I've got about 100 miles, including the entire Foothills trails, on my Timp 5s and I'm finding that they're the best Altras I've used. I've wanted a wide toe box, zero drop shoe that also has a little more mid sole rigidity than the Lone Peaks and the Timp 5s do the trick. I'd imagine people who have really wide feet might find the Timps a little narrow for their taste but for my fairly average width feet, with almost no arch to speak of, the Timps are ideal. Durability in those 100 miles has been pretty good as well.
@pilgrimultralight Thanks for sharing your experience with them. It's great to hear they've been working well for you. They are definitely on the narrower side, but I've been finding them to still work well for me. I've been liking how secure and stable they feel. I'm looking forward to continuing to use them and seeing how they hold up for me as well.
I just got these about 3 weeks ago and i have about 35 miles on them too. I still have my timp 2 shoes and alternative but i am happy enough to use the 5 for good now. I liked the timps because they are middle of the road. I tried all three of them on and went back to the timps. Olympis felt a little too heavy for me too and lone peaks not enough cushion. Good luck this weekend. Im going to try it if they let me in because they closed sign up really fast, like 3 days i think.
Awesome! I've been enjoying them so far and have decided to use them for the A100 instead of my Lone Peaks I had planned on using. I still prefer the Lone Peak overall (it's been my favorite shoe over the years), but the extra cushion and traction will be nice for the long days ahead and what looks to also now be wet out there. Thanks so much! Wishing you the best too if you get a chance to get out there.
