OUR BRAND
Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE
Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION
Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

Just what I wanted!
Fit great! Hurt my feet for the first day but adjusted real quick and now they get more comfortable everyday. Very sturdy and walking is great. Worth the money!

Completely redesigned shoe
9/10, -1 for a bit of a longer break in period than previous versionTL;DR The shoe is completely redesigned without understatement, they still feel very good for running or daily work wear but almost everything has changed about the previous version.Changes:1. The shoe is mostly made of more mesh padding that is very airy, i noticed it immediately upon wearing the shoe when i went for a walk with a slight breeze and could feel it on my toes.2. The heel is more rigid than soft which for some might throw them off at first especially when breaking in the shoe. It is also narrower and has a better heel cup feel. It feels better for running as it is a more secure heel than before, but very rigid. I feel it’s a good change as the previous version heels are tearing on mine which prompted the purchase.3. The tongue is more padded than previous version, this gives the top of your feet better feel as you bring your foot up in stride as previously you may have felt the laces more as it was very thin4. Better ground feel. The shoe is known for feeling pretty close to the ground with the zero drop and I appreciate it as it makes me feel like a more natural run than overly cushioned, but it is still a soft landing on every foot strike with what looks like more of the ergo foam5. Changed all of the locations of the reflective stripes which may be off putting for early morning or late night runners for safety, I’m not sure why the reflective laces and heel reflection were changed for more reflection in the front but the design does not change anything for me6. General logo placement and size changes. Not a problem as it doesn’t affect your run but could be a swag difference for those shoe enthusiasts who care.It was very odd to see them completely redesigned like this as most other companies would only change maybe one or two things for the next version, but I love running in Torins and they feel great all day for working on my feet.Great purchase and would buy again.

Great shoe
Second pair of Torins I’ve owned. Just as good as the Torin 7s. Comfortable and true to size.

Great all around exercise shoe
The Altra Torin 8 road running shoe is great for running, walking and training in the gym. I’ve had other Torin model but this one has definitely improved comfort and fit.

Incredible shoes!
Incredible shoes! My third pair from Altra and these are my favorite. All Altra are formed to the natural shape of my foot but these have lots of cushion! Comfortable and premium.

Works quite well
takes getting used to, but the shoes are wonderful for ortho inserts. Sometimes my feet get sore and hurt if I am standing still for long periods of time, which is why I need to keep moving , especially in these shoes.I lace them up with a runners loop and they snug up real nice without having to tie them really tight or even pulling the laces hard, just slide my feet in, and gently tug on the laces, and my foot is secured very well.I am not familiar with the seller, OVA stores, but I do think the Altra shoe is worth the money.I have flat feet and overpronation, so with my orthotics given to me by my doctor, these shoes are quite comfortable and I feel no more back pain while walking on concrete. Of course I am exercising now and working on strengthening my core so that my torso is more supported, so I do not want to rely solely on the shoes, but give myself every opportunity to alleviate the feet soreness and back pain.I have owned these shoes for about 2 months now and walk in them daily.The size is true, I wear size 12 2E and I got these in size 12 2E (wide) and they hit the spot, no need to go any wider for me.

Comfortable and durable
High quality lightweight shoe good for walking, loafing, working out at the gym, but I wouldn’t run in them due to insufficient cushioning in the heel. Love the big toe box as my toes won’t tolerate being bound in a tight shoe.

Good shoe, but I was shipped a used pair at new price.
I am a big fan of Altra shoes so I bought my husband a pair. They arrived packaged as if they were brand new but the soles were covered in dirt and debris like someone wore them outside more than a few times. There were no other signs of wear. Seems pretty dishonest to ship these as if they are brand new when it’s obvious they are used.The fit is good with a wide toe box. The stars I’m giving are for the shoe in general not this specific pair.

Perfectas. Cómodas, con amortiguación y espacio para los dedos. Ya podían otras marcas mirar los pies para saber cómo son de verdad y fabricar zapatos con la forma correcta.Edito: resbalan con suelo mojado; resbalan mucho tanto en la acera como en la carretera después de haber llovido. Bajo la puntuación por ese motivo.

Muy cómodos para caminata y gimnasio. Para trotar o correr requiere adaptación de un par de meses pues al tener un drop de casi cero, cansa el tendón de Aquiles, la fascia plantar y las pantorrillas. Si tienes neuroma de Morton o buscas un calzado respetuoso con punta ancha, estos tenis son muy buenos. No tienen tanto amortiguamiento como unos Hoka Bondi 9 o unos Sketcher, pero son más estables y cumplen otras funciones. Estéticamente son muy bonitos y distintos.
