Altra Torin 8 GTX Women's review: what runners say
Fit
Runs slightly longer and wider than the previous version. The new defined heel reduces slippage; those who tend to size up with Altra can consider the standard size.
Feel
Plush cushioning with updated EGO Max midsole; the feel remains the classic 30mm zero-drop, with a more contained lateral seat thanks to raised sidewalls.
Durability
Sources indicate excellent durability as a recognized strength. Specific mileage not stated in the corpus.
Best for
Zero-drop neutral trainer for medium-long distances and walking. Recommended for forefoot strikers and wide feet; not recommended for heel strikers.
Weak points
Increased weight compared to the v7 (from 9.8 oz to 10.3 oz). The tongue is not gusseted and the EGO Max compound is considered by some sources to be outdated compared to the competition.
