Features

The Altra Torin 8 delivers plush comfort and a natural ride mile after mile.

Think of the comfiest running shoe you've tried, then add in the freedom of a roomy toe box and the natural feel of a zero-drop design. That's what Altra has created with the Torin 8, thanks to their plush EGO™ Max cushioning which has been tweaked to feel softer than ever without turning mushy on you.

So whether you're tackling long distances or seeking all-day comfort, the Torin 8's smooth, balanced ride and spacious fit delivers a seamless experience that moves with you through every stride.

Details:

  • Upper: A breathable jacquard mesh upper paired with a new molded heel collar gives you a premium fit and feel. The Standard FootShape™ toe box gives your toes room to splay naturally while maintaining a secure midfoot lockdown.
  • Midsole: Enhanced EGO™ Max foam provides softer, more responsive cushioning than previous versions. Plus, the zero-drop platform promotes a smooth and natural ride.
  • Outsole: Strategic rubber placement delivers durability and traction while maintaining flexibility.

โ€œMy favorite thing about the Torin 8 is Altraโ€™s Standard Footshapeโ„ข Fit. The step-in feel is awesome and it translates to comfort during the run as well. Having that much room in the toebox is just another example of how the Torin 8 is a uniquely different experience from the other shoes in my lineup.โ€

Altra Women's shoe

Sue K 4 weeks ago Verified Purchase

They fit so well on my reconstructed left foot and I can walk normal, exercise and feel comfortable. I worry that your stock is dwindling, what I am going to do when they change this style or you run out of my size. Since is the only shoe I found that conforms to my foot problem, I love this style.

The upgrade is a downgrade

Larissa D 1 month ago Verified Purchase

Iโ€™m really bummed about the differences in the torin 7 versus the torin 8. I loved the torin 7 so much I purchased it twice. Was time to retire them so I upgraded to the 8. Iโ€™m having so much knee and ankle pain I never had before. So bummed. And eventho Iโ€™m within my 30 days. Of course I immediately trashed the box bc I had loved them before

Thought theyโ€™d be more comfortable. My feet hurt.

I like Brooks better. I was hoping the wide toe box would be good, but my feet hurt in these shoes.

Canโ€™t go wrong

I got these for a daily shoe because of a recent injury. They are perfect. I have used this model for running too which is very comfy. The zero drop is my favorite and supports stability and allows for proper support for my flat feet. My physical therapist was pleased

Not for running

Emily T 2 months ago Verified Purchase

I wanted a running shoe that is more stable than Hokas. These fit fabulously. They are quite stable. However, they are terrible for running. After the cushion of Hokas, the Altras are like running in bricks. I'll keep them for regular everyday wear, but I've already purchased another pair of Hokas for running.
