help Altra Timp 6 FAQ
What are the stack height and drop of the Altra Timp 6?
The Timp 6 has a 30 mm stack under both heel and forefoot, producing a 0 mm drop. It uses Altra's Standard FootShape fit rather than the brand's roomier Original shape.
Which outsole and midsole does the Timp 6 use?
It pairs an Altra EGO MAX midsole with a redesigned Vibram Megagrip outsole. This is intended to provide cushioned all-day trail comfort plus traction on wet and dry surfaces.
Is the Timp 6 a good first zero-drop shoe?
It provides substantial cushioning, but its heel and forefoot remain completely level. Runners moving from an 8 mm or 12 mm-drop shoe should transition gradually because the different geometry can load the calves and Achilles more heavily.
Can gaiters be attached to the Altra Timp 6?
Yes, the shoe includes Altra's GaiterTrap hook-and-loop attachment point. Compatible gaiters can be secured without wrapping a strap beneath the outsole.
