Altra Timp 5 BOA Shoe

Like the delicate ecosystem of the Florida Everglades, BOAs are invading the world of running shoes. Some things that seemingly don't belong do, and Altra has not only welcomed but has embraced this invasive species in the racier Timp 5 BOA. This iteration retains the features and technologies that made us love the laced Timp 5, namely the cushy yet responsive EGO™ MAX midsole foam and the Vibram Megagrip outsole - the paragon of rubber compounds for getting up, down, or across mountains. Thanks to the added BOA dial system, the shoe can be locked down onto various foot shapes, providing a precision fit whether your foot is skinny like a Barbados thread snake or as wide as a well-fed reticulated python. Altra's zero-drop platform encourages a natural running form that reflects how humans evolved to run without fancy-pants EVA foam high-heels.

SkyRun Fit Tip - The Timp 5 Boa fits true to US sizes.

• BOA PerformFit Wrap closure system allows for micro adjustability and conforms smoothly to diverse instep profiles.
• Vibram Megagrip is the gold standard for reliable traction.
• EGO™ MAX midsole adds cushion without subtracting energy, keeping you moving mile after mile after mile.
• The Standard FootShape™ fit has a roomy toebox, which allows for splay and accommodates feet that may not fit well into other shoes.
