Altra Torin 8 GTX

Altra Torin 8 GTX review: what runners say

Fit

Runs slightly longer and wider than the previous version. The redesigned heel cup reduces slippage; runners who typically size up in Altra may want to try their standard size.

Feel

Plush cushioning with the updated EGO Max midsole; retains the classic zero-drop feel at 30 mm stack, with a more contained ride laterally thanks to raised sidewalls.

Durability

Sources cite durability as a recognized strong point. Specific mileage not stated in the corpus.

Best for

Neutral zero-drop trainer for medium-to-long distances and walking. Suited for forefoot strikers and wide feet; not recommended for heel strikers.

Weak points

Weight increase over the v7 (9.8 oz to 10.3 oz). The tongue is not gusseted, and the EGO Max compound is considered by some sources to already lag behind the competition.
