Sturdy yet lightweight, the Altra Timp Hiker GTX Shoe gives us everything we need to bag peaks, explore forests, and navigate deserts. These hiking boots boast a breathable mesh upper with durable leather overlays to fight off abrasion, a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX Membrane that keeps us prepared for afternoon squalls, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole offers tacky traction through it all. Nothing compares to a good pair of hiking kicks.
