Providing soft moderate-to-high cushioning responsive performance and confident traction the Altra Running Women's Timp 1.5 trail running shoe checks all the boxes for long-distance running and everyday trail training.
As with all Altra Running shoes the Timp 1.5 has a FootShape toe box that differs greatly from the aggressive taper of traditional running shoes. This design lets your big toe remain in a straight position while allowing your other toes to spread naturally. This broader cut reduces the risk of bunions hammer toes and plantar fasciitis. The shoe also utilizes a Zero Drop platform (height of the heel and the forefront are the same) that encourages a natural stride rather than elevating the heel or manipulating foot position. This is meant to promote better alignment and a more natural posture while on the move which in turn lessens impact.
A quick-drying upper is constructed of multi-directional mesh so you enjoy flexibility breathability and a forgiving fit. It has enhanced durability at the toe and heel and strategic overlays bolster overall durability and enhance midfoot supportiveness. An integrated 4-point GaiterTrap allows for the easy attachment of Altra gaiters (sold separately). A deep EVA foam midsole delivers comfort while still providing responsiveness.
The shoe has a stack height of 29 mm and weighs in at just over 1 pound 1 ounce per pair. The DuraTread rubber outsole with canted TrailClaw metatarsal lugs provides reliable traction on varied terrain.
Sold in pairs and your choice of color options the Altra Running Women's Timp 1.5 trail running shoe is available in women's full and half sizes.
