Altra Timp 5 Hiker GORE-TEX Walking Boots
For hikers wanting to hit the tougher trails without the worry of poor weather, the Timp 5 Hiker GORE-TEX will keep feet dry and comfortable.
GORE-TEX Upper
To ensure feet remain dry, yet cool and cosy in constantly changing weather, the Timp 5 Hiker GORE-TEX utilises a combination of breathable mesh, alongside a GORE-TEX upper. These technical materials ensure optimised comfort and a distraction-free experience. To prevent overheating, the boots allow a constant supply of air to flow freely through the materials, keeping them fresh and comfortable from start to finish. Thick TPU overlays around the toes add more durability and protection in high-wearing areas, to keep feet shielded from knocks, bumps and grazes on the trail. The boots utilise Altra's Standard Footshape Fit toe box which encourages the toes to relax and spread naturally, whilst allowing the big toe to remain in a straight position. This also enhances stability during uphill climbs and downhill descents when out on challenging trails whilst creating powerful toe-offs to maximise performance. The GORE-TEX materials prevent feet from getting wet and uncomfortable when the weather takes a turn for the worse, for confident, cosy adventures. Additionally, the materials have moisture-wicking properties to further prevent feet from becoming uncomfortable and reduce the amount of sweat or moisture build-up to keep feet dry. The mid-height collar and soft tongue prevent irritation or chafing from occurring and prevent dirt or debris from entering the boots. Finally, the boots have a traditional lace-up system that prevents in-shoe slipping from occurring.
Altra EGO MAX Midsole
The Timp 5 Hiker GORE-TEX utilises Altra's own EGO MAX midsole compound to ensure an extremely lightweight, luxurious level of performance, with added bounce for outstanding cushioning and in-shoe comfort. This soft compound prevents the risks of distraction or discomfort alongside a Balanced Cushioning that places your forefoot and heel at the same distance from the ground, therefore keeping your foot in a natural position and providing a low-impact landing, to protect your joints.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
To ensure unparalleled grip and traction across a variety of surfaces and multiple terrains, the Timp 5 Hiker GORE-TEX utilises a Vibram Megagrip outsole compound. This is a high-performing rubber outsole which adapts well to the ground you're traversing across, and works to form a solid bond with the surface below, to keep you in control of your adventures, and keeping things as lightweight as possible. Adorning the outsole are deep lugs that provide an optimised grip, ensuring a stable base even in muddy conditions.
