I wore the Torin 8's as my everyday running shoe before these. I was sort of meh about them. These shoes feel like a major upgrade in every way. They feel a lot more responsive due to the new Vibram outsole. The tongue is more substantial. The laces are no longer made of a material that seems designed to come untied (they stay tied with a single knot!). They are much more comfortable and just enjoyable to run in. They look so much more sharp than the 8's with better colors and design. Other than that the most important things that are the reason I stayed with this brand remain the same - zero drop with a lot of cushioning, and wide toe box. These feel like premium shoes compared to the last version and I am actually enjoying putting them on and running in them.
This will be a wonderful shoe, and I want Altra to notice that we notice the improvements that are being made to this line of shoes in the way of durability (improved foam material, new outsole with a reputable brand) and fit (maintaining the foundational zero drop, wide toe box, and wide midfoot selections). Thank you, Altra team, for aiming to constantly improve and innovate with the wearer in mind. You rock!
Been eyeing this shoe for a while now and got it last week! It’s amazing. First couple of runs in it felt great. It’s very roomy, comfortable and feels good underfoot! Paired with the injini running socks, I’m excited to introduce this as my new daily trainer.
