Pros and Cons of Extra Shoe Length, and Altra Timp 5

[@jaymueller2418]

Solid piece, Matt.

The Timp 5s are on my wish list for this year

Thanks for the advices also I would like to say that if you are an heavy runner starting your journey in running, it would be good to a slightly longer shoe since the feet (at least with me it does) it gets quite longer during the running, for example after a 30 minutes of zone two and three with a cadence of 160 170 steps per minute my feet gets over 1 cm longer while statically it measure 27 cm it gets slightly longer than my altra escalante 3 which are 28 cm (i guess its size ten in the us). I would love to try the lone peak and based iìin what you are sying I will get it size 10 instead of 10 and a half as i did with the rivera 3. When you start do discorver your feet trying trying different type of shoes is actually fun :D.

Are these long, or just long relative to other Altras? I need a 12.5 in the last few versions of Timps and Lone Peaks, but I’m a 12 in Topos, and most other shoes. Perhaps this is just Altra right-sizing this model?

[@LancePeterman]

I think it may be Altra, somewhat. I wear a number of their models and almost 100% of the time I go a half size up to 11 (I'm usually between 10-10.5).

If they could just be consistent across their own range it would be a start and then consistent with others would be a bonus!

My feet both measures a 10 on the brannock and a 10.5 in the timp 5 is perfect

[@I_0..0_I]

Think compared to altra and the biomechanics that they induce. For running I always get one size bigger shoes and with the escalante after running my index toe could touch the exremities (mind me I am way overwight and working on it). So it makes sense that they made it just a iny bit longer. I wonder if they are doing the same on all the range or just the lone peaks.

Please look at merrell morphlite 100 bucks like 6.5 oz in women’s sample size and road to trail please

Hows the heel fit? I haven't been able to get a good heel lock in the last 3 versions of the timp.

[@BloopsnBleeps]

I tried them on today and they feel great. Haven't run in them yet but initial impressions are good
