The Low Volume insole provides durable semi-rigid support, high rebound shock absorbing foam with enhanced comfort in the heel and is more accommodating for lower volume shoes or those that prefer a thinner orthotic. 

The Low Volume is 5mm thick from heel to toe, has a wider forefoot and a narrower midfoot and heel when compared to the Orange model.

The Low Volume helps alleviate and prevent common injuries such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, shin splints, iliotibial band syndrome, achilles tendonitis and other conditions of the foot, knee, and hip.

The wider forefoot better accommodates footwear with a wider toe box – Combat boots, Altra, Merrell Barefoot Running models and Keen boots and shoes work well with this model. 

The Timp has long been a fan-favorite of the trail community, and with the upgrades made to the Timp 2, that won’t change. The updated model offers an overall trimmed down design with an updated fit for overall better performance, making it an always-ready trail running shoe. The outsole is designed to improve biomechanics and flexibility while the tweaked fit and lacing system work together to provide a better locked-in feel. The resilient, flexible cushioning in the Quantic™ with InnerFlex™ midsole adds comfort at every step while the MaxTrac™ outsole gives you the extra grip you need for any trail or terrain.
