about 10 miles or so, though I’ve also done marathon distances in them. That said, the Olympus is so comfortable at any distance, and remains my favorite.
For day hikes, either will work well. Depending on the trail, the Lone Peaks will have better traction and technical ability, but overall it comes down to how much cushion you prefer. People have done long through hikes in both models (and plenty others, too) so you probably don’t need to worry about making a bad decision.
Thank you for the review. I have the Lone Peak 4, considering the Olympus for extra cushioning.

Thanks for the review. I'm considering this or the Lone Peak 4.5 for day hikes. I'm leaning towards the Olympus for the max cushioning.

Are these shoes slippery on wet pavements?
