Reading this discussion of Timp sizing I'm finding much that differs from my experience with Altra shoe sizes and models. Between my lady and myself, we have purchased nearly 3 grand in Altra shoes so far this year. Instead of refuting others here I'll just give you my experience with models and sizes: I wear a 9.5 in lone peak 3.5, a 9 in lone peak 4, an 8.5 in Escalante 1.0, a 9.5 in King MT 1.0, and a 9 in all four pair of my Timps. Timps run long and wide in the toe box. They stretch in both width and length. The shoes' toe end is soft, and even in steep descents I never feel any discomfort on my big toes. The beauty of Timps is there cushiness without loss of side support, your foot doesn't tend to roll while sidehilling like with the Olympus model. So, if you own or tried one of these Altra models you have a comparison to help determine your Timp sizing. I have been a solid size 9 in most other brand shoes, and I think Altra's latest offerings run true to size.

Hi AltraRunner,
Thank you for the reply, and the effort you have made to satisfy my request! I have looked at the Running Warehouse, and indeed they do have men's size 12.5 in 3 colours (1 each of red, blue, and chive - I like that colour!) Unfortunately, when the combined total of their price, shipping charge to Canada, and a credit I have here at Massdrop is added together they become about $40 more expensive (not including tax, duty, exchange rate etc.) I will hold off for now, and wait for another one of your drops to appear...

mdiuGreat for every day use but be aware that the traction will wear down quicker. I’d reccomend the Torin for every day use

Sizing, I have lonepeaks 3.5 size mid mesh 13,lp3 neoshell mid size 13, Olympus 3 size 13 and Timp size 12 (my first pair) and size 13. A size 12 Timp is wider than a lonepeak 3.5 or Olympus 3. However toes will hit the end. Fyi I wear a 12 in nb asics Nike timerland etc. I have wide feet. If you own lonepeaks buy same size. If your new to Altra size up. If your a hiker u want the extra toe room for down hills and foot swelling. Timps are wide. They are my favourite altras. Also my sides split on the 12 and I sewed them at a boot/key place and they have been fine since. The split due to me laying on concrete and working. They are not as robust as the LP, but they are nicer to wear.

Callax8Indeed it is Callax8! Technically speaking all Altra are neutral : )

I’ve got the Altra Escalante size US10.5, which fits me perfectly. Should I size up for this Timp as several have suggested?

I'm considering upping the size to 11 to play it safe. 10.5 on the Escalante is just fitting, so perhaps I should add a little buffer since the Timp's upper mesh is likely less comfy/soft than the Escalante's. Hopefully someone with lots of Altra shoes can shed some wisdom before the drop ends!

ThongsterI own a version of Altra Escalante in size US9 which fits perfectly, and I own Altra Superior 3.0 in size US9, who feels slightly smaller since they bring some sort of a stiched toe-guard, while the Escalante's upper is very stretchy. On the flats this is fine, however, every time I run down a mountain, I can feel how my toes hit the hard upper a little bit, which isn't the case in Escalante.
Be aware, that Altra Timps use the same performance last shape as Escalantes and Superiors (PFS2-M last). Technically, their foot shape is the same. Just be aware, that Timps also have a bit of rubber arround the toe area. I'd recommend sizing up half a size, if you plan to do mountain running and/or hiking in the timps.

As a matter of sizing comparison, I wear a 12.0 in the Lone Peak 4 and a 12.0 in the Timp Trail. They fit the same.

Good question. Over the years, I've worn 11.5 in Montrail, Hoka, New Balance, and Inov8. You'll probably want to size up 1/2 size. Altra recommends that you have 2/3" space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Altra customer service told me that each 1/2 size is 1/4".

Gentle_Jack_JonesThanks! I emailed Altra and they suggested that this shoe would fit true to size, but that doesn't seem to be what you and others are saying.

I am a fan of how Altra shoes fit and the cushioning. These may be the most comfortable I have ever owned. They also wore out the quickest.
