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

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
3 in rotation. Brooks Caldera for most of my trail runs; a pair of Timp 4’s hybrid road/trail (bumped down from 1st string once the tread started to wear) and Solomon Speed Cross for extra traction when it’s wet (rare, since I’m running in the Sierra foothills mostly).
Thanks! What are they like in mud? I’m a bit wary of the quality of Altra these days. The soles on my Torins lasted 800km and the Timp 4s wore out after 500km.
Love love my Altra Timp 4 - bought 2 pair before they completely ran out online. Timp 5 and 6 sadly VERY disappointing. Why change a good thing? Anyone have a very gently used womens 7.5 or 8 the want to get rid of?
I feel this — wore the Timp 4 for years. I bought up every pair I could find in my size when I saw they updated them. I’ve got one last fresh pair in the closet … it’s going to be a sad day when I bust open that box.
They look exactly like mine! So good for long slow runs. I wondered if I had got lucky that all parts of the shoe gradually died at the same rate.
My LP6's and Timp 4's are awesome on wet rock

Spacious toe box, but cushioning and durability are polarizing.

La Sportiva
Prodigio Series
Great technical grip, but unstable for some, with sizing issues.

Nike
Pegasus Trail Series
Versatile for non-technical trails, but poor on wet, technical.

Lightweight, cushioned; but lacing and underfoot protection are issues.
