The good comfort makes them possible to use on long distances. The Time Osmos 15 are good high-performance carbon shoes. In terms of durability, after using for many months, we didn’t see any weak points. Powerful adjustment so be careful not to overdo it. The two discs can be easily grasped, even with gloves on. The Boa system handling is as usual very practical and efficient.
When the temperature drops sharply, you must either cover them with a bootie or use a different pair because they are too cold. With all their ventilation, the Time Osmos 15 are ideal for outings in a hot weather. The Time Osmos 15 design is successful, yet we can’t help but notice the tongue’s two notches: not very pretty.

Pay attention to the instep area, because despite the fact that they have a comfortable tongue, the Boa system cable can cause a pressure point on top of the foot if you tighten it too much (ankle fold).Īnother point, they make a slight noise, they squeak (the tongue junction?) Like ski touring boots, which make a little noise when in full effort and it’s quite annoying. We tested these shoes with Time Xpro 10 pedals, what a treat!ĭuring long outings, we didn’t notice any friction or heat rubbing at the heels or forefoot. There’s no doubt that all the cyclist’s energy is transmitted through the pedals. The output is very good, both pushing and pulling. So you have a lightweight shoe, 175g without the cleats in size 42.5, 185 grams with the cleats. They’ve done a great job with carbon fiber. Let’s move on to the Time Osmos 15’s major highlight: its sole. We have also had easier shoes to put on that open wider, like the Scott Road RC. In short, you need to reposition the heels of your socks so you don’t have any extra thickness. The quid pro? When you put them on your socks don’t slip inside the shoes and their heels are held by the non-slip fabric. The heel is well pinched using a flexible and non-slip fabric, the heel remains firmly held when pedaling. The metatarsal zone is limited and the overall foot envelopment is very good. We were able to test them for a long time out on the road, on long routes but also on single-speed bikes where sole rigidity and the notion of “pulling” are fundamental.Ĭontrary to what we have read on some blogs, these shoes are narrow, especially around the forefoot (very snug fitting). The Time Osmos 15, at 300 euros, is the top-end model from the brand that owns the Rossignol group.
The OSMOS 15 weighs in at a claimed 480g for a size 42, which TIME admits is not the lightest shoe on the market because inter opinion that would sacrifice comfort. Bike deals: Deals on all things cycling The Osmos 10 is Times first model of the new Osmos range. Additionally, the OSMOS 15 get’s TIME’s more sophisticated Sensor 2+ insoles that incorporate higher-density EVA foam along the metatarsal zone to further optimize power transfer.
