If you’re a fan of the unique BOA lacing system or have a notion to try it, Altra has included it on its new Timp 5 BOA trail runner.
This updated trail running shoe has additions to the lacing system, midsole and outsole that fine tune the fit, cushion and grip.
“The Timp 5 and the entire Timp family have become true brand and consumer favorites, and we’re proud of the time we’ve spent refining them over the years,” said Alex Lind, Product Director at Altra. “The Timp 5 BOA builds on the success by incorporating BOA Fit System, along with an updated outsole and midsole. We were fortunate to work locally with BOA, which is located close to our office in Denver. This allowed for more collaboration and quicker refinements, ensuring that we were delivering the best possible product. With this approach, we are able to iterate and elevate one of our most beloved trail styles.”
