Don’t worry about the trails. Let the trails worry about you. The Altra Timp 5 is designed to give you superior cushion, traction, and durability on trails of all stripes, from relatively well-manicured rail trails and fire roads to rugged, rocky mountain trails.

EGO Max cushioning provides a soft ride with enough responsiveness to keep you moving forward. An all-new Vibram Megagrip outsole is made from sticky rubber that ensures grip in both wet and dry conditions, and strategically-placed flex grooves make for a trail running shoe adaptable to all kinds of terrain. 

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

Trail runners know that not all trails are created equal. They range from well-groomed rail trails that are basically soft roads to rocky mountain passes that require maximum traction and protection. You could equip yourself with a different shoe for each kind of terrain, or you could lace up the workhorse Altra Timp 5 and not worry too much about it.

The Altra Timp 5 has plenty of soft and responsive EGO Max cushioning in the midsole to protect your legs from both rocks and abusive miles. A grippy Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole ensures sure footing on all surfaces in all conditions. The Altra Timp 5 might just be the only trail running shoe you’ll ever need.

WHAT’S NEW:

The Altra Timp 5 comes with an all-new Vibram Megagrip outsole, made from sticky rubber for excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces. With the quality of a Vibram outsole, you can also expect increased durability across all terrain. An updated EGO Max compound in the midsole provides a more stable ride than previous versions with the responsiveness to propel you through the trails.

WHO THESE SHOES ARE FOR:

• Trail runners of all abilities.
  
  
• Casual hikers looking for a lightweight shoe with good traction for weekend day hikes.
  
  
• Runners who run on a variety of trail surfaces.

WHAT'S IN THESE SHOES:

• EGO Max – Light and soft midsole foam provides a cushioned ride with a touch of responsiveness. 
  
  
• Vibram Megagrip – sticky rubber provides excellent traction and durability on all terrain.
  
  
• Standard FootShape Fit – Altra’s medium-width last that follows the shape of your foot and gives your toes room to spread out.
  
  
• GaiterTrap – allows runners to attach trail running gaiters to the shoe.
  
  
• Balanced cushioning – zero-drop midsole positions the foot for a natural footstrike.

HOW THEY FIT:

• SIZE: True to size
  
  
• HEEL: Locked in (padded tongue provides a cushioned and secure fit)
  
  
• MIDFOOT: Moderate (engineered mesh upper provides a structured, yet adjustable, fit through the midfoot)
  
  
• FOREFOOT: Roomy (Altra’s Standard FootShape leaves plenty of wiggle room in the toe box)

HOW THEY COMPARE TO OTHER SHOES:

• CUSHION: The Altra Timp 5 has a moderate level of soft cushioning. For a less cushioned option, we recommend the Altra Lone Peak 8. For even more cushion, we recommend the Altra Olympus 5.
  
  
• PRONATION: The Altra Timp 5 doesn’t have any stability features to address overpronation. For a more stable shoe, we recommend the Altra Paradigm 7, though you may want to stick to the roads!
  
  
• SPEED: The Altra Timp 5 has too much soft cushion to really go fast. For faster trail running, we recommend the Altra Mont Blanc.
  
  
• OTHER BRANDS: Shoes from other brands similar to the Altra Timp 5 are the Hoka Speedgoat 5, New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7, and Craft Endurance 2 Trail.
