Men's Torin 8 Road Running Shoe

Very comfortable, took a few outings to get them broken in, they were a little more stiff in the toe box area. Best shaped shoes I’ve had, really work well for me. If I could find them in a store I would’ve liked to try them either a half size smaller or not in a wide. I think the shape of the toe box gave me more room than I’ve had in all my other shoes (Brooks & Mizuno) that I’ve always purchased in 2E width. That said, great stable shoe that looks nice as well. Would buy again assuming I can try the different sizes as well.

9/10, -1 for a bit of a longer break in period than previous version TL;DR The shoe is completely redesigned without understatement, they still feel very good for running or daily work wear but almost everything has changed about the previous version. Changes: 1. The shoe is mostly made of more mesh padding that is very airy, i noticed it immediately upon wearing the shoe when i went for a walk with a slight breeze and could feel it on my toes. 2. The heel is more rigid than soft which for some might throw them off at first especially when breaking in the shoe. It is also narrower and has a better heel cup feel. It feels better for running as it is a more secure heel than before, but very rigid. I feel it’s a good change as the previous version heels are tearing on mine which prompted the purchase. 3. The tongue is more padded than previous version, this gives the top of your feet better feel as you bring your foot up in stride as previously you may have felt the laces more as it was very thin 4. Better ground feel. The shoe is known for feeling pretty close to the ground with the zero drop and I appreciate it as it makes me feel like a more natural run than overly cushioned, but it is still a soft landing on every foot strike with what looks like more of the ergo foam 5. Changed all of the locations of the reflective stripes which may be off putting for early morning or late night runners for safety, I’m not sure why the reflective laces and heel reflection were changed for more reflection in the front but the design does not change anything for me 6. General logo placement and size changes. Not a problem as it doesn’t affect your run but could be a swag difference for those shoe enthusiasts who care. It was very odd to see them completely redesigned like this as most other companies would only change maybe one or two things for the next version, but I love running in Torins and they feel great all day for working on my feet. Great purchase and would buy again.

These are my favorite running shoes of all time. I have wide feet, so finding shoes that fit comfortably is a challenge, but the Altra Torin fits me perfectly. Good cushioning too, which I find is more and more important as I get older. I don't love the price, but I can usually find them on sale. I'll keep buying them as long as Altra keeps making them.

I'm not a runner, but was recommended these because I do a lot of walking on road/sidewalk. Fit: Runs true to size. The company recommends to size up, especially since I wear a half size. While I do find them comfortable and not a bad fit, I think my true size would probably have been a bit better. Unfortunately, they don't come in that size, but these work well enough for me as is. Plenty of toe room, which was the biggest draw for these. Build: They're lightweight and springy, but not overly cushioned. I've been wearing them daily for months now and they have yet to scuff or show any significant signs of wear, so they seem plenty durable. They make it very easy to run, even for someone like me who usually sticks to a brisk walking pace. Feel: Generally quite comfortable, but took some getting used to as the shape and thickness of the sole gives them a mild rocker effect. You will definitely get your workout walking or running in these. They don't dig in around the ankles, but I do still find myself getting blisters on the outsides of my toes after a long time on the road. No issues standing all day at work, though. Overall, these are good quality, but a bit pricey. A great choice if you're doing shorter-distance runs. Even as someone who uses them mostly as a daily casual wear shoe, they've been pretty good for me, though not perfect. Good for being on my feet all day, but for my longer walks, I may keep looking for something with a little less height and a little more cushion.

One of my best running shoes yet. I run probably 4 times a week on average and about 5+ miles each run. Not a “high milage” person but enough to tell the difference between a shoe that works and doesn’t. I have a wide toe box to begin with so this shoe made a great fit. I didn’t notice any arch collapse or overly stiffness in the shoe during first wear or after. I have this shoe probably long than should and put on around 500-600 miles and it’s still holding up well.

Zero drop is best for total knee replacement rehab. Regaining knee extension is one of the most important things you can do and this one helps get there faster. I also like the width of the toes and the heel cup is stable so that my foot wouldn't turn over like those high heel running shoes, I chatted what orthopedic surgeons and physical therapist recommended and this was one of the shoes for rehabilitating a total knee.

Great shoes. Great support and wide shoe box for comfort. They were so good, I bought another pair to alternate.

Review for ALTRA Men's Torin 8 Road Running ...: Frustratingly Incorrect Width, Despite Ordering Wide Four different Altra shoes were recently ordered on Amazon. Both were selected with the WIDE WIDTH option, which was clearly listed and available. Both orders were received in the standard, MEDIUM width, which is unacceptable. Altra shoes were specifically sought out for their wider toe box. The availability of a dedicated wide width in the models I picked. Whe wide width offered created optimism. Receiving the wrong width twice is a significant disappointment and a waste of time, money, and resources. Ordered: Altra in Wide Width Received: in Medium Width Initial Impression (Medium Width): The standard fit of this shoe is uncomfortable and restrictive due to the incorrect width. The ample toe space that is often associated with Altra's wide options was not provided. Frustration: The incorrect sizing prevents experiencing the advertised features and benefits of this shoe, further adding to the frustration. Overall Disappointment and Wasted Resources: Returning items is frustrating because of an avoidable error. This experience has wasted time and the resources used in packaging and shipping the incorrect items. Amazon should not allow sellers to offer the wide width option if it is not truly available and accurately fulfilled. This misrepresentation is misleading and impacts customers who desperately need wider footwear due to foot problems. The situation has left the me without the proper footwear needed for my feet rehab. Amazon and Altra should address this issue to ensure accurate listings and fulfillment for wide-width shoes in the future. This kind of mistake impacts customer satisfaction and trust. Unfortunately, I will have 2 wait for the 3rd and 4th. Altra pairs in order to return them, as I believe they will ALSO be sent in medium width, which is not going to allow me to keep them.

Overall good... I am using for walking and long standing jobs for a while and using it for a while. Not good in comfort for long standing and long walkings

Love the updates on the Torin 8. The zero-drop platform feels very stable, and the lockdown is much improved over previous versions. The foam provides excellent energy return without feeling too "mushy" on the road. If you're looking for a natural-shaped running shoe that can handle high mileage, this is it.

Sehr schöne Schuhe

Los compré buscando una mejor posición para el pie y me funcionaron muy bien. Tienen más de 400km y están en buen estado. Ya voy por varios pares de la marca y por ahora pienso seguir usándolos. He corrido carreras cortas y un maratón, me han funcionado en todos los casos. Solo hay que considerar el proceso de transición entre tenis tradicionales y esto, cambia la manera en la que apoya el pie y al principio se puede sentir raro.
