Altra Torin 8

Altra Torin 8 review: what runners say

Fit

Runs longer and slightly wider than the v7: those who always size up should reconsider. More defined heel hold, less slippage, zero-drop confirmed.

Feel

Medium-high cushioning with updated EgoMax, plush feel with a residual firmness that keeps it dynamic. The v7 was perceived as flat; the v8 improves without overhauling.

Durability

Rubber reinforcements at the heel oriented toward high mileage. Durability rated excellent across sources, with no specific mileage figure cited.

Best for

Neutral zero-drop trainer for long distances and daily use. Best suited for forefoot strikers with a wide foot or metatarsal issues. Not recommended for pronounced pronators or heel strikers.

Weak points

Weight increase over the v7 (+approximately 14 g). Tongue is not gusseted. Some sources note the EgoMax foam could use a more substantial update.
