My only beef with the Time Osmos 12 is the tongue. The technology and quality at this price point give me some confidence that will be the case. That said, I do expect these to handle several good years of solid riding. That’s not me, so I wear my scuffs and scrapes with pride. New is too shiny, and I feel like I have to baby my gear. That happens, and I personally like it when I have some cosmetic dings. Unfortunately, I’ve had to walk in them a bit, and some scuffing has occurred. Hence, I would say that these are a hit when it comes to me wearing and promoting them to my cycling buddies. Never any hot spots, tightness, or any discomfort. I’ve put hundreds of miles on this shoe with my longest day wearing them for about 7 hours. I am managing to hang in with those great riders, and can certainly attribute that to my Time Osmes 12 shoes and Carbon composite sole. With every muscle in my body pushing down on my shoes, soles, and pedals, I can only hope that the energy is pushed down and through to my bike. When I have to get out of the saddle the pain in my legs and lungs are evident. I am pushed to my limit to stay with elite riders.

The pounds of pressure or wattage are through the roof when we hit bumpy terrain at full speed. The Carbon composite sole is lightweight, aerodynamic, and quite strong. This may seem insignificant, but the slight little advantage over the course of a hundred mile ride and/or thousands of feet of climbing, may make a huge difference. As I ride and experience different temperatures and efforts, a quick adjustment is easily made because of the Boa System. The Time Osmos 12 has a Boa Bi-directional Closure system that delivers a semi-custom fit by tightening uniquely to your foot with a uniform cinching system. I am super happy with my 12 in that the strap allows me to play with the snugness of the toe while the Boa dial and it’s subsequent lacing wire uniformly tightens the rest of the foot. The 10 has one Boa dial, the 12 has a Boa dial and a strap, and the 15 comes equipped with 2 Boa dials. The level of Carbon in the sole plays a big role, and the closure system also steps up with the numbers.

The levels of the Time Osmos series has everything to do with how many of the fancy technological upgrades you desire. No sliding or rubbing, and it’s the attention to detail which is a great touch. It is soft with a grip-like texture that hugs my ankle perfectly. The heel cuff extra padding is such a nice touch.
#Time osmos 10 skin#
At around 500 grams, it’s really as if my feet were wrapped in a second skin with a solid carbon composite sole. It was constant pressure, and my feet were nice and comfy. My last ride was a 45 mile sustained 23 mph effort in a large group. A little bit of extra space has not effected my power output. After a few weeks of cranking away on the pedals, I made the correct decision. At first, I was a bit worried thinking that I may have gone to large. I just don’t want my toes to be cramped anymore. Maybe it has to do with age, and feet flattening out.
