Altra Timp Hiker

The Running Event has not only left us with asphalt or trail material, but has also surprised us, in the case of some brands such as Altra, with the most innovative mountain models. One of the walking boots prepared to make a splash in 2024 in Altra will be the Altra Timp Hiker.

And 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 for flag.

What are the expectations of the new Altra Timp Hiker?

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 steepest and most technical. We are talking about a very light version, weighing only 343 grams in the men's version and 272 in the women's, something really accomplished for the mid-calf boot sector.

The Vibram compound of the outsole will provide better traction and grip on all types of terrain. Undoubtedly, a compound that will be noticed, and will perfectly complement some of the most outstanding qualities already present in the shoe, such as its lightweight and breathable upper or its very comfortable midsole. These qualities are already present in the Altra Timp 4 trail running model.

For their part, 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 you protected from any foreign element or the harshness of the terrain.

Ideal profile of the Altra Timp Hiker

The Altra Timp Hiker is a men's and women's walking boots for medium to heavy hikers. We are talking about a perfect model for mid-mountain, not so much for the high mountain, as it is not a rigid or semi-rigid cramponable model. In short, a model that will fit best with weight profiles even above 90 kilos whatever their experience in the mountains.

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 will hit the market early this year, in February, and will go on sale for an approximate price of 175â¬.
