Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

The is the best Altra Torin since the 4.5 Plush.
Yes , I recommend this product
This is the best Altra Torin since the 4.5 Plush...and the GTX model has been great at helping keep the heat in during these cold winter months. Typically during the winter, I have been running with toe warmers and hot sockees. I bought the Torin 8 GTX the day they were available and have had no need for the hot sockees...and only using toe warmers on the coldest days. The show is very comfortable and holding up well!!!

Great Update!
Outstanding update! I own 4 pairs of the 7s and saw no reason to buy the 8s. Doing a GTX version is smart as it gave me a reason and now considering modernizing my fleet.

Good for long walks
Yes , I recommend this product
Wore in my new shoes yesterday. Up to now, standing for six hours has brought no discomfort. The walk has been entirely smooth, without any problems. This is the first occasion I've managed to wear in a pair of shoes without encountering any issues.

Buyer beware
No, I do not recommend this product
These shoes are quite dangerous—they have a very stiff tab that presses into you Achilles tendon. After several hours walking I compressed a nerve and lost feeling on the side of my foot for several days. I can also see someone seriously damaging their Achilles tendon.

Runs small
I've been waiting for Altra to produce a waterproof street shoe so I ordered these as soon as I saw them. I order size 13, the size I have worn in more than a dozen Altra shoes. These shoes run smaller than the others and are barely long enough for me. I'm sure a 14 would be too big, so I am keeping them. I recommend people order a half size larger than they ordinarily do.

Great in wet mornings.
Most mornings I walk 3 to 5 miles in open spaces behind my home. These shoes not only don't bother my bunion, but keep my feet dry in wet grass on a foggy morning in the moors. I bought them in on April 16 and was so pleased that I bought another pair (without GORE TEX) for around the house and everyday.
