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.

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!!!
Made it a quarter mile before getting terrible blisters on my heels.
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.
so far no complaints beyond happy to have a road shoe that's water proof
