help Altra Timp 5 BOA FAQ
How does the BOA system work on the Altra Timp 5 BOA?
The shoe replaces ordinary laces with a BOA dial-and-cable closure that can be tightened incrementally. This lets runners adjust the hold quickly without stopping to retie laces.
Is the Altra Timp 5 BOA a zero-drop trail shoe?
Yes, it uses Altra's Balanced Cushioning platform, placing the heel and forefoot at the same height. That geometry feels substantially different from an 8 mm-drop trail shoe such as the Salomon Sense Ride 5 GORE-TEX.
Does the Timp 5 BOA have Altra GuideRail support?
No, GuideRail is not a defining feature of the Timp 5 BOA. Its actual distinguishing features include the BOA closure, FootShape toe box, zero-drop platform, and Vibram Megagrip outsole.
Is the Timp 5 BOA suitable for wide feet?
Its FootShape design gives the toes more room to spread than many conventional trail shoes. The opening and BOA panel can still feel snug around some ankles, so trying the shoe on is preferable to choosing solely from the wide-looking toe box.
