Altra Timp 5 Shoe
Some things get better with love and subtle enhancements, like hang-drying broken-in blue jeans or continuing to season a well-loved cast iron skillet. With regular but minor tweaks since 2018, the Altra Timp 5 is one of those things. This model has been gifted with the addition of Vibram's Megagrip rubber, known for its excellent traction in wet or dry conditions, and it could be argued that it's the finest outsole you could put under your feet. The updated Altra EGO™ MAX midsole provides an ideal balance between a plush and enjoyable ride while maintaining responsiveness for those longer mileage outings. Keeping with Altra's Standard FootShape™ fit, the upper of the Timp 5 accommodates a variety of foot shapes. Of course, the standard zero-drop platform, which encourages proper foot striking and form, stays. Designed for middle to long-distance trail runners who do it all, the Altra Timp 5 is the supreme option.
SkyRun Fit Tip - For the best fit, we recommend sizing up by ½ size if you are between sizes or need more volume.
- Vibram® Megagrip outsole is durable and offers excellent traction on dry and wet surfaces.
- The Altra EGO™ MAX midsole compound is an ideal split between plushness and performance.
- Altras Standard FootShape™ fit is the middle ground regarding toe box room and accommodates many different foot shapes.
- 29mm stack and 0mm heel-to-toe drop make for the ideal all-day shoe.
