The Timp 5 offers significant improvements , providing better energy return, reduced foot fatigue, and superior grip.

Altra says: 

It’s grippy. It’s light. And it’s ready to get rowdy. This is trail running in the new Timp 5. We built it with the same comfort you love but dropped a few grams. With a lighter weight, deliver an all-day full send on the trail. A new grippy outsole gives you the confidence to unlock the magic of rowdy terrain. According to Vibram®, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole offers unparalleled grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Stay comfortable on the toughest of trails with an updated Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam compound. It’s designed for light and luxurious performance with a little extra bounce and added durability. Keep moving the way you were designed to. The new Timp 5 gives you a roomy toe box and zero drop, with a secure midfoot so you can make dust clouds. Jump rocks. Run forever.

Our Verdict

Those seeking a more cushioned, robust alternative to Altras flagship Lone Peak may find the Timp 5s a worthy alternative, as they offer significant improvements in the midsole and sole. In comparison to the Lone Peaks' 25mm stack height, the Timp's 29mm stack height and updated EGO MAX midsole provide better energy return, resulting in a more cushioned and bouncy step, similar to that of the Hoka Speed Goat. This reduced foot fatigue, especially on longer road sections and compact trails.

Another notable upgrade is the Vibram sole, which replaces the previously used MaxTrac sole. The Vibram sole offers superior grip and durability, performing well on various terrains and in wet or dry conditions.

In terms of fit, the Timp's toe box is more "natural" than the Lone Peaks, resulting in a slightly narrower fit. Based on feedback from others, including Altra themselves, it is recommended to consider sizing up in the Timp about half a size.

While the Timps are not as comfortable out of the box as the Lone Peaks, adjustments can be made to achieve a more customized fit. The laces can be adjusted, and the upper eyelets can be utilized to fine-tune the fit. Once adjusted, the Timp's are incredibly comfortable.
