Why We Like The Timp 3 Trail Running Shoe

Not much about huge training days, 30-mile races, and grueling terrain screams "comfort", but when we're with the Altra Timp 3 Trail Running Shoe, at least our feet are immune to the pain as they dart and weave over technical trails. Created with Altra's foot-forward design, this dedicated trail shoe has been updated with a softer and more flexible midsole, as well as a new multi-directional mesh upper. The result is a smoother ride all around, with greater underfoot comfort and a flexible yet secure fit that adapts to your foot's movements as you run.


Details

  • Four-point gaiter compatibility keeps out dirt and small rocks
  • Zero Drop platform promotes a healthy and natural stride

Best shoe ever

I am sad they no longer make this shoe. It has been the best fit and feel I have ever experienced. None of the new shoes they make feel as good as this one and I have tried them all. This shoe was a masterpiece.

A tighter, cushier lone peak

I use for walking, easy jogs, day hikes, light gym use and all around town and country beaters. Lighter, tighter, more durable and more padded compared to my experience with lone peaks (have had at least 8 pairs). If lone peaks too harsh, too heavy and too floppy in the toe box, give these a try. They look good too (for altras).

A fail for Altra

This review isn't much different than others. I have a half dozen pairs of Altra and love them, but with this redesign of the TIMP, Altra lost their way. Wide in the heel, and narrow in the mid foot, and at the toes. It's a reasonably comfortable pair of shoes but not the Altra design that you need if you have foot problems. Can't recommend these.

I would like to buy this again....butttttt

These things are/feel amazing....if you're not planning on running more than 50 miles. I destroyed the first pair after two runs. The glue came undone. Sent them back. Blew up the 2nd pair in 4 runs.

Lost what worked

I loved the Timp 1/1.5, My favorite shoes!! I prefer the additional cushion over the lone peak, which I also like. Sadly, Timp 2 became a tight, narrow shoe, losing the whole point of Altra's brilliant design. I waited, hoping the Timp 3 would be better. There are minor improvements with Timp 3, but still tight and low cut. My foot aches as I write this and I've decided that I have to be done with a relatively new pair of Timp 3's. Frustrating! Please bring back the good qualities of the earlier Timps.

Not like my other altras. Not a fan.

I am an Altra-ite through and through. In the last three years I've purchased and used at least 8 of their shoes. Primarily I run trails but also some road work here and there. I mostly use superiors, but also some Rivera, Escalante racer, and Lone peaks. I have run a 50k in their lone peaks and wanted a little more cushion once I got past mile 25 so I thought I'd try the timps. I had read a lot of reviews on different sites and had mixed feelings about them. I really wanted this shoe to work. To give it credit, walking in it feels fine so hiking might be good. My feet definitely felt less of the rocks and roots and I think it would have done well for the distance in that regard. But there are other issues like my feet going numb (despite different lacing styles and tensions) and it just feeling tight. I tried them on in a store and it didn't seem to bother me, went with the larger size of the two I tried, but ordered from altra directly since The store didn't have the color I wanted. Out of the box they are nice looking and I was eager to use them. In the end I hated running in them. Felt too tight and feet rejected them within just a few miles. If the lone peak came in a slightly thicker version that would be incredible. For now I'm experimenting with adding the new skinny rock guards in my lone peaks and that seems to be good so far.

Timp 2 review, but similar

Over 400 miles on Timp 2s. Maybe these shoes just happen to fit me perfectly, but I've never worn a pair of shoes that facilitate neutral, mid-sole running as Timps have. Completely even wear.

Timp 1.5 was great all subsequent models are sub standard

Timp 2.0 is very small footbed and extremely tight on upper shoes. Got blisters on my first run , my Achilles hurt very bad. Will return if possible or toss shoe!! I switched to Lone Peak and was very happy again

Small toe box !!

I bought women's 8 1/2 sized Timp 3's and men's Timp 3's size 7. The women's has a nice roomy toe box but the men's is so much smaller and tight in the toe box area. Makes no sense. I sent the Men's Timp 3 back. So confusing.
