The Timp 4 by Altra are neutral trail shoes. The fourth edition of the Timp has an upper made of quick-drying mesh, which surrounds the feet well. The upper is reinforced with overlays for extra strength and protection. The anatomical forefoot provides enough room for the toes to move freely. The lightweight Altra EGO MAX midsole provides effective cushioning and protection. It distributes pressure across your feet as you walk for a smooth stride. The MaxTrac outsole with coarse studs bites into soft surfaces and provides effective grip on paved trails. Altra's unique selling point is the Zero Drop technology. This is also reflected in this model of running shoes. The midsole is equally high at both the heel and the toe, which gives you the most natural running experience. The use of contemporary technology gives you targeted protection and support without getting in the way of your natural running pattern.
