"Women's Altra® Timp 6 Hiker GTX: The Altra® Timp 6 Hiker GTX is a women's waterproof hiking shoe built for hikers who want to cover real ground without carrying extra weight on their feet. Whether you're heading out for a quick trail loop or committing to a full day in the mountains, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper keeps moisture out while staying light and breathable - so your feet stay dry without feeling like they're wrapped in a plastic bag. The mid-ankle design adds support where you need it on uneven terrain, and the closed eyelet lacing locks the midfoot down for a secure, confident fit.Underfoot, the Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam gives you a cushioned, lively feel that holds up over long miles on the trail. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole bites into wet rocks, loose dirt, and everything in between - it's the kind of traction that makes you trust your footing instead of thinking about it. Altra's FootShape™ Fit gives your toes room to splay naturally, which matters on long descents when feet tend to swell and shift forward. If you use gaiters, the GaiterTrap™ hook-and-loop tab makes attachment simple without any extra hardware. The zero-drop platform keeps your foot in a natural position from heel to toe.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I took these out on a longer trail day with some wet sections and rocky switchbacks, and the GORE-TEX upper genuinely kept my feet dry the whole time. What I really noticed was how much room there is in the toe box - my feet never felt cramped even late in the hike when they started to swell. The Vibram outsole gripped well on wet rock, which is usually where I start second-guessing my footing."" - Sabrina, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, San Diego, CAWho It's Best ForIf you're a hiker who wants a lightweight, waterproof hiking shoe with real traction and a roomy toe box, the Timp 6 Hiker GTX is worth a close look.
