Why We Like The Altra Timp Hiker
With more hikers choosing trail running shoes, Altra added an ankle collar to its cushy Timp trail runner to create the Timp Hiker. This mid-cut reduces our need for a gaiter to seal out mud, snow, and trail debris while letting us enjoy Altra's trifecta of zero drop/balanced cushioning, a gender-specific fit, and a Footshape Fit with extra room in the toe box to let them splay out naturally. With a 29mm stack height, the Timp is a high-cushion hiker that's designed to help us stride more naturally on our hikes or winter trail runs.

This is the one for me!
I think Altra has finally "nailed it" with this hiker. I have been wearing various Alta lone peaks for years and most (not all) of them were pretty good. Now that I am getting older my feet need a little more cushioning when hiking .These Timp hikers are the perfect answer. I only have about 20 miles on these but I have found the toe box to be roomy, the heel secure ,extra padding welcome and the new sole quite good. Time will tell about durability. positive- The sole is noticeably grippier than the lone peaks...I think it is a good improvement overall. Fit and cushioning. Secure fit with roomy toe box. neutral- Feel is still there but slightly less than Lone Peaks. negative- No gator trap and loop. Why not put this on the hikers Altra !? ...I miss it!
