Sadly the Timp is too narrow for me. The Topo Pursuit 2 is on the list and I will try it as soon as I get my hands on a pair. I tried several Altras (Timp 6, Olympus 6, Mont Blanc, Olympus 275), but none was a match.
Final run with my Altra Mont Blanc..best trail shoes I've ever used! I've wore down the front tread down to nothing and had a really tough time yesterday on steep inclines in the pouring rain.
Any suggestions on another zero-drop with Vibram since the Mont Blanc is d/c'ed?
Never understood what you people do to your shoes to make them break so fast. My 300 km Mont blancs look brand new except the rubber ligs, and the latest three pairs of Altra that I retired all have more than 1000 km on them and none of them have torn uppers. For reference my only shoes that have tore in the upper are the Torin 6 after 600 km and the Topo Cyclone after 700 km, and some Mizuno and Hoka shoes I don't remember the names of.
What's wrong with the Mont Blanc's for this terrain? The MB series don't have aggressive lugs at all. If you're looking for comfort over speed, you could look for the Experience Wild 3 as well. I wore the original for the final 30 miles of Vermont 100 which was mostly country road with a bit of trail mixed in.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
