Altra Timp 5 Boa, for which type of athlete, what use, what distance, and what surface?

It is recommended for your regular training at a low to moderate pace and proves effective over all distances.
Versatile, this model easily accompanies you on your preferred trails, from simple paths to technical terrain in the mountains.
Timp 5 Boa from Altra, what usage?
+ Focused on comfort and grip, the Timp 5 promises a smooth transition from road to mountain during your trail outings on all types of terrain. Whatever your needs, it accompanies you lightly to the summits. This version stands out with its lacing system synonymous with precision.
- This trail model is not designed for your road running sessions; for this use, you should opt for the Altra Torin 8.

- A completely redesigned outsole adapted to technical terrains: even more grip on dry and wet surfaces.

Technologies
-
Zero Drop
Flat cushioning. The Zero Drop platform offers total cushioning and places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground. This natural balance helps keep the feet, back, and body posture aligned to minimize shocks. Additionally, the Achilles tendon and lower calf muscles, weakened by wearing running shoes with elevated heels, are strengthened.
-
Foot-Shaped Toe Box
The FootShape toe box allows the toes to spread naturally and comfortably while keeping the big toe straight. This improves stability and increases the propulsion strength of the toes, optimizing running performance.
Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
-
Balanced Cushioning
The Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at the same height from the ground. This natural base helps to properly align the body, maintain better form, and promote low-impact ground contact.
-
Vibram Megagrip
The Vibram MEGAGRIP sole provides excellent grip properties on all types of terrain, especially on slippery surfaces, and high durability.
-
