I have had these for two months. I love the comfort but the mesh on the sides is already peeling off and looks terrible.

I love this shoe - have worn heavily and now looking to replace! Great support and toe width. I have a nerve issue in my foot and these are the only shoes I want to hike in.

I wanted to love this shoe! I ordered a half size up and it fit perfectly. The shoe was really comfortable but unfortunately the tongue cut into my ankle. I decided to return it because if this.

I have a pair I run in and a pair I wear out and about. I love this shoe. I love the cushion it provides for the gravel road I regularly run on. I'll continue to buy it as long as they continue to make it.

I wear a 12 in Altra and bought these on sale. They arrived today and I couldn't get my foot in them. My niece who wears a 10 came over and they fit her perfectly so guess who has a new pair of shoes? (We checked inside the shoe and they are labeled 12). Otherwise cute shoe. She's a nurse and had wanted a thick-soled shoe so she's happy with them.

I bought this shoe last fall last year. I did not wear them much this winter as I live where it snows and don't run in the winter. I really like the fit of this shoe however I have not worn them that much this spring and the material on the outside of the right shoe has split. I also agree with the complaint of the tongue does cut into the ankle.

I have been wearing Altras for over a decade; for running, hiking, work, and travel. The past 1-2 years I noticed poor quality in the materials of a new version of the same model, sloppy tongues and short shoelaces that easily come untied. Not to mention unattractive colors. The TIMP 4 fits me better than any Altra I have purchased during the past several years. No sloppy tongue that doesn't stay in place, wide enough toe box without looking like an old ladies shoe. I purchased 2 additional pair because the TIMP 5 is already out and the reviews aren't encouraging. Altra, thank you for listening to customer feedback. My feet and I are happy.

I sized up 1/2 size, I will wear with heavier socks for trails/hiking
Altra Timp and Lonepeak fan
Perfect. I'm a lonepeak gal (backpacked 12 mile days in them) but these are that but more cushion and a tiny more support.I bought three pairs of this Timp style and might get more since styles change. I love these so much I wear them all day in house and all around. I forget they are on my feet they are so comfortable. I've bought about 30 pairs of Altras over the years. Everybodies feet are different so reviews are iffy. But these fit me so well. There's a Timp hiking boot that I want to try but the reviews aren't great. But they aren't great for these yet I'm in love with these. So everyone is different...guess I'll try the Timp Hiking boot next!

Altra has been my go to shoe for years until now. Prior styles had a wide toe box & gave me comfort with enough cushion but was still flexible. the design has changed and it's horrible, disappointed!

I was excited to try Altra shoes because I've heard great things about their comfort for walking. These shoes are just OK. Not super comfortable. Not worth the price. Based on the other reviews, things have changed. I tested about 4 other pair and they were either too wide, narrow, or uncomfortable. This is the one that fit and I wish I would have returned them, too, because they're not great. There aren't many options for standard width and high cushion, and forget it if you want a weatherproof shoe. Apparently only wide feet don't need water in their shoes.

I have always been a size 7 in the Altra shoes, but this style runs small. I've decided to return the shoe and not replace it, because the shoe reinforcement does not cover where my toe hits the top of the shoe (highlighted in the photo here). I have bunions and my big toe angles abnormally. I am concerned about the potential wear and tear from my big toe.

I love so many things about this shoe: the fabric, the lovely green/peach color, zero drop soles, room for my toes (I wear toe spreaders), but sadly, Altra still just hasn't figured out women's feet. Timps are the only Altra the back half of my feet doesn't slosh around in, but even with these the heel is still very loose and I have to tighten the laces like crazy in the mid-foot to get them hang on my feet at all. I do not have especially narrow feet and Altras are the only running shoe brand that is so off in the fit for me. I'm also a former bare-footer, so would prefer a more minimal, less padded shoe than the Timp, but all other Altras with less padding are like clown shoes on me. I tossed my Escalantes after twisting my ankle from sloshing around inside the shoe. The length of these and all Altras tends to be too short and much too wide. On a quality note: the inside back of Timps tends to wear out in very quickly, but I think that's at least partly because my heels have been rubbing all that time. Hope Altra figures out a shoe that fits women's feet some day. I love the concept, but just can do that ultra-wide mid-foot/heel-slosh thing. The fit may work for someone else, especially if you have very wide, short feet or are a guy.

I ran in the Timp 3 for several years (purchased a few pairs initially). Loved the timp 3 but unfortunately the Timp 4 had a design change in the tongue of the shoe and it cuts into the front of my ankle. Doesn't work for me since I wear low rise socks. Not sure how this design passed quality control but hope they change it back to the old style next time around as Altras are the only shoes I wear because i need zero drop.
Dawnie
I'm an avid walker and on my feet for long hours and love the Altra's for toe space even though I have a more narrow foot however, the Timp 4 or the brand new Timp5 is no comparison to the Timp3! Please bring back the Timp3!!!
