Our Take 

A lot of people like the feel of a trail runner for light to moderate hiking and we are big fans of brands that add a little bit more ankle height to what is otherwise a trail running shoe (think New Balance Hierro Mid and Hoka Speedgoat Mid).

For those looking for a zero drop foot shaped hiking shoe with moderate cushioning the Timp is a great option.  With Altra’s Ego™ Max midsole, a Gore-Tex® membrane and a Vibram® Megagrip outsole you can be confident that your feet will be happy no matter the terrain.
