I’m on year two of a pair of these and they are holding up great. https://www.altrarunning.com/en-us/trail/mens-timp-5-gtx/AL0A85Q1.html

I just bought the Altra Timp 5 GTX and I love them. The toe box is a little smaller than another pair I had but still a great fit. A

I’ve been wearing mostly hiking sneakers for the past few years. Usual downfall for me is really muddy or snowy areas. I got Altra Timp 5 GTX. They haven’t done me wrong in any conditions in the past 6 months. I would get another pair once these wear out.

I’m leaning towards the timps as I’m used to the lone peaks already.

Altra or the vans.  The rest are trash.

I'm running in Altra GTX with gators this winter. No waterproof shoes are not perfect but they are the best I've found for running in the winter slop.

This is why I dont understand a lot of the footwear I see people on trail up here with... toebox and weight. I picked up some goretex altras and have put about 10miles on them so far at bridal veil area. Also have 2 different sets of gaiters to try out on the way, one being the rain gaiters from zpacks. Even in the rocky desert I usually dont wear gaiters but I guess its time to learn to adapt to the muddy days.
