Women's Timp 5 BOA

The BOA dial is a game changer on long trail runs — I can tighten or loosen on the fly without stopping, and it never loosens up on descents. The Vibram outsole gripped wet rock way better than my old trail shoes. Cushioning feels plush without being mushy.

I've got wide feet and usually have to fiddle with laces three times a run, but the BOA dial lets me loosen or tighten on the fly without stopping. The cushioning underfoot felt plush even after an hour on hardpack, and the Vibram outsole bit into loose gravel on the downhills.

Wore these on a rocky trail last weekend and the Vibram sole stuck to wet slabs like glue. The BOA dial is the real win though, I could loosen it on the climbs without stopping. Cushioning is plush enough for long days.
