Men's Timp 5 BOA

The BOA dial is a game-changer for me since I can fine-tune the fit mid-run without stopping, and that Vibram outsole has tackled slick trails without slipping once. I forgot I was wearing them on a rocky descent, which says a lot for how cushioned the midsole feels.

The BOA dial lets me loosen up on descents and crank it down for climbs without ever stopping to retie. The Vibram outsole grips well on loose dirt and rocky sections, and the cushioning eats up miles without feeling mushy.

The BOA dial on the side makes it stupid easy to loosen up on a downhill and then crank it tight again before the next climb. The Vibram outsole has gripped perfectly on loose, dusty trails since day one, and the cushioning feels plush without being mushy.
