Description

Comfortable. You’ve heard it before, but you’ve never felt it like with the Torin 8. Featuring a roomy toe box, zero drop, and a soft underfoot feel, it’s classic Altra at its best. Designed for a flexible, light, and soft run, the Torin 8 delivers everything you need for comfort and performance. Signature features include a secure midfoot fit and plenty of room to let your toes move freely. The breathable mesh upper and heel collar mold to your foot, creating an “ahhh” moment right at step-in. Underfoot, the lightweight and plush midsole foam is built to perform, helping you conquer road miles while staying comfortable and ready to go the distance. Experience Altra with a shoe that’s made to keep you moving and Stay Out There. Unique Altra EGO MAX midsole foam is designed for a little extra bounce and a plush feel. With Altra’s signature FootShape fit, you get plenty of room to help your toes move more freely, with a secure midfoot. FootPod technology in the outsole supports your foot’s flexibility and helps the shoe move naturally with your body’s movement, so you can interact with your environment. Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime. Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential. Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

  • Definite Plantar Fasciitis Help!
Size: 10.5 Color: Black/White
I might be a little hasty on this review because I just put them on for the first time today. I cannot believe how good they feel on my sore and normally hurting plantar fasciitis feet! For the moment at least, they are causing me no pain in the area of the plantar fascia, and the pain in my heels has been greatly mitigated. I've just been wearing them around the house for now, but will gradually begin the process of increasing their wear time in the upcoming days. I really like the roomy toe box and the zero drop from heel to toe. It's going to take a bit before my feet get completely acclimated to a proper shoe, but I am optimistically hoping for the best. Oh, and they look nice too! The fit is far superior, especially with the supported and structured heels than I've experienced in quite a few years now. These seem to be excellent shoes! Wish me luck. ... show more

  • FITS WIDE FOOT W/PADDED ARCH!
Size: 10.5 Color: Black/White
Better than expected. Have flat feet and need X-tra wide size. The shoe deside is wide, not a wide size but feels GREAT!! Padded arch a plus. DEFINITELY look to purchase more of these. Light and Comfy and legs feel so much better.

  • xcellent All-Around shoe with Great Durability and Style
Size: 15 Color: Black
Best ones I've ever worn. I am extremely impressed with the ALTRA Men's Torin 8. Right out of the box, their appearance is fantastic, and considering the overall build quality, they offer exceptional value for the money. The durability on these shoes is outstanding. They hold up incredibly well over time and miles. What I appreciate most is the balance in the construction; there is absolutely no stiffness, allowing for a very natural and comfortable stride, yet the shoe is remarkably rigid enough to handle some light off-trail use without a problem. They are also wonderfully lightweight on the foot, making long runs feel much easier. It is worth noting for potential buyers that they have a very flat profile, which means there is limited arch support. If you are looking for a flatter shoe that lets your foot move naturally, these are absolutely perfect. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Wide enough for me, though dead like feel on the road.
Size: 9.5 Wide Color: Black/Lime
1. Fit: I have an incredibly wide midfoot, especially in my left foot and these fit amazingly well. The only other shoes that have fit this well are New Balance's 4E shoes. As you can see in the photo, there is minimal outer foot spillover. These are the wide variants and typical of Altra, the 8's are very different from the 7's. I ran 12 miles in these with no lateral foot pain but with the 7's, I was only able to run 3-4 miles before the pain was unbearable and I got the 7's in wide as well. The only problem I have is that these are 9.5 and they feel more like a 10. In the photo you can see that its about my thumb's width long where my toes end in respect to the tip of the shoe. Still, I'm happy that these are wide enough for my feet. Also, the toe shape makes a huge difference. I get blisters on my little toes in non-foot shaped shoes but in these, hardly any. The farthest I've run in these is 12 miles but in older Torins, I did 50-100 mile races and my feet were virtually toe blister free. Still blisters, but not in the toes. I also have the Escalante's and these fit better width wise. Less side spillage. 2. Zero drop. I love zero drop shoes. Anecdotally, I just feel better in them and I think it allows me to midfoot strike better than a non-zero drop shoe. 3. Style. I love this color combo. The last ones where an ugly white and neon green. I typically get the all blacks, but these are black with just enough color. My favorite color scheme were the blue/orange on the old superiors. 4. The only thing I don't like about this shoe is that I feel that it deadens my foot strike. The cushioning is a bit too soft and I sink into them. I feel like I'm running in hard sand. I think this will become a bigger issue with more miles. That's why I also have the Escalante's. Firmer cushion. Overall, I still enjoy this shoe. It's the only shoe that's wide enough and foot shaped with cushion out there. My third favorite behind 1) Vibram Five Fingers and 2) Altra Escalante wide. ... show more

  • One of my favorite running shoes
I absolutely loved this shoe. It was so comfortable on my slow or "fast" runs on a treadmill and pavement. I weighed 196-203 lbs at any given time just for context. It is wide on the toes and still able to secure the shoe to my heel and mid-foot. I also used it as a walking shoe in hard gravel, dirt, and pavement for over 10 months since I was stuck in the middle east (without mail for a few months). I couldn't have had a better shoe to be stuck with :) ... show more

  • This is a great brand. These shoes are wonderful and last a long time.
Size: 12 Color: Navy
These are great shoes. We bought them for a trip to Washington DC where we knew we would do a lot of walking. We did not even have time to break them in, but they worked great. There was no negatives was a great value for the product. They are lightweight and very comfortable. I would highly recommend them. ... show more

  • Excellent Shoe - Too Bad Amazon Doesn’t Follow Their Own Return Policy
Size: 12 Color: Black/White
The shoe itself warrants 5 stars but I’m deducting 2 stars due to Amazon not following their own return policy which states “Most items can be returned for a refund or replacement/exchange within 30 days of delivery as long as they are in original or unused condition.” The shoes were obviously worn outside as the bottom and back of the soles were dirty, one shoe actually had a rock still in the sole. As far as the shoe goes the Torin 8’s are my favorite. I don’t run but walk and I’ve been wearing this style going on a year and a half after moving on from Hokas. I love the wide toe box and the zero drop. There’s enough cushion to keep my feet feeling fine after being on them all day. My wife and I did two guided tours in Europe last year that involved a lot of walking, I had no blisters, there was no break-in period, and no sore feet at the end of the day. Hopefully when the 8’s are no longer available the new Torin 9’s will be just as comfortable. ... show more

  • Immediate comfort and gait support
Size: 7.5 Color: Black/White
Fantastic, arch, correction and comfort I overpronate in a big way and these shoes accommodate my inserts and help correct my gait. I am a female presenting human, but the men’s fit great and cost a little less.
