Why We Like The Altra Timp 5 Trail Running Shoe
With max cush and now max grip, the Altra Timp 5 Trail Running Shoe has us eating up the miles. The platform's generous stack of high-energy, high-strength foam and its high-performance Vibram Megagrip rubber keep our strikes soft, spirited, and secure, while the roomy forefoot lets our toes splay naturally for stability and power, and the reinforced toe protects against premature blowouts.

I wish they are bigger
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We couldn't get this wonderful product. My husband is a size 16 shoe and the sizes only to up to 14. I'm sorry I selected it before going to the website the price is awesome too!

Very good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very comfortable! The durability while running with these is great! The fit is the only thing that was off on me. They were a tad bit too tight in the toe.

Durability issues... again
Long time Altra customer here. I was about to throw in the towel with Altra shoes after the last several pair of Olympus 5s I had purchased basically fell apart prematurely and soles started peeling off with less than 100 miles on them. I decided to give it one more go with the Timp 5 and was cautiously optimistic based on initial reviews and the website description that they were "ready to get rowdy" and "ready for a full send" on the "toughest of trails." I was generally pleased with them for the first month or so but then the uppers started fraying. And now, in less than 2 months since my purchase, and with about 200 miles on them, the cushioned heels are basically collapsed flat as a pancake. Sent my concerns to customer service and was informed it was 'normal wear and tear'. So, anyway...sure they can tolerate a "full send" on some tough trails for maybe 1-2 months and then they are pretty much done. I expect better durability and quality for the price.

Stylish and durable bottoms.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Altra Running Men's Timp 5 shoes are really sharp-looking, and I'm a big fan of the Vibram soles – they've proven to be super durable in my past experiences. They're fantastic for hiking, no doubt about it. Just a heads up though, they do run a tad small, so if your feet are on the wider side, you might run into some issues. Overall, they're a pretty nice and stylish option, offering a decent to high comfort level, depending on your foot shape. Surprisingly, I haven't swapped out the insoles yet, and my feet aren't hurting as much as they usually do in other shoes. That being said, my wider feet do feel a bit pinched, especially in the pinkies. I'm planning to switch out the insoles and see if that makes a difference. I'd suggest trying them out in person and making a decision then! All in all, though, they're still a solid choice for those looking for stylish and durable hiking shoes.

Great improvements over the Timp 4, but...
Altra has made some great improvements over the Timp 4. Durable materials, incredible base soles, a more comfortable fit. QA issues exist, we received the wrong size in the labelled box, the inner soles are molded incorrectly. The rubber base lugs are soft but they are wearing out quickly with street use. For trail use the base soles will last longer.

Great grip, great comfort
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are extremely comfortable! They don't squeeze my feet but stay on very snug. Also, they are extremely grippy, even when raining. Far more grip and way more comfy than most any other athletic shoe I've worn, mainly because of the fit around the foot.

Too spongy, not durable
I should start this review by saying that I dislike runners that try to create bounce. It feels like running in quicksand, it feels like there is a loss of energy, and it's tiring. Unfortunately, Altra's obsession (along with other brands) with trying create bounce and a cloud-like feel has resulted in a shoe that feels like quicksand. I've taken this shoe on a few 20+ mi trail runs so far. While the bounciness doesn't feel as sloppy as in some of the LPs I've tried, I think it is over-the-top. The Torin 7 has the perfect balance of give in the sole, and firmness so I can feel like I'm actually pushing off the ground. Altra should do the same with the next Timp. The midfoot feels very narrow. I have to tie these as loosely as possible. Otherwise, I start to not be able to feel my feet on runs. Finally, is this a trail running shoe? I had suspicions about its durability from the moment I took it out of the box, and those suspicions have been validated. It's only got a bit over 50 trail miles on it so far, but the fabric is already ripping in some places, and it looks like there's some delaminating happening on the toe box. All in all, this could be a good shoe if Altra doesn't try to make the next version a do-everything shoe. Is this a trail runner? A hiker? A road runner? Or just a lifestyle shoe for dads from Ohio? The brand needs to pick an audience and stick with it.

Love this show except.....
The shoe is very comfortable and was able to do a 50k out of the box with no issues. Great traction and fits my foot well. Switch from the Lone Peak to the Timp for the addition cushion for long runs. The only issue is the wrap around laminate from the toe box began separating on both sides after one run. Additionally, the material above the top eyelit rubbed all the way through the material. Love the shoe but cannot afford to have it fall apart after one long run. If that didn't happen this is a 5 star shoe for me.
