Product description






TIMP 5 | THIS IS TRAIL RUNNING
It’s grippy. It’s light. And it’s ready to get rowdy. This is trail running in the Timp 5. We built it with the same comfort you love but dropped a few ounces. With a lighter weight and grippier outsole, it’s ready for a full day of a full send. A new grippy outsole gives you the confidence to unlock the magic of rowdy terrain. According to Vibram, the Vibram Megagrip outsole offers unparalleled grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Stay comfortable on the toughest of trails with an updated Altra EGO MAX midsole foam compound. It’s designed for light and luxurious performance with a little extra bounce and added durability. Keep moving the way you were designed to. The Timp 5 gives you a roomy toe box with plenty of room for your toes to move freely, and zero drop, with a secure midfoot so you can make dust clouds. Jump rocks. Run forever.

OUR BRAND
Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE
Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION
Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.
