These shoes might just be what the Dr. ordered!
4 Stars
These shoes might just be what the Dr. ordered!
So far so good. I first ran a little over a mile on them. Then three miles. Then twelve. I read that you should slowly adjust to these shoes because they are so different with the Zero-Drop. However, I'm not a heel striker so I didn't have much to adjust to. Furthermore, the problems I've been having with my IT band are all but gone! The only reason for the four stars is that the soles are quite worn for only putting 16 miles on them so far. But, I would ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt, buy these again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well cushioned and lot of room in toe box
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015
Verified Purchase
I was wearing Brooks Glycerin 12 running shoes and previously the 11s, which I love, but my pinky toe was a bit squished and eventually tore through the mesh of the shoe. If I wear wide shoes my heal slips....I need the room in the toe box not the heal. I just received my shoes today and felt like a kid at Christmas when my package arrived. I put my much anticipated shoes on and instantly felt the zero drop. I felt a little like I was leaning backwards (I am guessing this is how my body normally leans to compensate for the 10mm drop of my Brooks), I have never had zero drop shoes. The heal does have more room compared to my Brooks, but I don't think it will be a problem. These shoes are very well cushioned and I can't wait to test them out on a run! I will update my review after after running in them.

Love, love, love these shoes. They have a wonderful toe box that match the shape of my feet. They have some arch support and a cushioned footbed. I generally wear a 9 in closed toe shoes and I ordered a 9 but a 9.5 would probably have been better. The instructions indicate that there should be a specific amount of space between the longest toe and the top of the shoe. Pay attention to that. I'm right at the edge of the size. These will work fine because I walk instead of run but if I were to order another pair, I'd probably go for the 9.5 size.

I have wide feet and high arches/insteps. This is the second pair of Altras I have purchased. These shoes are light weight and comfortable. The wide toe box is awesome and I no longer feel "bound up" while wearing athletic shoes. When I take my shoes off in the evening there are no lingering imprints on my insteps!

I walk the dog about 2.5 miles a day so I upgraded from the Altra One 2.5 to the Torin model for additional cushioning during my walk and I kept the Altra One 2.5 for work. I think in the future I will simply stick with the Torin!

The only negative is that I feel they are a little expensive for how quickly the shoes wear out. :( However, this will not deter me from future purchases!

2.0 out of 5 stars I want to like them ... but I can't
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

I like how these shoes feel when I put them on. I have really high arches, and the arch support is really good. My toes have lots of room to move, not scrunched up. I like the zero drop, this works best for my knees and hips. I really wanted the extra cushioning that these shoes offer. Unfortunately, I just can't wear them, because there is something weird about the right one. The tongue wants to track off to the side, and the ball of my right foot ends up riding on the very inside edge of the shoe after about 1-2 miles. This causes a big bruise on the ball of my foot. I've tried some non-Altra inserts to help, but nothing has worked. No matter what I put in the shoe, I end up running on this inside edge and either getting blisters or bruises. The left shoe does not do this. (This is my 2nd pair of Altras. I have the original Intuition. I have worn Merrell zero drop shoes for several years, in between my 2 pair of Altras. None of my other shoes do this.) Overall, I wish I would have returned these in the time window, instead of trying to find a way to make them work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jury still out on whether an improvement or not from the 1.5
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
As with previous Torin shoes, I need to buy a half size larger than all my other brands of running shoes. Torins are sized larger than some of the other Altra models, though. For example, in Lone Peak model I go up a full size. I like the extra thickness of the sole, however, I am getting some uncomfortable tingling in a few of my toes from these shoes. I have worn them twice for running, and this happened both times. I have not pinpointed why yet. My foot does not sit as well in these as it did in the Torin 1.5. Also, the Torin 2.0 are missing the extra hole at the ankle so you can cinch your heel down. So my heel slips some when running. I plan to punch my own hole and see if that helps with the lacing.
I absolutely adored the comfort and fit of the Torin 1.5, but the mid sole didn't last very many miles. I was looking forward to the extra thickness and the promised durability of the 2.0. Jury is still out on whether I will order additional pairs, or just stock up on the 1.5s.

I actually ordered these in the black and pink color but the shipper sent me the green/yellow ones by mistake. It didn't matter to me as I loved the color! These are the absolute most comfortable wear of shoes I have ever owned. No blisters, no breaking in, no rubbing. I have relatively narrow feet but didn't feel these were too wide at all. Plenty of room in the toe box and the cushioning is fabulous. I want to order another pair now so when these wear out I will have them. AWESOME.

3.0 out of 5 stars could be great for Hoka lovers
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
These didn't work for me, though I think they could be fine for other feet. Good Altra quality; lovely color. I loved the original Torins: they were more squishy but not as thick in the sole, and not so tall in the toe box.

What didn't work for me:
• chunky sole numbs road feel; could see Hoka wearers liking these
• thick sole is denser than original Torin: less responsive, more stiff
• toe box is too roomy for me in the vertical direction: could almost fit two layers of my feet in the forefoot area

Very thankful for Amazon's return policy. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Achilles Tendinitis Cure?
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
I'm 46 and have struggled with Achilles Tendinitis for 9+ years. I've tried everything: wraps, patches, supplements, ice, more ice, massage, chiro, orthotics, months of rest... you name it. I had basically just accepted the pain as the cost of being a runner. I was looking for something to replace my HOKA Cliftons, which I loved, but was getting some toe-bruising with them as I increased my distances. A friend, who is an ultra-runner, raved about his Altras and their large toe-box, so I decided to give them a go. The first run (6 miles) in them was a little weird/awkward, having never run in a zero-drop shoe before. I actually thought I was getting shin-splints. And my calves cramped/ached quite a bit during that run. It definitely felt like I was having to work harder to propel forward. But I noticed the next day that my Achilles tendons didn't hurt! Since then I've done 5 more runs in these shoes with no leg pain and my Achilles have never felt better. I'm definitely a convert to the zero-drop philosophy now. I only wish I'd discovered these shoes sooner!

I often have problems finding shoes that do not squeeze my toes together and I happened to read about this shoe online and found it on Amazon. It is a perfect shoe and I think I will always be wearing foot shaped shoes for my exercise activities...after all, there is no reason to put my feet through a beating that it does not need.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable Shoe But Poor Wear & Tear Issues
Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2016
Verified Purchase
Comfortable shoe for running short or long distances in. Similar fit to the Lone Peak 2.0 trail running shoe. Love the colour, which is why I purchased it on amazon.ca. It seems to be the only place in Canada that all colours are available, instead of the dull, boring or ugly colours that shoe companies stick us with.
BE AWARE that Altra has a reputation for poor wear and tear issues after very few/low kms, and that Altra Canada (entrixsports.com) will NOT honour their warranty if you purchase them here. This is the response I received after emailing them: "Unfortunately because we do not sell to Amazon, I cannot help you with any warranty issue regarding a shoe purchased through them. You will have to contact Amazon directly for that." I'm hoping that Amazon will turn out to be a more ethical company than Altra.
Here is my Altra Shoe experiences with wear and tear:
My first experience with Altra was the Intuition 2.0 which were good running shoes but they got a hole in the mesh beside my pinky toe after only a few weeks. This happened with all three pairs that I had. Otherwise they were great to run in.
Then when the 3.0 came out I bought 2 coral coloured pairs and 1 blue pair. The first coral pair that I bought in 2015 lasted about 350 kms before the inside of the heel started to wear and I was getting blisters. The second coral pair only lasted about 206 kms before the same thing happened. Then the blue pair (bought through amazon.ca) started to do the same after 135.69 kms. I found that I was also starting to get blisters on my middle toe and sides of the balls of my feet.
I had also bought a pair of Lone Peak 2.0 for running in the snow and ice for better traction. I have never had an issue with these, not even during two 30k road races held at the end of March. And they are great for trail running, which I've just gotten into.
So I bought a pair of Torin 2.0 after trying on a pair at a race expo where some Altra running ambassadors suggested that they would be a better fit and I shouldn't get any blisters on my toes or balls of the feet. I purchased them through amazon.ca (because I could get them in Parrot Blue) in April. They fit a lot better than the Intuition and I haven't had any blisters on my toes or sides of my feet since I started wearing them. I also find them more comfortable to run in, and similar to my Lone Peak 2.0. However, I had less than 250 kms on them before I started to get blisters on my heel due to the inside of the heel of the shoe wearing out and something hard rubbing against my heel. I wear good quality running socks that normally prevent blistering but not with these shoes.
Good quality running shoes that cost as much as Altra's do should last anywhere from 500-600+ kms.
I hope your shoes last longer than mine did.
Happy running!
