Terrible Quality | Doesn’t Stand By Their Product.

Purchased in February and fabric tearing less than 4 months later. Worn casually as office shoes and never on a trail. Altra won’t stand behind their product because they weren’t purchased from an “Authorized” dealer. Buyer beware these won’t last.

Needs Improvement!

I really like the fit of the Timp series of trail shoes and use them for my morning walks on dirt roads and walking paths. I've been wearing Timps since the version 2. I was able to get rid of the PF after switching to Altra and using cork insoles. I've really gotten used to the wide toe box and overall comfort of this line of shoes; however, I haven't gotten used to the poor durability of the shoes. I've gotten holes in the inside of the heel area even with a good heel lock. I switched from wool-blend socks to fully synthetic ones, which didn't slow the premature wear of the lining. The soles also wear out rather quickly and there is too much exposed EVA where sharp pebbles and goat heads get stuck. Sometimes you can feel the rocks if they make contact with the EVA in the heel area of the sole. I really like the fit and comfort of the Timps but wish Altra would improve the durability of the uppers and use more rubber in the soles. There is only one other brand besides Altra that has a wide toe box, but I've yet to try their trail running shoes. I'd like to remain an Altra customer, but the quality needs to go up and not just the price.

Terrible Quality At Heel Area

These shoes are both less than 3 months old. They wore through very quickly in less than 60 miles. I have had a pair of Altra Lone Peak 9+ that are over a year old and they have zero issues. Something was clearly wrong in the type of internal fabric that Altra decided to use as opposed to other lines of shoes. Sadly I see quite a few reviews where Altra has refused warranty coverage on this shoe.

Too Small, Bad Fit - Not Like Classic Altras

If you like the fit of classic altras e.g. Lone Peak, don't buy these. If you're a narrow footed person these might be for you. Altras have amazing grip so could be worth you trying out. I am returning my Timps and keeping the Lone Peaks I purchased at the same time.

Upgrade From Timp 4

Decent upgrade from the timp 4. Seems more durable so far after 1 month of use. Toe box is still narrow meaning 1/2 size up is a must.
