Every trail run is a new adventure. With no telling what the trail has in store, you need a pair of shoes that is up for the unexpected challenges that await. The Altra Men’s Timp 5 BOA and Wander Trail Running Shoes fit that description nicely. Good shoes are important for road miles, but they are absolutely imperative on the trails. Proper grip and support can be the difference between a long, rewarding run through the woods and a day that ends early with a slip and a fall.
These are shoes that somehow embrace the minimalist running mindset while providing your feet robust protection at the same time. Altra’s characteristic roomy toe box allows your feet to maintain their natural shape in the shoe, yet the BOA PerformFit Wrap Configuration system gives your midfoot a reassuring squeeze. Add in the rugged Vibram Megagrip outsole and you have a shoe that isn’t going to back down from rocks, logs, streams, or anything else you encounter.
