Altra

Timp 5 GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's

Would be great except ankle pressure

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The fit on my foot is excellent. As others have said, there is something about the design where it puts a lot of pain into one little spot on the bone in my ankle. Oddly enough, only on one foot - the other foot was fine.

So far, so good

I have worn these a few times. I like them so far. Very comfortable and my bunion has plenty of room. I haven't tested the waterproof part of it yet but will next time I'm on a true backpacking trip.

Well

1st I am a heavy set man my timp hiker gtx was bought for work they're light but very comfortable and water proof I really like these boots not too much cushion just enough great traction I've worn these almost every day M/F the heel of the soles are already breaking down I really hate that but very doubtful I will get 2 full months of use out of them before the start hurting my feet from the sole breakdown was really in hopes of a wonderful pair of boots yes I would recommend these boots to a non heavy weight person in a heart beat

Great Shoe

I suffer from foot pain and Altras have been the answer Im slowly replacing all athletic footwear to the brand . So happy also you are offering a hiking boot in ALL BLACK that I can wear in my profession, GAME CHANGER!!!!!!!!because Im i on my feet ALOT !!. I'm an outdoorsman and these shoes are so comfortable to walk in. Look forward to new styles , me and my feet Thank you Altra!!!!!

Thank You Altra For Making This Product

I have been hiking in Lone Peaks, buy they were not providing the cushion that I needed. I tried the Olympus, but they run small and ended up losing the skin and nail off one of my toes. I recently completed a 300 mile section hike of the AT and also did about 50 trail miles in the shoes to prep. I went across a lot of rock surfaces in NJ, NY, CT, and MA. These shoes served me well and I am glad that they are available, especially in the size (14) that I need. Thank you Altra for making this product and having the GoreTex version available.

Not waterproof or even that water resistant but comfy.

Mulit 10+ mile hikes in snow with gaiters and my feet were soaked. Should not advertise as waterproof, more water resistant than anything else. I have huge feet, great fit and very comfy otherwise.

Great overall

I am a LEO & just bought a pair of these. I love them. My only comment is that they are loud. I get they are hiking boots but I wish they could be made with a quieter sole for law enforcement purposes

Just meh...

For starters, I don't know if learning colors is hard or something for everyone who designed and green lit these shoes but they are not black. I've seen some reviews calling them gray or charcoal, which some of the material on the shoe is gray, but the rest of the shoe is clearly a dark navy color. Nothing black on these shoes at all. Thankfully I can still get away with dark navy at work so not a complete deal breaker but it's frustrating to see something as simple as color be marketed and labeled so incorrectly. Secondly I also experienced the issue with ankle pain from the tongue seam many other reviewers have complained about. It was tolerable for a shift, but I'll say I was quite relieved to take them off when I got home and don't really want to wear them again now. I'm hoping I can figure out a DIY modification to remedy this as there are several positives about the shoes. That covers the cons. As for the pros, the shoes are light weight, have great feeling soles that feel soft on the bottoms of my feet, and the outsoles provide great traction on a variety of surfaces. It's too soon to comment on durability but I expect top tier lifespan out of these for the type of shoe, price, and Altras reputation. Overall I'd say buy with caution with the above issues in mind. It is difficult for me to recommend these.
