Underfoot Feel

Altra's EGO™ MAX midsole is lightweight and provides a lot of cushioning. This will help with underfoot comfort, especially on harder sections of ground.

In comparison to the Timp 4, the Timp 5 has a new outsole. This new outsole is Vibram™ Megagrip: an outsole offering incredible grip on both wet and dry surfaces. 

The midsole and outsole create a great combination of comfort and performance.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
