Altra Timp 5: All-Terrain Comfort Meets All-Day Confidence

From rolling fire roads to rugged mountain switchbacks, the Altra Timp 5 is designed to go wherever the trail leads — with soft, responsive cushioning, rock-solid grip, and a naturally supportive fit that keeps you moving comfortably for miles. Whether you’re logging long-distance efforts or casual trail runs, this versatile daily trainer delivers the protection and agility you need to handle it all.

At its core is the updated EGO™ MAX midsole, offering improved plushness without compromising responsiveness. With a 29mm zero-drop platform, it provides a balanced, cushioned ride that absorbs trail impact while encouraging a more natural foot strike. Whether you're grinding through climbs or cruising descents, the Timp 5 gives you the comfort and propulsion to keep going.

Underfoot, the new Vibram® Megagrip outsole is a game-changer. It offers sticky, confidence-inspiring tractionacross technical terrain, wet rock, loose dirt, and everything in between. Strategically placed flex grooves ensure that the outsole adapts to your stride, maintaining flexibility and smooth transitions throughout your run.

Up top, the breathable Quick-Dry Air Mesh upper molds comfortably to your foot, reinforced with lightweight TPU overlays for added security and durability. Altra’s Standard FootShape™ Fit provides a snug hold at the midfoot and heel, with extra room in the toe box to allow your toes to splay naturally — perfect for longer runs when feet tend to swell.

If you want a trail shoe that delivers trail protection, comfort, grip, and natural movement, the Timp 5 is your go-to choice for everyday trail adventures and beyond.
