The American brand Altra was one of the most active and with the largest number of presentations during the The Running Event, not only of asphalt or trail shoes, but also with innovative mountain models as is the case of this new model, the Altra Timp Hiker.
And it is that these Altra Timp Hiker are walking boots designed for the most adventurous hikers. It is a lightweight design model that comes with the same essence as one of the most famous trail running models of the company, with versatility, lightness and safety as a main point.
The Altra Timp Hiker is a walking boots from Altra designed to provide ease of transition between all types of terrain, from the most compact and simple to the most rugged and technical.
This new model seamlessly combines a mid-ankle support design with a lightweight, breathable upper and thick, overlapping toe cap overlays for durability, stability and protection as you move as naturally as possible through the mountains.
These walking boots have a roomy toe cap, like many of the brand's running shoes and trail running running shoes, but ensure a secure fit in the middle of the boot to enhance stability and protection.
These walking boots also stand out for improving support thanks to a traditional lacing that wraps the foot completely, and for presenting the already characteristic 0 drop of many of Altra's models, this time on a 29-millimeter thick profile, perfect for keeping us protected from any foreign element or the harshness of the terrain.
The midsole incorporates one of the most popular and outstanding technologies of the brand, the Altra EGO Max foam compound that offers us great cushioning without penalizing them in weight as it is a very soft and light compound.
The outsole of the boot guarantees a great grip on both dry and wet surfaces thanks to the Vibram Megagrip compound that allows us to perform hiking routes on any type of terrain, from the simplest to the most technically complicated.
The Altra Timp Hiker are walking boots for men and women that are aimed at medium-high weight hikers. We are talking about a perfect model for the middle mountain, not so much for the high mountain, since it is not a rigid or semi-rigid crampon-compatible model. In short, a model that fits best with weight profiles even above 90 kilos whatever their experience in the mountains.
This is a very light boot, weighing only 343 grams in the men's version and 272 grams in the women's version, which is a real achievement for the mid-cut boot sector.
In short, this is a versatile model that will work best on compact and easy terrain, such as forest tracks or trails, but will also respond very well on more technical or even muddy surfaces thanks to a Vibram Megagrip outsole with high grip and traction. A very cushioned model with which to face a large number of hikes that is already available on the market since February 2024.
