The i-Run team says
The Altra Timp 5 shoe for women presents itself as a comfortable and versatile pair capable of accompanying you on all your trails over any distance. You approach your next training session with peace of mind on the trails.
Altra Timp 5: For which type of athlete, what usage, what distance, and what surface?
This shoe is designed for different profiles of trail runners, whether they are beginners, intermediates, or advanced. For those new to zero drop, which is emblematic of Altra, it is necessary to transition gradually to avoid any risk of injury.
It is recommended for your regular training sessions at a low to moderate pace and proves effective over all distances.
Versatile, this model easily accompanies you on your favorite trails, from simple paths to technical terrain in the mountains.
Altra Timp 5, what usage?
+ Focused on comfort and grip, the Timp 5 promises a smooth transition from road to mountain during your trail outings on all types of terrains. Whatever your needs, it lightly accompanies you to the summits.
- This trail model is not designed for your road running sessions; for this purpose, you should choose the Altra Torin 7.

Technologies
-
Zero Drop
Flat cushioning. The Zero Drop platform offers total cushioning and places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground. This natural balance helps keep the feet, back, and body posture aligned to minimize shocks. Additionally, the Achilles tendon and lower calf muscles, weakened by wearing running shoes with elevated heels, are strengthened.
-
Foot-Shaped Toe Box
The FootShape toe box allows the toes to spread naturally and comfortably while keeping the big toe straight. This improves stability and increases the propulsion strength of the toes, optimizing running performance.
Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
-
Balanced Cushioning
The Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at the same height from the ground. This natural base helps to properly align the body, maintain better form, and promote low-impact ground contact.
-
Vibram Megagrip
The Vibram MEGAGRIP sole provides excellent grip properties on all types of terrain, especially on slippery surfaces, and high durability.
-
Altra EGO MAX
The new Altra EGO MAX foam ensures superior performance with an extra touch of bounce. New premium lightweight foam for optimal cushioning.
-
FootShape Medium Fit / Standard Fit
Shape and design halfway between a classic fit and a tailored fit.
