DESCRIPTION

Trail enthusiasts, prepare to be thrilled by the Altra Timp 5, a shoe that's set to redefine expectations for aggressive trail running footwear. Engineered for the dedicated trail runner seeking an exceptional blend of cushioning and responsiveness, the Timp 5 is your go-to shoe for tackling short technical terrains and endurance challenges up to 100 miles.

At the heart of its design is the updated Altra EGO MAX midsole compound, offering a luxuriously cushioned ride that not only protects against the harshness of rugged trails but also provides a dynamic propulsion to navigate diverse landscapes with ease. This shoe promises not just to accompany you on your journey but to enhance your trail running experience at every step.

For the first time, the Timp family introduce a new Vibram Mega Grip outsole, a name for unparalleled traction. Whether you're ascending steep slopes, navigating slippery rocks, or speeding along fire roads, this outsole guarantees superior grip across all surfaces and conditions. Strategic flex grooves within the rubber enhance the shoe's adaptability, ensuring a consistently smooth ride regardless of the terrain beneath your feet.

Complementing its technical prowess is the breathable knit upper, designed to offer sustained comfort and ventilation throughout your runs.

The Timp 5 embraces Altra's "Standard" foot shape, striking an ideal balance with a secure midfoot fit and a spacious toe box, providing the perfect combination of stability and freedom for your feet.
