Lve the Altra Torin Lux

Having liked the Torin Plush 4.5, but hating the Torin Plush 5.0 due to the hard change to the shoe's tongue-I was in pursuit of a new shoe and thought I would investigate the other Torin models. The Lux seems better than the Torin Plush for me in the respect that 1. The laces and tongue are MUCH better, and 2. Although it offer good cushioning-it does not seem as "spongey" as the Plush could feel at times. And I love the zero drop of the Altra models-so this shoe gets pretty close to a 5.0...but THAT 5.0 shoe would have to make me run like when I was 20 years old...and I am now 53. So, in that regard my expectations might need to change for a 5.09 rating.
